Abstract
This relates to an apparatus for treating a separated strand of shirred casing. The strand is fed along a mandrel and a stop member is positioned transversely of the mandrel adjacent a free end thereof, after which the trailing end of the strand is engaged by a shaping device which, as it advances toward the stop to compress the strand, is oscillated or rotated also to dress the trailing end of the strand. When the stop is opened, the same member is used to doff the strand from the mandrel.
