Apparatus for simultaneously placing a collogen film from a flat sheet of collogen film about the outside circumference of a product and placing netting about the outside circumference of the product. In one aspect, the apparatus comprises a base, a manifold assembly, a center product discharge tube, a collogen forming collar, a discharge horn and a netting support cylinder. Additionally, the apparatus may comprise a netting derucker, a discharge conveyor a product end clipper and other components and elements. The manifold assembly is mounted to the base, and the center product discharge tube extends from the manifold assembly. The collogen forming collar forms the flat sheet into a cylindrical shape, is concentric with the discharge tube and is mounted in association with the discharge tube. The discharge horn extends along a portion of the discharge tube away from the manifold assembly and is mounted in association with the discharge tube. The netting support cylinder is concentric with and outside the discharge tube and discharge horn, and is mounted in association with the discharge tube and discharge horn. The netting support cylinder and discharge horn, away from the manifold assembly, terminate substantially coterminally. Product material flows through the manifold assembly and product discharge tube and collogen film and netting is simultaneously placed about the product as product material exits the product discharge tube.
