A stuffing horn turret machine has a stuffing horn receiving turret rotatably and translationally mounted on a frame. A rotary drive, a translational drive, limit position sensors, and a controller of logic elements cause the turret to rotate and translate the horns to and from active and standby positions. Cleaning and repair of the machine is facilitated by pivotable mounting of the machine, removable turret bearings, and many other important features.

Stuffing horn turret machine

A sausage stuffing machine includes a cylindrical sausage discharge tube which dispenses sausage material into shirred casing stored on the tube. A clipper is positioned adjacent the end of the tube for sealing the filled casing at desired intervals. A casing brake mechanism is provided at the discharge end of the tube and includes an axially translatable ring which fits over the flared end of the tube to engage the shirred casing.

Clipping apparatus

An improved U-shaped clip of uniform cross section for attachment as a closure includes opposed legs and a connecting crown. The improvement particularly relates to the inverted T-shaped cross sectional shape of the clip.
