Abstract
A casing brake construction in combination with a product discharge horn includes three generally parallel mounting plates with one of the plates holding the skin brake and the other two plates connected with the first plate and moveable relative to one another in an axial direction with respect to the product discharge horn to thereby position the horn in any one of three positions. The casing brake moves between a clipping and a rearward position with respect to the discharge horn and then moves over the end of the horn to remove excess product from the horn in order to enhance the aesthetics of the product.
