<p>A method of stuffing natural casings with emulsion involves slidably mounting a collar element (28) on the stuffing tube (14) of the machine adjacent an end of the stuffing tube opposite to the discharge end (14A) thereof. The collar is slidably advanced towards the discharge end of the tube to telescope the casing into a shirred condition (A) while leaving a non-shirred (8) portion downstream thereof. The non-shirred portion of the casing (32) is progressively advanced while the casing is filled with emulsion from the tube. A sensor (24) is placed in the proximity of the non-shshirred portion of the casing to detect whether shirred or non-shirred casing is present. The sensor is connected to a controller (26) so that the collar will be advanced to slide the casing material on the tube when the non-shirred casing is detected, and the advance of the collar is stopped when shirred casing material is detected.</p> |
