Zusammenfassung:	A sausage manufacturing apparatus (10) includes an extrusion head (16), a feed pipe (18) for feeding a sausage filler composition to the extrusion head, a casing feed system (20) for feeding a sausage casing paste composition to the extrusion head and a setting agent feed system for feeding a setting agent to the sausage composition after extrusion by the extrusion head, for homogenising the sausage paste composition so as to form a circumfused casing layer surrounding the filler composition. The casing feed system includes a cartridge (23) comprising a deformable tubular body (24) holding the sausage casing paste composition and a nozzle (28), a pipe leading from the nozzle to the extrusion head, and a caulking device (22) for dispensing the sausage casing paste composition from the cartridge by exerting a force on the tubular body so as to deform the tubular body and extrude the sausage casing paste composition through the nozzle.
