A holding device for a stuffing machine for stuffing sausages, having a head provided with a casing brake, and a drive shaft through which the casing brake can be driven, the casing brake enclosing the free end of a filling tube of the stuffing machine at an operating position and exposing the free end of the filling tube by pivoting the head away at a sausage casing pull-on position. When the head is being moved from the operating position to the sausage casing pull-on position, the drive shaft is deflected at an angle &#x3b1; relative to the longitudinal axis of the holding device without decoupling of the power train.

Holding device

A casing brake and method of adjusting the casing brake, to allow the casing brake to be adjusted by hand, without making use of any tools, and to guarantee simultaneously that the casing brake cannot be displaced during operation. The casing brake includes a brake ring, inner and outer shells between which the brake ring is tensioned, and a locking element provided between said inner and outer shells, the locking element connected to said inner or outer shell and establishing a positive or a frictional connection with the respective other shell at a locked position, and further having an actuating device for eliminating the positive or the frictional connection.

Casing brake and method of adjusting the same

A casing brake for holding a casing at a free end of a stuffing pipe, via which the casing is stuffed with a pasty material, and to a method for adjusting the brake power of a casing brake. To adjust an exact brake power, the casing brake has a brake ring which is arranged around the stuffing pipe and can be prestressed axially and/or radially in such a way that it presses the casing onto the stuffing pipe, straining means for axially and/or radially straining the brake ring, as well as an adjusting device exerting a force on the straining means such that the axial and/or radial prestress of the brake ring is adjustable and maintained during the production.
