iCel

Description

iCel is a highly permeable plastic casing designed for production cooked sausages and hams, semidry and dry sausages.
Products in iCel casing are perfectly suitable for slicing and the following secondary packaging.

Application

cooked sausages and cooked hams;
cooked and smoked products, semidry and dry sausages;
semi-smoked, cooked-and-smoked, and fat-containing sausages

Benefits

The high elasticity of the casing makes it possible to fill the iCel casing with 12 – 14% overstuffing.
The high mechanical strength of iCel casing makes it possible to use high-capacity automatic and semi-automatic clippers, which provides for a high rate of production, and stability of the shape.
Microbiological resistance. The polymers used for production of iCel casing are inert to the action of bacteria and mold fungi. This improves the hygienic characteristics of both the casing itself, and the finished sausages.
High heat resistance of the polymers used for production of iCel casing significantly extends the temperature range of use of this casing in comparison with collagen and viscose-reinforced casings. The casing is resistant not only to high temperatures of smoking, but also to their prolonged effect.
The high oxygen barrier capacity compared to collagen and viscose–reinforced casings ensures the following advantageous properties:
- reduction of the oxidation processes, in particular, rancidification of speck;
- preservation of the individual flavor of spices in the finished products throughout the shelf life.
