Sheep Casings
We offer multiple grades: from AA to C and caliber ranges from 14 mm to 28/+ mm.
Salted (Hank-Packed) Sheep Casings
- Traditional & Authentic: The original, time-tested method preferred by master butchers and artisans for the most authentic sausage-making experience.
- Cost-Effective: Typically offers the best value per unit length, especially beneficial for medium to high-volume hand-stuffing operations.
- Maximum Flexibility: Casings are not pre-set, allowing for ultimate control over sausage length and linkage style.
- Proven Quality: Allows for visual and tactile inspection of the entire casing before use, ensuring quality control at each step.
- Ideal for Hand Stuffing: Perfect for traditional, artisanal, or smaller-scale production where manual control is paramount.
Soft Tubed (Pre-Shirred in Pliable Tubing) Sheep Casings
- Perfect Balance of Speed and Versatility: Combines the convenience of pre-shirred casings with greater flexibility than the hard-tube format.
- Easier Handling and Storage: The soft, pliable tube can be bent or coiled, making it easier to store in refrigerators and handle on the production floor.
- Compatible with More Machines: Often fits a wider range of automatic and semi-automatic stuffing equipment, including some models where a rigid tube is not ideal.
- Reduced Preparation Time: Like hard tubed, it requires no pre-soaking or manual threading, streamlining the setup process.
- Ideal for Mid-Volume Producers: Excellent for smaller commercial processors or larger artisanal makers who need efficiency but may not require ultra-high-speed lines.
Hard Tubed (Pre-Shirred) Sheep Casings
- Maximum Production Efficiency: Designed specifically for high-speed automatic sausage filling machines. Dramatically reduces stuffing time and labor costs.
- Pre-Measured & Ready-to-Use: Casings come compressed (“shirred”) on a rigid plastic tube in specific, consistent lengths, eliminating measuring, soaking, and manual loading.
- Minimal Waste: Pre-set lengths reduce product giveaway and casing breaks during high-speed operation.
- Excellent Hygiene & Convenience: The sealed, hard tube is easy to store, handle, and load directly onto the stuffing horn with minimal direct contact.
- Consistent Output: Ensures uniform sausage length and appearance, batch after batch, ideal for large-scale commercial production (e.g., hot dogs, breakfast links).
