General
FG inedible collagen casings are the most popular types of casings manufactured by FABIOS. They are recommended for the production of boiled and cured, semi-dry, baked or double-cured salamis. Being made of high quality bovine collagen, they are the perfect alternative to natural guts, or when one wants to obtain natural-looking products. Since they are mechanically resistant and easily peelable, they allow better productivity as they may be used on automatic stuffing machines. They also significantly reduce losses during heat treatment processes, as compared to natural casings.
Characteristics
- attractive natural-looking product
- may be stuffed on automatic machines with double clamping
- are permeable to smoke and water vapor
- excellent diameter continuance
- during the curing stage they acquire a specific “smoky” appearance
- efficient in production

Applications
They are recommended for the production of boiled and cured, semi-dry, baked or double-cured salamis, like the Summer Salami, Pork Salami, Bucuresti Salami, Dumbrava Salami, Italian Salami, Cured Extrawurst, etc. They may be coated with DeliPVA exterior protection film.
Due to diameter continuance, the weight of the products may be preset.
