Casings for cooked and roasted sausages
Hams and roasts with steam or oven cooking, hand- or mesh-bound with unique flavours and aromas and ideal for low-calorie diets, require delicate edible materials that coat without altering the characteristics of your product in any way.
Emulsions (lyoner and the like, mortadella ovaline) with delicate flavours require tough, highly containable casings for high speed production and designed to withstand high temperature cooking (e.g. sterilisation and pasteurisation).
Our solutions for
Cooked and roasted sausages
Edible collagen Film
Edible collagen film is a very thin layer of collagen supplied in rolls of various lengths or in sheets pre-cut to size.
Collagen film can be used:
- with hand-operated , manual applicator systems
- with an automated applicator for faster manufacturing (can be used with any continuous filling machine)
- with standard press-filling machines available on the market
- with press-filling machines for collagen
The film is available in two colours:
- neutral (standard) for traditional products (hams and roast meats packed in netting, including stuffed products, smoked meat and game, and “bresaola”)
- coloured, for use when the colour of the finished product needs to be modified or intensified.
This offers the following benefits:
- the netting can be taken off the product readily and rapidly (no waste, tearing or time wasted)
- less product weight loss (retaining more succulence)
- excellent product presentation (uniform colour and size)
Tubular collagen casing (EDIBLE)
This thin collagen film is supplied in a world-exclusive tubular format, pre-shirred and ready for use.
It is used for raw or cooked products, packed innetting or tied, and is special because it dissolves completely when heated (cooked) or binds completely to the meat in the case of raw products.
It meets all legal standards for foodstuffs.
Special single-layer tubular casings
Polyamide materials that are totally impermeable to smoke and steam. Generally used for products demanding a cylindrical shape or other format (using special moulds in the latter case), such as: . . .
- in the meat industry: cooked products that do not require smoking (“Lyoner” sausage and variations, pâté, ham cooked in moulds and regenerated, and mortadella)
- for stretched processed cheeses
- for the production of organic and wholemeal food products
- for semi-processed food products, and when a specific product shape is required in general (sliced cooked sausages, meat or other stuffing for pasta manufacturers, processed cheese, stuffing for pasta, maize polenta, gnocchi alla romana, lard etc)
- for industrial use in-house (when the tubular casing is used during production before being removed).
Special multilayer tubular casings
Casings made from special polymers (three or five layers) made up into a permeable or impermeable tubular format. Special tubular casings are available for smoking.
Available in size 50 to size 120, coloured, shirred, clipped or tied to size, in rolls or skeins, with the option of printing in up to 6 colours.
They differ to single layer tubular casings on account of the following specifications:
- shrinking capacity
- superior mechanical resistance and optimum adaptation to the use of machinery
- no weight loss
- maximum conservation of the product even without vacuum packing with the special opaque version
- can be sterilized
- casing peels away perfectly
- glossy casing
They meet all European legal standards for materials coming into contact with foodstuffs.
Textile casings
Materials made using a textile base and an acrylic coating, in a cylindrical shape, available in sizes ranging from 43mm to 120mm in various lengths and shapes
The standard range of colours includes cream, yellow, brown, black and “mottled” prints. Other colours are available on request. The casing can be printed (including logos) in up to 6 colours with excellent results.
Casings printed with special subjects are always in stock, such as Christmas, Halloween, and Easter. Excellent for raw or cooked products.
It meets all legal standards for foodstuffs.
