RKS 85 & RHS 230 - Sausage Calibration and Hanging System
About the product
The RKS 85 and RHS 230 are REX systems for automated sizing and hanging of sausages after filling and linking. The RKS 85 ensures consistent product diameter, length, and weight, while the RHS 230 automatically receives the finished sausage string and places it on hooks for subsequent removal with smoking sticks. The equipment is suitable for natural and artificial casings and can be integrated with REX vacuum fillers of the RVF 400, 700, and 900 series.

Precise product calibration

RKS 85 is designed for precise calibration of sausages and sausages in natural and artificial casings. After filling and twisting, the product flows directly onto the system's two belt conveyors.
Conveyors are adjustable in height and adjusted to the diameter of the product. During the process of passing through the RKS, the shell is calibrated to a given diameter, which allows you to obtain products of the same length and the most stable weight.
Gentle handling of the shell
The design of the RKS 85 optimizes the linking process and reduces the risk of sheath rupture. This is especially important when working with natural casings, where differences in diameter and structure can affect the quality of the finished product.
The system allows you to quickly switch from natural casings to artificial ones and back without lengthy reconfiguration of equipment.
Automatic speed adjustment
RKS 85 is equipped with servo drives. Their setting and control are carried out through the touch panel of the REX vacuum syringe.
The speed of the conveyors automatically adapts to the product and the specified portion size, thereby reducing the time when switching to another assortment.
Performance RKS 85
The system provides a capacity of up to 550 portions per minute.
Operating range:
- shell diameter — 13–50 mm;
- portion length — 25–600 mm;
- natural and artificial casings.
The current REX technical sheet also specifies a throughput of up to 550 portions/min, a range of 13-50 mm and a portion length of 25-600 mm.
Automatic hanging RHS 230

After calibration, the sausage chain can be automatically transferred from the RKS 85 to the RHS 230.
The system receives the product and places it directly on the hooks. After filling the required area, the operator removes the product using a smoking stick.
RHS 230 can work either after the RKS 85 or be connected directly to the holder of the vacuum syringe shell.
Programmable product groups
RHS 230 is equipped with a servo drive, which is controlled via the touch screen of the vacuum syringe.
Depending on the length of the product, the operator can specify different hanging patterns and the number of hooks for individual production programs. This allows you to quickly change the assortment without lengthy mechanical reconfiguration.
Adjustable design
The height of the RHS 230 is adjustable to suit the location of the vacuum filler or the RKS 85 system.
The system is standardly equipped with 120 hooks, and their number and location can be changed depending on the product. The height of the hooks is 100 cmand a larger version is available as an option.
Hygienic design
Both systems are designed for use in food production. The design provides easy access to work areas and quick sanitization.
Control through the sensor system of the vacuum syringe allows you to combine the processes of filling, twisting, calibration and hanging into a single technological process.
RHS 230 Hanging System for RKS 85
Allows you to continue the automatic process after calibration and transfer sausages directly to the hooks.
DHG 400 Casing Holder
Used for the RKS 85 and allows for direct product transfer after linking.
RHS 230 Extended Hook Height
Available as an optional extra to adapt the system to specific products or production line organization.
Adjustable Hook Configuration
The RHS 230 is equipped with 120 hooks; the position and number of hooks can be changed depending on the product length and the selected production program.
Integration with REX vacuum fillers
The systems are designed to create a single filling line, twisting, calibration and hanging of products.
