Apparatus for filling sausage casings with sausage filler. Sausage filler is fed through an outlet into one of a plurality of elongate nozzle members mounted with their axes parallel. The nozzles are moveable in a circular path to position the inlet of each nozzle sequentially in alignment with the outlet. A casing sealing device for sealing an open end of a casing is moveable longitudinally of a nozzle between a first position towards the inlet end of a nozzle and a second position away from the inlet end. An abutment is provided on the sealing device to urge the nozzle inlet against the outlet when the casing sealing device is moved into the first position. A sausage casing is placed over a nozzle and the nozzle is then rotated into position in alignment with the outlet. The sealing device is moved into the first position and the casing is filled by moving sausage filler from the outlet through the nozzle and into the casing. During the filling operation, the nozzle is urged against the outlet to maintain a seal between the outlet and nozzle inlet. After the sausage casing is filled, the sealing device is moved to the second position out of the way of the nozzles and a second nozzle, previously provided with a casing, is moved into alignment with the outlet for filling the second casing. |
