COLLAGEN CASINGS

Our collagen casings are made from natural animal protein: raw materials that are easily traced to source, more hygienic than other options, and free from health risks. A superior casing for stuffing and filling with a superb bite.

Fresh Sausage Casings

A sausage casing ideal for foodservice products. Available in clear or tinted in a wide range of sizes. Excellent stuffing performance. Designed for deep fry, pan fry, grilling and precooked applications.

Meat Snack Casings

Excellent diameter control & strength for high-speed reeling and linking. Colorfast and superior shelf life. Faster processing and cycle times. Developed for both consumers and manufacturers in mind.

Processed Sausage Casings

These casings are designed for processed sausages that are produced with high-speed fillers and linkers, and undergo a secondary processing stage. The added processing strength ensures reliable machining for most applications while limiting shrinkage and weight loss.

Clear Choice®

Viscofan’s Clear Choice casing delivers a premium product designed with the unique ability to closely mimic the desired qualities of natural casings – without the mess, fuss and cost. With added strength, provides great results for water, steam & smoke cooking, frying & grilling, and with excellent consistency it works conveniently for stuffing both fresh and processed applications.

Flavored Casings

With Viscofan’s Flavored Nitta Casings, you can simply use the same meat & emulsion to produce different flavored sausages without the changeover process. This means reduced downtime, increased efficiency and cost savings. Plus, our taste testers agree that both aroma and taste are better with flavored casings!

COEXTRUSION GEL

We produce custom-made Co-extrusion gel for various sausage applications. Your choice of collagen or alignate. Now available in color. Only from Viscofan.

Co-Extrusion Gel

Co-extrusion is a completely automated process for producing sausage with a casing formed by gel. A uniform thin layer of gel is applied to the outside of the sausage just as it is being formed. As it passes this salt bath, this layer acquires the necessary firmness and strength for further processing. When compared to conventional methods, cost savings are significant, and food safety aspects are unique. Viscofan’s co-extrusion gel is available in both Collagen and Alginate.
