Edible collagen casings and film
Edible collagen casings are a naturally occurring material that is practically sterile and is made by extraction from the skins of cattle. Available in straight versions in sizes ranging from 13mm to 45mm, or curved versions in sizes ranging from 20mm to 45mm
The casings are ready to use (no soaking required), already shirred into a stick in various lengths to meet the customer’s specific needs (such as the number of pieces or the final weight determined by the length of the stick).
It meets all legal standards for foodstuffs.
They are ideal for manufacturers of fresh sausage (such as “luganiga”) frankfurter sausages, mini salamis and meat snacks.
These casings offer the following benefits:
- optimum adaptation to the use of machinery (the finished product is always consistent in terms of its diameter and firmness)
- superior productivity and profitability (less downtime; increased filling and production speed compared to natural casings)
- lower labour costs (fewer manual workers required)
- optimum presentation of the finished product thanks to the uniformity of the casing
