Disclosed is a calibrating device for expanding and controlling the draw-off speed of a shirred tubular casing 4a from the stuffing horn 1 of a stuffing machine during the filling thereof. This device comprises a hollow calibrating pipe 2 having a central bore therethrough for mounting on the stuffing horn 1 of a stuffing machine, and an enlarged circumference 8 at one end thereof which applies a frictional force to the tubular casing 4 as the casing is drawn over the pipe during filling. At least the enlarged end 8 of the pipe 2, moreover, is made of a resilient material to provide this area with a variable circumference to eliminate damage to the casing due to variations in the size thereof. Means 3 are also provided for adjusting the effective circumference of the enlarged end 8 of the pipe 2.

A calibrating device for use with a stuffing machine having a stuffing horn for uniformly controlling the filling of a shirred tubular casing with a food composition flowing under pressure from said stuffing horn, comprising a hollow calibrating pipe having a central bore therethrough for mounting said calibrating pipe on said stuffing horn, and having an enlarged circumference at one end thereof which stretches said casing and applies a frictional force thereto as said casing is drawn over said calibrating pipe during the filling of said casing, at least that portion of said calibrating pipe having said enlarged circumference being formed of a resilient material, wherein said calibrating pipe is of a length sufficient to carry an entire length of shirred tubular casing, said calibrating device further comprising means for securing said casing to said calibrating pipe at the end thereof opposite said enlarged end, wherein said calibrating pipe has depressions therein at the end opposite said enlarged end, and said means for securing said casing to said pipe comprises a ring having projections which engage the depressions in said pipe to secure said casing thereon.
