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 advanced and retracted together with the support and adapted to hold the end of the shirred casing opposite the nozzle by pressing the casing from within, a drive unit which operates through the support for advancing the clamping unit toward the nozzle and for retracting the clamping unit after the shirred casing is connected to the nozzle, a resisting body advanced and retracted with the support for resisting the folds in the wall of the shirred casing when the support is retracted, thereby to deshirr the shirred casing into a straight, tubular portion as relative movement is established between the casing and the resisting body, and a withdrawal mechanism for pulling the straight, linear portion of the casing backwardly. 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 encased meat mass.
