Russia Builds Its First Sausage-Packing Robot — and It’s Fast
Engineers in the Orenburg region have developed the country’s first fully automated sausage-packing robot, capable of replacing a dozen workers on the production line.
In Russia’s Orenburg region, engineers have created the RUS-600, the nation’s first serially produced robotic sausage stacker — a high-speed machine that could mark a turning point for automation in the country’s food industry.
The robot is designed to load sausages directly into packaging machines, eliminating one of the last manual steps in the process. Built from stainless steel to meet strict hygiene standards, it’s easy to clean and maintain. The system also features air-extraction and noise-reduction modules, making it more efficient and worker-friendly.
1,170 Sausages a Minute
The RUS-600 can handle 1,170 sausages per minute, roughly equivalent to the output of 12 human workers. Globally, only two other companies manufacture equipment in this class, highlighting the significance of the Orenburg design.
Developed by engineers at OZAR, the region’s new automation and robotics plant, the machine integrates seamlessly with existing packaging lines to increase production speed and consistency.
The launch of the RUS-600 not only boosts domestic automation but also offers an import-free alternative to Western industrial robotics — and, perhaps, the most efficient sausage packer on the planet.
