Sausage Stuffer Nozzle Adapter

thingiverse

This adapter allows you to use your Lem Jerky Gun nozzles on your Lem or Cabellas 5lb sausage stuffer. In the second photo, notice the difference in size between the flanges of the stuffer tubes. The plastic tube on the left came with the 5lb Sausage Stuffer, while the stainless steel tube on the right is an aftermarket stuffer tube purchased at Bass Pro Shops. The Lem and Cabellas 5lb Sausage Stuffers use a nozzle with a 1.5inch flange, but the Lem Jerky Gun uses nozzles with a 2.25inch flange. I wanted to utilize the additional nozzles for the Jerky Gun on my 5lb Sausage Stuffer, specifically the long tube half-inch (12mm) diameter nozzle purchased at Bass Pro Shops for filling 17mm collagen Snack Stick casings also from Bass Pro Shops. The half-inch stuffing tube has a 2 1/8" flange and works well on the Jerky Gun, but it's too large for use on the 5lb sausage stuffer. So, I built this adapter to enable using larger flange stuffer tubes along with the holding collar from the Jerky Gun on the 5lb unit. Simply screw this adapter onto the threaded output pipe of the 5lb Sausage Stuffer as shown in photo #3. Photo #1 shows the 5lb Sausage Stuffer with the 12mm stuffer tube and using the holding collar from the Jerky Gun.
