Abstract: Disclosed is an intrinsically stable shirred, tubular, single-layer or multilayer food casing that preferably has a sigma-5 value (longitudinal/transversal, measured in a moist state) of less than 20/20 N/mm2. Said casing is preferably shirred at a ratio of 100:1 or more, preferably 120:1 to 500:1, and is essentially made of synthetic polymers. The shirred casing can be stored and transported without using a net-type envelope and is particularly suitable for processing on fully automatic sausage stuffing, portioning, clipping, and twisting devices.

The control device (22) controls individual envelope (14) removal from store (3). Transport devices (5, 6, 7, and 8) and deflection rollers (9) arranged along feed belt (4) transport envelope (14) along the feed belt (4) from store (3) to filling tube (11 or 12).

Abstract: The invention relates to a tubular, single or multi-layered polyamide and/or copolyamide-based food casing and/or including a polyamide and/or copolyamide-based inner layer. The water-vapour permeability of the casing is less than 30 g/m2 d. The surface tension of the inner side is greater than 28 dyne/cm2, preferably 35-45 dyne/cm2. The inside of the casing is impregnated with liquid smoke without the addition of a browning agent and the liquid smoke is practically totally absorbed by the casing. The casing is particularly useful as synthetic sausage skin, particularly for browing, cooking or roasting.

Abstract: A sausage product has a sausage casing closed at the ends and a sausage contents contained in the sausage casing. The sausage casing has an opening element that, when actuated, opens the sausage casing in the area of the opening element. The opening element is arranged such on the sausage casing that the sausage casing is opened by the opening element in a direction substantially transverse to a longitudinal sausage axis of the sausage product.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a shirred concertina formed from a seamless, tubular foodstuff casing that is tied-off at one end, and has an outer surface provided with a coating or impregnation including a food additive. The tied-off end of the present casing is turned back inwardly, into the hollow cavity formed by the concertina. Concertinas of the present invention are particularly adapted for use with automatic sausage filling, portioning, and clipping machines.

Abstract: A section of a tubular foodstuff casing closed at one end with an end with a flat transverse seam, wherein the casing comprises a heat-sealable polymer material, or has a layer or a coating thereof on an inner side thereof, or wherein the casing comprises (i) uncoated or coated textile material, (ii) knitted material and/or, (iii) nonwoven, or non-fiber-reinforced or fiber-reinforced cellulose, where said flat transverse seam comprises a jointing seam comprising a sealed seam and/or a adhesive seam.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tubular double food casing. It comprises an outer barrier casing and an inner casing having at least one coloring, aroma substance and/or flavoring which is transferred to the food. It further relates to a shirred stick made of two successive segments, the first segment consisting of the shirred barrier casing and the second consisting of the shirred inner casing and the deshirred, or non-shirred, start of the second casing being passed through the cavity of the first segment and fixed to the start of the barrier casing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a single- or multilayer shirred stick packaging casing in the form of a shirred stick based on synthetic or natural polymers which has a high shirring density of up to 1:500 at a length of the shirred stick of from 10 to 200 cm, and to a process for producing the packaging casing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tubular food casing, one surface of which has a continuous layer which is solid under standard conditions of temperature and pressure, prepared from a mixture made from a wax solid under these conditions and/or from a wax-like component, from a liquid smoke, and from an emulsifier with the aid of which a stable water-in-oil emulsion can be formed. The layer adheres firmly to the casing and is also flexible, so that the outer side of the casing can be turned inside out without difficulty. When the sausages produced therewith are cooked or scalded, the wax or the wax-like component melts so that the liquid smoke can migrate onto the surface of the meat emulsion and there produce the desired characteristics of smoking.

Abstract: An apparatus 17 for continuously forming rings of thermoplastic, shrinkable tubular casings 1 includes an unwinding roller 20, a first pair of pinch rolls 2, a ring-forming tool 3, a second pair of pinch rolls 15 and a winding-up roller 21. The tubular casing 1 is passed from the unwinding roller 20 through the pair of pinch rolls 2 and runs along a running-zone A into the ring-forming tool 3, which includes a spiral 19 and guide rollers 7 and 8 on an outer side 5 and an inner side 6, respectively, of the tubular casing 1 as well as a heater 4 for generating hot air. After covering a running-out zone B, the ring casing 16 leaving the ring-forming tool 3 runs through the second pair of pinch rolls 15, which pinches off the gas blown in at low gauge pressure in the section of the tubular casing 1, or of the ring casing 16, between the first pair of rolls 2 and second pair of rolls 15, with the result that said gas remains only in the section mentioned.
