Barrier casing for frankfurters and wieners

• Can be used for production of all kinds of standard cooked frankfurters, hot dogs, wieners and mini sausages.

Advantages:

• The high mechanical strength of the casing makes it possible to mold chubs not only by manual tying, but also by using various types of equipment to achieve a high rate of production and overfilling relative to the nominal caliber. The caliber consistency in the casings provides for stable filling on frankfurter lines and stuffer linkers.
• High barrier properties. The oxygen and water vapor transmission rate of the casing is much lower than that of collagen and cellulose casings, which provides for the following advantages:
  
  • minimum losses during the thermal processing (0 – 1%) and storage of frankfurters and wieners;
  • excellent selling appearance of the finished products (no wrinkles) throughout the shelf life.
    
• The high heat resistance of the polymers used to make the  casings significantly extends the utilization temperature range of the casing in comparison with collagen and cellulose casings. The casing is stable at high temperatures.
  
• Microbiological resistance. The polymers used for production of the casings are impervious to bacteria and mold fungi. This improves the hygienic characteristics of both the casing itself, and the finished products.

Assortment:

• Easy peel variant by means of automatic peeler
• Standard with adhesive possibilities (not easy peel)
• A closed end in the shirred stick; the casing is designed for use on automatic equipment.
• Open end in the shirred stick; for manual tying and use on stuffers with twisting devices.
• Straight standard versions of the casing.
• Ring-shaped versions of the casing.
• High flexibility casing, which does not require pre-soaking.

Colors: transparent, white, red, orange, brown, yellow, blue, green and others.
Printing: The casing can be printed on one side or two sides. The number of printing colors is from 1+0 to 6+6. CMYK printing is optional.
Printing: the curved casings can be used only for:
>single-side printing with ‘face register’;
>double-side printing without register (i.e. when the artwork is background printing).
 
Calibers: 16 – 38 mm
