A device for separating sausages from a string of sausages, in which the sausages are connected by a twisted section comprising at least one clip. One example of an electrochemical motive device is a pump having one pump chamber, and pump member that forces a pumping fluid through the chamber. The synchronized MMF and the secure affirmation track can be saved as separate but parallel media files in user defined media playlists, for parallel playback on analog or digital devices. In this design, when the drive unit is in the operating position, the cutting andor stirring unit is arranged in the lower section of the mixing space in such a way that food located in the mixing container is fed to the cutting andor stirring unit on account of gravity. The semiconductor device has an improved coupling coefficient, and reduced leakage current.
