A gut casing holding nozzle includes a rotating fill tube 1 with a gut casing holding element 4 on its end. This is surrounded by a conical section 5, which is mounted in a mounting 8. Between the conical section 5 and the gut casing holding element 4 there is an annular slot for th gut casing to pass through. The conical section 5 is attached to the mounting 8 with radial and axial play, with the mounting 8 able to rotate. Two anchoring pins 13 attached to the mounting 8 are inserted into cavities 14 in the conical section 5, so as to cause that piece to rotate along with the mounting. In so doing automatic centering of the conical section 5 as compared to the fill tube 1 is guaranteed. Even out-of-round conditions in the fill tube or variations in gut casing wall thicknesses are compensated for automatically. The gut casing holding device is suited for high speed work conditions.
