Abstract
A device comprising two coaxially superposed outer tubes, wherein the innermost, first outer tube is disposed on the stuffing horn of a stuffing device for stuffing tubular casings with a fluid mass such as a sausage mixture. One of the two outer tubes is longitudinally displaceable with respect to the other outer tube. Pivotable elements fastened by pivotable mountings to the second outer tube and by pivotable joints to a connecting arm serve to deshirr and smooth the initially shirred tubular casing. Further, the elements press the tubular casing against the inner surface of an annular stop cylinder and thereby retard the withdrawal of the tubular casing from the shirred portion. The inner diameter of the stop cylinder is preferably smaller than the outer diameter of the deshirred portion of the tubular casing. A system comprising the aforesaid device, a tubular casing, the stuffing horn of a stuffing device, tying or clip devices and a cutting device is also disclosed.
