1. A pressing device for pressing meat products, comprising:
a pressing chamber that extends along a longitudinal axis and into which a product to be pressed can be inserted,
wherein the pressing chamber comprises at least one counter-element and at least one contact element,
wherein the at least one contact element is movable in a direction of the at least one counter-element,
wherein the at least one contact element and the at least one counter-element cooperate such that the product inserted into the pressing chamber can be compressed between the at least one counter-element and the at least one contact element; and
at least one servomotor that is configured to move the at least one contact element,
wherein the pressing chamber has a support surface which is substantially oriented in a horizontal plane and on which the product is disposed when inserted into the pressing chamber, wherein the at least one servomotor is arranged beneath the support surface.
