摘要：

An apparatus for manufacturing chain-like food products such as sausages or the like includes a stuffing nozzle over which a natural intestine is fitted and a pinching device for pinching and conveying a stuffed natural intestine in the forward direction of the stuffing nozzle. A stuffing material is discharged from a distal end of the stuffing nozzle into a straightened natural intestine portion of the natural intestine to form a stuffed natural intestine portion. The stuffed natural intestine portion is nipped, and is pulled. The stuffed natural intestine portion being rotated and moved is pinched to form a twist. The discharge of the stuffing material into the straightened natural intestine portion is effected while the stuffed natural intestine portion and the straightened natural intestine portion are being moved.
