A machine for the production of tubular casings of alimentary dough includes a support structure carrying a continuous belt conveyor with an associated feed conveyor unit for feeding a continuous sheet of dough to the said conveyor. A punching device is provided above the conveyor for successively cutting out a series of spaced-apart pieces of dough from the said sheet, the part of the dough sheet remaining after cutting being taken up from the conveyor by a recovery elevator. Downstream of the recovery elevator, a dispensing unit operates to deposit cylindrical support cores on the conveyor between successive pieces of dough, the dough piece and cores being thereafter transported by the conveyor to a rolling-up unit where the pieces of dough are rolled up around the cylindrical support cores. A collecting conveyor unit receives the support cores, with the pieces of dough rolled therearound, from the rolling-up unit.
