<p>A filling tube assembly for being mounted to a clipping machine for producing sausage-shaped products. The filling tube assembly comprises a mounting unit (54) for mounting the filling tube assembly to the clipping machine and a filling tube (12) for feeding flowable filling material into the packaging casing. The packaging casing is being consumably arranged on the filling tube. The filling tube is pivotable relative to the mounting unit at least between a production position (P) and an interchanging position. The filling tube assembly further comprises a casing brake unit (22), a casing brake holder (28) and a casing brake for being reversibly coupled to the casing brake holder. The casing brake is moveable between a braking position and a releasing position by a pivoting and translational action. In the releasing position, the casing brake is pivoted away from the filling tube, so that unfilled packaging casing can be loaded onto the filling tube.</p> |
