A whole boneless ham is stuffed under continuous pressure into a preclipped end of a length of casing deshirred from a continuous shirred casing length while providing for the continuous venting of air from the interior of the casing length, the stuffed casing length being then closed by a clip. The ham is placed in a chamber 34, a lid 42 is closed, a piston is operated to compress the ham laterally and a piston 54 is advanced to force the ham into a tube 30 and the central part of the piston then continues to advance to push the ham right through the tube, into the casing as in U.S. Specification 4044426. Air escapes through holes 62 and between the shirred casing and its support. Rings 26, 28 hold back the casing from slipping forwardly as in U.S. Specification 4077090. |
