Mixing Sausage Meat
First,
a quantity of rusk
(i.e. dehydrated
breadcrumbs) is emptied
into the chopper.
Next, a small bag of seasoning/binder
(pink in colour) is
sprinkled over the rusk.
Following this, ground
sausage meat
(consisting of pork and
fat) is added, and is
spread around the basin
of the chopper.

Then, a few litres of water
are added. This helps the rusk
and seasoning to absorb
better into the sausage meat.
Finally, the chopper is switched
on and the sausage meat is mixed
for a couple of minutes.

Transferring Sausage Meat Into The
Filler [top]
Once
the sausage meat has
been mixed to the
correct consistency, the
chopper is switched off.
Then, the mixed sausage
meat - weighing as much
as 70lbs
- is
carefully gathered by
hand and transferred to
the filler.

Linking Sausages [top]
Once
the filler has been
loaded with the mixed
sausage meat, the linker
is switched on.
Consequently, the
contents of the filler
are injected into empty sausage
skins, and
the linked sausages collected in a plastic
container. This machine
is capable of producing
nearly 100 sausages
per minute.

Packing Sausages

Once
the sausages are linked,
they are ready for sale
in our meat
counter.
In this video, however,
sausages are being
packed ready for
delivery to customers
such as hospitals.
