Abstract

See full text

Improved method and apparatus for preparing partially/slack filled food casings enables food processors to make loaf style meat and sausage products with substantially 'D' shaped cross sectional configurations with lower risk for casing rupture. By means of a casing slacker apparatus having a shutter/gate assembly mounted on an axially translatable carriage a predetermined length of additional unfilled casing is withdrawn from the filling horn after the filling cycle is completed. After completing the clip, cut and dump cycles the foodstuff is distrituted evenly throughout the casing and molded or shaped as desired.
