Abstract
Improvements in a Chub packaging machine wherein paris of clips are applied to voided constricted lenghts of the filled tubing and then such lengths are severed mid-way between each pair of clips. In one improvement the severing knife operates within a composite or dual gathering plate allowing the spacing between the clips in each pair to be appreciably closer than is conventional, thereby reducing wastage of film and product adhering thereto and producing Chub packages with shorter tails or stubs at their opposite ends.
