Abstract
Apparatus and methods for stuffing food casing to produce sausage products with a high degree of dimensional uniformity for prepackaging applications. Substantially flat terminal end portions for higher product yields are prepared by a stuffing sequence which includes application of end-closure clips while regulating the interval for releasing unfilled casing. The delay sequence in the release of unfilled casing from the stuffing horn is directly proportional to the viscosity of the meat emulsion at the time of stuffing.
