Abstract
Improved components of a shirring machine including two longitudinally spaced supports and a removable mandrel alternatingly supported thereby. Each support includes a mandrel engaging clamp and means for separately supplying two fluids to the mandrel. The mandrel is provided with two pairs of inlets spaced longitudinally thereof in accordance with the spacing of the supports and cooperable with the supports to independently receive from each of the supports the two separate fluids whereby the mandrel may be alternatingly supported by the supports with the fluids being continuously supplied to the mandrel so that a strand of shirred casing may pass along the entire length of the mandrel without interrupting the fluid flows.
