A sanitary nozzle mount for use with a filling apparatus for flowing food product includes elongated, hollow, slidably engageable inner and outer filling tubes and a spacer coupling adapted to secure the inner and outer tubes in axially spaced relation with one another. The tubes are adapted to secure therebetween a removable filling nozzle having a mounting portion having a generally circular cross-section and including an inwardly extending, circumferential mounting ring. The inner and outer filling tubes each include a mounting element extending outwardly therefrom, configured for engagement with the spacer coupling. The inner filling tube has a length dimension greater than the length dimension of the outer filling tube. The inner tube includes a nozzle receiving end which has a circumferential locking element and a guide element which are adapted to engage the nozzle mounting ring therebetween. The coupling is positionable between the inner and outer filling tube mounting elements, and the nozzle mounting ring is positionable between the inner filling tube locking element and guide element to position the outer filling tube in overlapping engagement with the filling nozzle and to secure the nozzle between the filling tubes. |
