ICel– innovations continue – the ERA

of a new generation of casings

Purpose of ICel casing

Designed for production, packaging, storage and sale of boiled sausages and hams, boiled & smoked sausages, semi-smoked and raw-smoked wieners, speckwurst and mini-sausages, and sausage processed cheeses.

ICel – innovations in the world of casings.

Reasons for development: Need for more permeable casings to bring the

sensory parameters of the sausages closer to those of the sausages in cellulose casings.

Only a selected few of the manufacturers have achieved the required smoked taste and flavor, and the attractive crust on the sausage surface.

Goals achieved: Permeability to gases and smoke raised. Better appearance, mechanical properties and

processability.

Unique properties of ICel casing

The customer gets a plastic casing with a permeability

comparable to that of a cellulose casing used on

automatic clippers

Classification of permeable casings

Highly permeable.Natural, protein, cellulose, and NANOSMOK, ICel.

Medium permeable.AMISMOK, AMITAN PRO, AMICEL plastic permeable casings.

Reduced-permeability casings.FIBROSMOK, AMITAN PRO-U plastic permeable casings.

Distinctive features and properties of the whole ICel range of casings

Appearance of the casings is close to that of the natural material – the cellulose casings.

Belongs to the group of casings highly permeable to water vapour and liquid smoke. There are no analogues among plastic casings.

Sensory characteristics of sausage products in the ICel casings are identical to or exceed the same characteristics of sausages in cellulose casings, due to the barrier properties.

Oxygen transmission rate is lower than in other highly permeable casings. That is, the oxidative processes in the meat product are less intensive.

Lower weight losses during the heat treatment than in the case of other highly permeable casings.

Improved hygienic properties of the product. Barrier properties that make is possible to preserve the smoked flavour and

smell longer than in cellulose casings.

Classification of ICel casings

ICel type S – a glossy casing. Type Sko- a ring-shaped version.

Icel type М – a matt casing. Type Mko – a ring-shaped version.

ICel types S and Sko A glossy casing to replace cellulose casings. Packaged

sausages cannot be distinguished from sausages in cellophane.

Thickness 25μm Gauges:

30-90mm – straight version;30-51mm – ring-shaped version.

Colors: white, clear, claret, cherry, smoke, brown, red orange, salmon, mahogony, orange, light brown, dark brown.

ICel types М and Mko

Matt casing to replace protein casings. Packaged sausages can hardly be distinguished from sausages in collagen casings.

Gauges:30-90mm – straight version;30-51mm – ring-shaped version.

Colors: white, clear, claret, cherry, smoked, brown, red orange, salmon, mahogony, orange, light brown, dark brown.

Printing and shirring

ICel casing can be used for single-side or double-side printing. Number of print colors – from 1 to 6. CMYK printing is also possible.  

ICel casing is supplied shirred, 38m in a shirred stick, or 31m for ring-shaped casings.

Casings with optional properties can be supplied to special orders:

- printing: edge-to-edge; - shirring: shirred sticks with a loop under the

rear clip; optional shirred stick length and content.
