Abstract
A machine for stuffing natural casings with emulsion, the machine having an emulsion stuffing tube with a first end and a discharge end for extruding emulsion into a casing on an outer surface of the stuffing tube, the stuffing tube extending through a twisting mechanism proximate the discharge end; and a follower having an insert with a central bore that slidably receives the stuffing tube wherein the insert has an outer surface and a receiving chamber with a diameter less than a diameter of the outer surface.

A machine for stuffing natural casings with emulsion comprising:
- an emulsion stuffing tube on the machine having a first end and a discharge end for extruding emulsion into a casing on an outer surface of the stuffing tube, the stuffing tube extending through a twisting mechanism proximate the discharge end;
- a follower having an insert with a central bore that slidably receives the stuffing tube;
- the insert having an outer surface and a receiving chamber with a diameter less than a diameter of the outer surface;
- and
- wherein the outer surface of the insert forms an annular shoulder for engaging and pushing the casing.
A machine for stuffing natural casings with emulsion comprising:
- an emulsion stuffing tube on the machine having a first end and a discharge end for extruding emulsion into a casing on an outer surface of the stuffing tube, the stuffing tube extending through a twisting mechanism proximate the discharge end;
- an insert disposed within a chuck of the twisting mechanism having an outer surface and a receiving chamber with a diameter less than a diameter of the outer surface;
- and
- a sensor adjacent the twisting mechanism and a port adjacent the sensor for directing a stream of air over the sensor.
