Automatic Sausage Hanging
& Robotic Trolley Loading
Handling long and delicate sausages requires precise control throughout the process. ELCAT Food Technology develops automatic sausage hanging systems that combine controlled product handling and robotic automation from product infeed through to hanging and trolley loading.
Advanced robotic sausage handling and product-specific gripping systems enable the products to be automatically handled and hung on smoke sticks while maintaining consistent and reliable operation throughout the process.
The complete automation integrates sausage hanging, smoke stick handling and robotic trolley loading into a coordinated solution, reducing manual handling and creating a continuous flow between the upstream production process and the subsequent processing stages.
Sausage Orientation & Controlled Handling
Sausages arriving from the upstream production process are automatically oriented and organized for robotic handling, creating a controlled product flow before the hanging operation.
The handling system manages the products consistently throughout the transfer, preparing them for accurate robotic pick-up while minimizing unnecessary manual intervention.
Robotic Sausage Hanging
Once the products are correctly oriented and positioned, robotic handling systems pick the sausages and automatically hang them onto smoke sticks.
Product-specific gripping technology provides precise and reliable handling throughout the transfer, allowing long sausages to be managed consistently while reducing manual product handling.
Automated Smoke Stick Handling
Smoke sticks are automatically transferred into the robotic hanging process and coordinated with the product handling operations.
The integrated stick handling system ensures that each support is available at the required stage of the cycle, creating a coordinated flow between sausage hanging and downstream loading.

Once the smoke sticks are fully loaded, they are automatically transferred and robotically loaded into processing trolleys, completing the handling process without manual transfer of the product.
The integrated trolley loading system supports a continuous production flow, coordinating downstream loading with the preceding sausage hanging operations while reducing operator intervention.
Complete Automatic Sausage Hanging & Loading System
The complete ELCAT solution integrates sausage orientation, robotic hanging, smoke stick handling and robotic trolley loading within one coordinated automation process.
Products are handled continuously from the incoming production flow through to the final loading stage, with each operation synchronized around the characteristics of the product and the requirements of the processing line.
This integrated approach enables automatic sausage handling from product infeed to trolley loading, reducing manual operations while creating an efficient connection between upstream production and downstream processing.
Customized Automation for Sausages & Processed Meats
Different sausage products and processing lines require different handling strategies. Product dimensions, consistency, orientation and downstream operations all influence the most suitable automation concept.
ELCAT Food Technology develops customized handling and robotic automation for sausages and processed meats, integrating conveying, product orientation, robotic handling and automatic loading according to the specific application.
From individual handling operations to complete food processing automation systems, each solution is engineered around the product, required performance, available layout and integration with upstream and downstream equipment.
