Abstract
A method and apparatus for stuffing food product into shirred casing having an important application in the stuffing of large muscle groups such as whole boned hams. A demountable stuffing horn carries its own supply of shirred casing compressed in place at a high packing efficiency. Means are provided for readily and efficiently dismounting a horn from the stuffing machine when its casing supply is expended and mounting a replacement with a new supply in its place. Internal holdback means on the horn, manipulated through the casing by an external control device on the machine, provide a wide range of casing holdback force.
