Abstract
A stuffing horn turret machine has a stuffing horn receiving turret rotatably and translationally mounted on a frame. A rotary drive, a translational drive, limit position sensors, and a controller of logic elements cause the turret to rotate and translate the horns to and from active and standby positions. Cleaning and repair of the machine is facilitated by pivotable mounting of the machine, removable turret bearings, and many other important features.
