LARGE ENCASED MEAT PRODUCT WITH FLAT ENDS

摘要

A joining system for flat end discs (15, 16) is used in an elongated encased food product (71). The food casing (77) is joined to the flat end discs (75, 161) permitting food stuffing of the casing. An adhesive joining (89), a clamping joining (113), a tension band joining (125, 127) or a piercing joining (163) takes place in an area external to and within the peripheral boundaries of the flat end discs (75, 161). The axial outward force of the food product on the discs is thus coupled to the axial tension of the casing joined to the discs (75, 161).
