So yesterday I was stuffing 21mm casings. I had 20# to do for snack sticks. The right side at the same spot would pop the gasket up and start squeezing a ribbon of meat while I was stuffing. I would pull the head back up and clean it good with paper towels and get everything out. Then clean the gasket and put it back on. Then it would pop again, in the exact same spot. I wiped the meat away and I could see the gasket poking up.
I know the gasket can't be going bad in the same spot each time as it is being moved around each time cleaned. The side wall and the head do not show any problems that I can see. I tired going slower and it seemed to be better, but I never had this happen before. Any ideas on why? Too much pressure? Gasket getting spretchy?
I have made some snack sticks but not alot. I made 20# last month and no problems. Did 20# of bologna the day before and no issues.
