The packing of a tubular casing segment which has been shired together into a hollow cylindrical shirring formation occurs in a tubular net of such configuration that first, with the shirring accomplished with the aid of an abutment which is movable on the shirring tube, a certain initial segment of the tubular casing length is allowed to be left unshirred. Following termination of the shirring, the shirring tube is withdrawn with the abutment from the tubular shirring formation, and the unshirred tubular casing length segment is narrowed down or swaged and is sealed. Finally the sealed tubular casing length tip is inserted with force into the shirring and together with the shirring is thrust through a cylindrical carrier, in which a tubular net is recovered which is sealed to the tubular shirring. This is turned inside out with the thrusting through of the tubular shirring and surrounds this part along its entire length. Finally the tubular net with the tubular shirring incorporated therein is sealed at the other end at two points one after the other in sequence and is separated between said two points. With the further processing of the shirred formation this formation need only be irrigated and the opposite end of the packing need only be torn away, in order to be able to place the shirred formation on the stuffing horn and to be able to begin the filling immediately.

A method for packing a shirred tubular casing segment in a tubular net which packed segment is subsequently used with an automatic sausage-making machine comprising the steps of: thrusting an unshirred tubular casing with a shirring tool onto a shirring tube extending into an opened end of the tubular casing while air is conducted out of the shirring tube whereby the tubular casing is shirred about the shirring tube, said thrusting step including the step of initially thrusting an initial portion of the tubular casing over a first abutment provided on the shirring tube to a second abutment where the first abutment is configured to be slightly smaller than the opened tubular casing so that the initial portion is not shirred; separating the shirred tubular casing from the remaining unshirred tubular casing to form the shirred tubular casing segment; removing the shirring tube and first abutment from the shirred tubular casing and initial portion; sealing the initial portion to form a casing tip; pushing against the casing tip axially to initially push the casing top into the shirred tubular casing segment and then to push the shirred tubular casing segment through a cylindrical carrier to engage a sealed end of a tubular net which tubular net is drawn from around the cylindrical carrier and turned inside out in passing through the cylindrical casing to surround the shirred tubular casing segment pushed therethrough; sealing the tubular net at two points along the length thereof adjacent the casing tip; and separating the tubular net between the two points to separate the surrounded tubular casing segment from a remainder of the tubular net and from the sealed point of the remaining tubular net which subsequently engages the next shirred tubular casing segment.
