The Viscofan Group is the world leader in artificial casings for meat products which it distributes in over 120 countries worldwide.
The only manufacturer in the worldwide using technology for all categories of casing products: cellulose, collagen, fibrous and plastic.
Collagen casings are of two kinds: small calibre (e.g. fresh sausages, Bratwurst etc) and large calibre (e.g. salami, Bierwurst etc). The key difference lies in the thickness of the casing wall and the way the collagen is processed to withstand a given degree of stress when filled and holding in the weight of the meat.
Viscofan also uses collagen to make edible film wrap to encase various meat products (hams, roulades etc).
Viscofan collagen casings are for producing professional sausages, they are called HL (Hand link) as they are designed to give you the perfect hand link sausages when twisting.
This collagen casing is 26mm in diameter at 37.5ft per strand giving you a total of over 187ft!
Unlike natural casings, collagen casings do not need to be soaked and are ready to use straight from the packet!
In order to get the best results from your collagen casings, please rub the ends of the casing in a little vegetable oil when in use. This allows the casings to be more flexible and gives a professional shine to the finished product!
