Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a plastic film (i.e. preferably a thermoplastic film), particularly a (thermo)plastic food packing film, especially a detectable (thermo)plastic film, which plastic film comprises detectable particles incorporated therein, as well as to the plastic film thus produced and to its applications and usages (i.e. its use).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multilayer film, especially to a multilayer thermoplastic film, which may be used for food packaging, wherein the multilayer film according to the present invention may be provided, on its inner side, with a food additive, particularly with a flavoring and/or coloring and/or an aroma producing food additive (such as e.g. a liquid smoke), which food additive is then released and transferred onto the surface of a foodstuff encased in the multilayer film during cooking and/or processing of the foodstuff.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a cellulosic film (cellulose film), particularly a cellulosic food packing film, especially a detectable cellulosic film, which cellulosic film comprises detectable particles incorporated therein, as well as to the cellulosic film thus produced and to its applications and usages (i.e. its use).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flat, multilayered, low moisture, barrier, laminated thermoplastic film with an absorptive food contact layer coated with a flavoring and/or coloring agent, which can be formed on automatic stuffing machinery into a sealed tube in a continuous manner for use as a food casing. This film has an absorptive food contact layer, an oxygen barrier layer, and a polyethylene outer layer. The coloring and/or flavoring agent on the absorptive layer is released onto the surface of encased foodstuff during cooking and processing.

Abstract: A novel smokable thermoplastic film, smokable by both liquid smoke and gaseous smoke, that may be produced as a film or a tube, as in a food casing. This newly disclosed film is a blend of a polyamide base, an amorphous polyvinyl alcohol and, optionally, an antiblocking agent.

Abstract: Chucks for a meat encasing machine that increase the holdback force on plastic casing sticks resulting in fully formed initial links. The invention also includes a method for controlling the deshirr rate of shirred plastic casing sticks inserted in a meat encasing machine to generate fully formed initial sausage links.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing a plurality of bi-oriented, heat-shrinkable thermoplastic tubular films is disclosed. Thermoplastic resin is extruded through a plurality of annular dies to form a plurality of molten plastic tubes. The tubes are cooled and solidified and sent through a plurality of pinch rollers to stretch the tubes simultaneously in a machine and transverse direction, creating a plurality of tubular films. The films are cooled and heated, and then relaxed simultaneously in a machine and transverse direction. Winding rollers then wind up the finished tubular films.
