A clipping machine for producing sausage-shaped products (S), like sausages, by filing a flowable filling material into a tubular or bag-shaped packaging casing (M) and closing said packaging casing (M) by a closure means, like a closure clip (C). The clipping machine (1) comprises a feeding device (50) for suspension elements configured to feed suspension elements (E) attached to a carrier strip (B) to a delivery position and to place a first section of a suspension element (E) within the closure means (C) positioned on the die (25) of the second closing tool (24). The feeding device (50) further comprises a guiding device (51) configured to hold down the suspension element (E) close to the carrier strip (B) while the suspension element (E) is pulled off and detached from the carrier strip (B) by a relative movement between the second clipping tool (24) and the feeding device (50). A holding device (60) attached to the second clipping tool (24) is configured to releasably receive and hold a second section of the suspension element (E) when detached from the carrier strip (B).
