AMIFLEX Express

Description

The AMIFLEX Express casing is a multilayer barrier sausage casing with a glossy surface.
The AMIFLEX Express casing is intended for products sold from retail outlets as whole chubs.
In contrast to other barrier casings, AMIFLEX Express can be used in dry condition, that is, without soaking (or pre-wetting), and without overstuffing, that is, molding is made ‘caliber-to-caliber’ (no more than 2 – 3% overstuffing).

Application

The AMIFLEX Express casing can be used for production, transportation, storage and sale of:

• cooked sausage and ham products;
• blood and liver sausages, and spreads;
• souse, aspic, and jellied products;
• animal cooking fats;
• frozen products (minced sausage and meat);
• other food products.

Advantages

1. Mechanical strength of the AMIFLEX Express casing makes it possible to mold ball-shaped chubs with the use of high-capacity automatic and semi-automatic clippers at high production rates.

2. Low permeability to oxygen and water vapor is ensured by a precisely selected combination of polymers and provides for the following advantages of the AMIFLEX Express casing:

   • zero losses during the thermal processing and storage of meat and sausage products;
   • microbiological stability of the products during storage;
   • retardation of the oxidation processes that cause rancidification of fats and changes in the natural color of the meat product;
   • excellent selling appearance (no “wrinkles”) of the finished products throughout the shelf life.

3. Physiological safety the AMIFLEX Express casing is impervious to microbiological degradation, because the materials used for their production are inert to the action of bacteria and mold fungi. This facilitates storage of the casing and improves the hygienic characteristics of both the casing itself, and of the sausage production.
