FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention is intended for usage in food industry, in particular, for separation and clamping of a sleeve-shaped package filled with material being packed. The clip applier is intended for separation and closure of a tubular packaging casing containing a filler material such as sausage mince. The clip applier contains at least one first and at least one second pair (30, 35) of displacing elements positioned axially one after another relative to the package axis (A). Each pair (30, 35) contains an upper and a lower displacing elements (32, 34, 36, 38). Each pair (30, 35) of displacing elements is capable of linear reversive motion within the first and the second planes from the opened position, wherein the displacing elements (32, 34, 36, 38) are maximally distanced from each other, into the second position wherein the displacing elements (32, 34, 36, 38) are at the minimum distance from each other. The first linear guide(40) contains at least one first and at least one second guiding rods (55, 65) for guiding two pairs of displacing elements (30, 35) within the first and the second planes during their linear movement from the opened position into the closed one. The first and the second guiding rods (55, 65) are positioned within a plane that is parallel to the first and the second planes of the first and the second pairs of displacing elements (30, 35).

EFFECT: ensuring reduction of the space occupant, convenient accommodation on auxiliary equipment.
