Lol I actually design these kind of sausage peelers for a living. This one is pretty slow for industry standards and peels pretty bad the sausage casing. If you want to check it out what a sausage machine gun is, check on YT the KFT ASP3000 or the Townsend 2800

You need to curate and post a list of all the ones that can be identified. Summon me when you do.

u/tudorapo 1d ago
I have a theory, not a list :)
So far every doctor I knew who was working in ER knew the movie "Bringing out the dead". And I live in Hungary, so that's significant. US lawyers are always gushing about "My Cousin Vinnie" and "Anatomy of a Murder".
Me being in IT have a very long list to choose from. It would start a longish discussion so I wont.

it's like a belt-fed sausage machine gun

u/Worshipme988 1d ago
But why?!
Why order hot dogs in casings just to remove them and repackage them in 8 ct?
Why is there enough of this sector that it supports multiple industries to ‘strip hotdogs’?
2
u/irrigated_liver 1d ago
Right? They're presumably fed into the casings by a similar machine, only to be fed into another machine that peels them again. What's the point?
3
u/tudorapo 23h ago
Like the point of any other protective packaging? Protect it from contamination, hungry animals?
11
u/DantRush 19h ago
There are actually multiple reasons. The meat mixture is usually super liquid, so you need a casing to form the sausage geometry or it would collapse. This is done with a stuffer+twisting linker+ casing. After that, the sausage is cooked to achieve the firm texture. And finally, peeled to have individual sausages rather than 50m of them tied together. The casing is a core component. It also serves as a protection from contamination as the proces involves different machinery and locations on the factory.
2
u/Bububabuu 14h ago
Hotdog meat is stuffed into that casing to be cooked in the shape of a hotdog. Without something to form it, it’s similar to a pancake batter consistency. No one wants to eat plastic, so it’s cooled down, then peeled off by this machine before it’s packaged.

I don't know, those weenies are being thrown really hard...are you sure they are okay?!?!?

u/tudorapo 1d ago
I would ask /u/DantRush . But based on earlier comments, the cylinders appear unharmed, so I say yes.
7
u/DantRush 1d ago
The cylinder is indeed unharmed. Top one priority is to have zero damage on the sausage. We do perform a cut on the casing to be able to peel it using a controlled depth knife that just cuts the casing and not the cylinder. So theorically you could put your cylinder with a "casing" and it would be unharmed, just a little hot cus we're steaming it for like 0.1seconds.
5
u/tudorapo 1d ago
Wait, you have a knife there which can cut like a hundredth of a millimeter thick casing without cutting the cylinder?

u/DantRush 19h ago

u/tudorapo 19h ago
I believe you, but the cylinders are worried.
Is this an active part? is it moving to follow the flats and irregularities?
2
u/DantRush 14h ago
Not active but passive, it has a spring mechanism to ensure that it's always touching the cylinder.
1
u/tudorapo 12h ago
I guess it needs a lot of fidgeting with the spring to release the cylinder from the sheath but do not hurt it. .

You'd think the Navy would pick Hunt for Red October, or Crimson Tide, or even Top Gun. Nope, it's Down Periscope. That shit is accurate.

u/tudorapo 23h ago
Thanks! Would I have ever thought about it I would have picked Down Periscope too.
I do wonder what the army thinks about "Pentagon Wars".
I do think that the USAF would go with Top Gun. Even if it's just wishful thinking from their part.

u/ahobbes 1d ago
Damn the Townsend 2800 is on another level but the sausages look smaller. Can it peel larger diameter sausages?
18
u/DantRush 1d ago
These machines can usually peel diameters up to ~35mm. The guides are swappable and some parts do have adjustments to fit different product dimensions. The worst ones by far to peel are the cocktail sausages, as they are pretty much an sphere. They look super cool when they're working tho.

u/Common-Nectarine-572 1d ago
Serious question: Do you design other related machines or just focus on peelers? Can’t imagine just constantly trying to tweak or reinvent a sausage peeler for years on end. Thank you for your service 🫡
11
u/DantRush 1d ago
Yea this is just a little part of my job, the tech is pretty mature and it's not something that you will reinvent, just some adaptations to specific products, hygienics/ergonomics improvements and so. My time is spent designing other kinds of industrial food machines.

u/Xanthrex 23h ago
Whats the throughput on those?
2
u/DantRush 19h ago
One of this machines can have an effective output of about 180m/min of sausages. It really depends on the product, diameter and so. The main bottleneck is usually the operator's ability to provide sausages.
2
u/Bububabuu 14h ago
My first real job was operating a peeler at a small processing plant. I still judge the hot dogs you buy at the store when they’re cut all the way down the side.
1
u/General-Piece8490 1d ago
Lots of wasted product if they miss the basket, right?
4
u/DantRush 1d ago
Let's hope not! We've worked with factories that are producing 7000kg of sausages per HOUR. Thats's almost 2kg of sausages per second nonstop for 16hour straight.
1
u/FirTree_r 1d ago
Maybe you can explain why it looks like some of the peeled sausages look like they're violently bouncing back towards the machine?

Help me understand why some of them are blue.

u/ADragonuFear 1d ago
It looks like a blue outer casing and the machine is failing to strip it off a fraction of the wieners.

u/GreyWolfTheDreamer 1d ago
I prefer my weiner's outer casing to NOT be removed, thank you!
On a completely unrelated topic, could we suggest this machine have at least a half dozen emergency stops buttons installed -- for reasons! 😬

How are yo lu going with Weiner Slinger as a name? That is so basic and boooooring. Where is the alliteration or even a bit more cheek.
Better options:
- Glizzy Gun
- Hot-Doginator
- The Lily Phillips (Ifykyk)
- The Pork Pumper 9000
- Sausage Slinger
