ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for delivering the end of a shirred casing to the nozzle of a meat packing system where the casing is connected to the nozzle to be stuffed with meat extruded from the nozzle includes a support for supporting the shirred casing from the inner side thereof, a clamping unit for holding the end of the shirred casing opposite the nozzle by pressing the casing from within, a drive unit for advancing the clamping unit toward the nozzle and for retracting the clamping unit after the shirred casing is connected to the nozzle, and a resisting body which offers resistance to the folds in the wall of the shirred casing when the clamping unit is advanced or retracted, thereby to unfold the shirred casing into a straight tubular portion as relative movement is established between the casing and the resisting body. The meat extruded by the nozzle is stuffed into the tubular portion of the casing, after which the packed meat mass is encased by closing off and fastening the casing at both ends of the meat mass.
