Collagen casing is manufactured by extracting collagen from animal hides and reconstituting it into a uniform tubular film through an extrusion process. The resulting casing provides consistent diameter, wall thickness, and mechanical strength that supports high-speed filling operations.
Edible varieties are engineered to be tender after cooking while maintaining structural integrity during processing and handling. Collagen casings offer significant advantages over natural casings including uniformity, ease of use, and reduced labor costs. They are available in a wide range of calibers suitable for fresh sausages, smoked sausages, snack sticks, and other processed meat formats.
