HUKKI VFX casings are composed of an extra strengthened textile mesh which – like all of our HUKKI casings – arecoated with a fine collagen film. By preserving its fermentation features, these casings offer a very high mechanical loading capacity, especially for sliced products. Caliber stability, good shaping of the shoulders at the end of the sausages, high resistance to stuffing pressure, as well as excellent water release during fermentation are its outstanding characteristics. The special strength of this new sausage casing generation is the excellent peelability, both manually as well as mechanically. You will see, the handling is especially convincing for mold ripened salami.

You can order HUKKI casings via all butcher supply companies, meat supply retailers and meat cooperative societies. Please contact us. We are happy to inform you on the closest supplier in your area.

Of course, HUKKI casings are suited for the manufacturing of cooked sausages, semi-dry sausages and cooked meat products. For those applications, we recommend casings with 100 Easy-peel impregnation for a better peelability.

HUKKI casings should always be soaked briefly in cold salt water. We recommend a 10-15% salt concentration. Avoid soaking in advance (to stockpile) if possible. After soaking briefly, let the casings stand on a drip grid or something similar. Casings with netting should stay dry on the open end for a few centimeters. This facilitates the tying and clipping process.

Yes, there are. Please do not hesitate to contact us or the manufacturer of the clipping machine. A general clipping counsel would not be advisable, because it depends on the following important factors:

  • Which clipping technique is available?
  • Are you planning to clip casings with or without netting?
  • Which caliber needs to be closed-up?
