  • Publication number: 20180084792
    Abstract: The invention relates to an edible tubular collagen film which has a closure at either of their ends. The closure is formed by an edible solid ring-like element which tightens the end portion of casing and seals the outlet of the same, in order to stop the filling mass upon beginning of a sausage stuffing process, whereby in such a process one can rescue the initial filled sausage for its further processing, whereafter the ring disappears. This edible closing element is characterized by being of an edible, and thermoplastic composition, which is preferably based on collagen or gelatine. The solid composition has a low melting temperature and becomes adhesive at fluid state onto the surface of a collagen film which contains a certain level of moisture. The strong cohesiveness of the material of said composition in the fluid state as well as the so narrow difference between its melting temperature and the temperature of solidification, makes that a welding of said material to be set very quickly.

  • Patent number: 9770046
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a tube-removing machine and method of manufacturing artificial casings by means of said machine, allowing a fast, efficient and automatic cutting of the sections of casing (2) which contain tubes (5), subsequently splicing the remaining casing (2) once said tube (5) is discarded, comprising detection means (10) for detecting the arrival of a tube (5) contained in the casing (2); cutting means (20) for cutting a section of the casing (2) incorporating said tube (5); splicing means (30) for splicing the ends of the cut casing (2); and temporary storage means (40) for storing the casing (2) which allow continually taking in casing (2) in the tube-removing machine (1) during the time used in the cutting and splicing phases, preventing interruptions in the subsequent shirring process.
