Abstract
An extrusion attachment for sausage making machines have three connection concentric tubes with the inner tube defining a first passageway, the space between the inner restrictor and intermediate second tubes comprising a second first passageway, and the space between the outer third tube and the intermediate second tube defining a third second passageway. The diameter of the inner restrictor tube is small so that meat emulsion passing into the inner restrictor tube is subjected to a higher pressure than that of the pressure in the second first passageway. The lower pressure meat material in the second first passageway is thinly coated on the strand of the high pressure meat material extruded from the inner restrictor tube. A thin layer of collagen material is extruded from the third second passageway for deposit on the outer surface of the meat layer extruded from the second first passageway.
