Collagen Casings
Huon Distributors are proud to be the Australian and New Zealand agent for 'Nippi' Collagen Casings, which offer outstanding performance to the sausage manufacturer in terms of consistency, linking performance, appearance, cooking performance and 'bite' quality.
Collagen is a protein found in the connective tissue of animals. Nippi use the corium layer of freshly prepared cattle hides, which are broken down by mechanical and chemical action to seperate the collagen fibres. Nippi Casings are different from other collagen casings in that their special collagen solution permits the extrusion of stronger membranes. This ensures excellent machinability while maintaining tenderness.
Nippi Collagen Casings are available in a large range of calibres, from 13mm right up to 38mm. They can also be ordered in a variety of pre-dyed colours suitable for the manufacture of smallgoods such as frankfurts, saveloys, and cabana.
F | Fresh Sausages | F Type Nippi casings are designed specifically for fresh sausage cooked quickly by dehydrated heat such as deep frying, grilling or pan frying. One of the key characteristics of the F type casing is the ability to maintain it's shape when cooked. There is very little shrinkage, so breakage and pull-back after frying is minimal. Nippi engineers designed the F Type casing to wet-out (swell) quickly in order to become flexible during the stuffing process. The end result is sausage links with nice closed ends and little breakage or tearing during the linking process. |
| R | Smoked and Cooked Sausages | R Type Nippi casings are designed for procesed, smoked, semi-dried and dried sausage. R Type is a multi-purpose casing, which meets various industry requirements. The extra strong membrane enables trouble free, high speed stuffing which improves profitability. Upon completion of the cooking/smoking process, the membrane of the R Type casing then becomes extra tender to provide a nice bite. Also, cooked sausage (non-smoked) made with R Type casing can be pan fried without any breakage or peeling. |
