Abstract (en)

An apparatus for wrapping products and especially but not exclusively for wrapping meat products in tubular stocking mesh or netting for sale presentation and cooking purposes has a peripherally self-adjusting tunnel (10) over one end of which is adapted to be fitted the tubular stocking mesh (30) or netting while the meat product is fed along the tunnel from the other end into the tubular stocking mesh or netting. With this apparatus, the tunnel cross-sectional area automatically adjusts to the cross-sectional area of the meat product while simultaneously peripherally adjusting the tubular stocking mesh or netting which is stripped off the tunnel by the meat product leaving the latter and being forced into the tubular stocking mesh or netting. It has been found that the tubular stocking mesh or netting is uniformally stretched peripherally and axially of the meat product thus providing a visually attractive packaging around the meat product.
