I'm sulking now...
...I get more of a laugh when I'm trying to be serious than I do when I attempt humour!

I'd probably mount a table on a runner below it, was thinking of the days of me doing 24 egg mixes through a caulk gun.

The bloke who showed me it was about 104, pumping his sausage like there was no tomorrow

Sorry…..I’m in bits here 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It may be my toilet humour, but when I read the bit about “using a wheeled roller /conveyor belt to support the sausage weight” I started to smile a bit.

By the time we got to “ if it were allowed to hang there then the more that got extruded the more the sausage would weigh” I was giggling.

However at “You could try and support it with one hand whilst extruding with the other, but that’s going to become awkward/ a pain” I totally lost it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

My bad, my toilet humour as I said. Thank God that a Curry and Boddingtons bitter is an alternative to a high fibre diet 🤣🤣

Never seen one of those before, at first glance looks like a good idea...

...however, if you were to try and use one of those, the extruded sausage would need to lay onto a wheeled roller/conveyor type effort to support the sausage weight.

If it were allowed to hang there then the more that got extruded the more the sausage would weigh. That would stretch the sausage making it thinner, so boilies would be correct size going down to slightly more misshaped.
You could try and support it with one hand whilst extruding with the other, but that's going to become awkward/a pain.

Anyone tried a wall mounted clay extruder? Was messing about with one recently and thought it would have been perfect for me when I was making my bait

Ah……One day I will tell the story about the little secret room I had in the cellar on an army base in Germany. A leaky bottle of N Butyric acid and the call out of a German gas company and the Fire Brigade and anti Terrorist measures once I’m sure I’m in the clear and no longer responsible for the bill

The original battery, from our original unit is finally now well on the wane. It's still working, but now only guns out three or four tubes before it needs charging again. It's deteriorated rapidly this winter. I've purposely abused this battery to see what they can take.

It's taken six years of constant use on this little battery to ruin it. If you are using them at home they will last you forever I'd bet, if you roll bait once every couple of weeks. Lithium deteriorates on total cycles charged. So they really should last you forever if you are not constantly recharging.

That's from the original grey topped cell, 2.0AH 20v. Same as in Baitmans photo.

At one point (back in 2010'ish) I had a couple of ladies that rolled some of my bait for me.

They had the ideal extruder. Well, at the time I thought it was the bees knees.
It wasn't the exact model below but worked exactly the same with the lever you lean you leg on in order to get the plunger moving up slowly.

So simple to use, retract plunger to bottom and pile a 10kg mix (probably more) straight in without mucking around shaping the paste to fit it into a tube.

That will make things easier I suppose you could incorperate a sausage stuffer. You probebaly already know, rollers for the sausage extrusion prevent bunching of the mix on extrusion, coupled with cat eye as mentioned, auto cutter, sloped table straight into roller

For your perusal, schematic of my sausage stuffer, 3ltr not 4ltr, there is gearing but it doesn't show much.

The gun will be mounted on a stand and operated with an electric linear actuator.

I am trying to design and build an electric automated extruder and cutter, pneumatic would be easier but I need a quieter setup than a compressor.

It's not going to be much fun holding a 11lb gun while extruding.

I used to make my own sausages and I have a 4ltr stainless jobby. They're designed to extrude wet sausage mix, as far as I can remember they have no gearing, the only leverage is the handle.
