Definitions
- This invention relates to a tubular product such as a tubular casing, and in particular to a tubular casing having a predetermined maximum extensible diameter.
- tubular products such as tubular casing of the variety described in this specification is in the food industry.
- the invention is not restricted to this particular application.
- Tubular products such as knitted netting or elasticated knitted fabric casing are used in the cooking and curing process of meat products. In the cooking of certain meat products, it is common to pack the meat pieces into an elasticated tubular net. The tubular net compresses the meat pieces and holds them together during the cooking process.
- tubular products are normally removed from cooked meat products which can then be further packaged, ready for sale.
- Elasticated tubular casing is also used on cured meat products such as ham and metwurst.
- the means of filling tubular casing normally comprises fitting the casing onto a hollow cylindrical mandrill, which is known as a stuffing tube, and using a machine to pump or force meat product under pressure through the stuffing tube into the casing.
- the casing is drawn from the stuffing tube as the meat product is extruded out of the stuffing tube.
- the process is started by first clipping the end of a casing once sufficient casing is placed on the stuffing tube. Further clips are placed at intervals dependent on the required length of the product.
- Such machines can be used either with minced meat products, meat portions or whole meat muscle.
- tubular product that is commonly used such as tubular netting is able to expand to very large diameters.
- the required diameter is normally achieved by controlling the pressure at which meat product is pumped through the stuffing tube.
- a product of uniform diameter is more visually appealing and avoids wastage and reworking of product at the manufacturing stage.
- the invention is a tubular casing for use with food product that includes, circumferential threads along the length of said tubular casing that become taunt at a preset diameter so that said tubular casing has a predetermined diameter when filled with food products.
- the circumferential threads may comprise either elasticated threads or inextensible threads.
- the invention may also be a tubular casing which is a combination of a net and fibrous casings.
- the fibrous casing is located within and extends along the length of the net casing.
- the diameter of the fibrous casing greatly exceeds the diameter of the net casing in its relaxed form. This ensures, in the case of a net having elastic circumferential threads, that a constant compressive force is applied to meat product as it is forced into the tubular casing.
- a tubular net or tubular casing using circumferential elastic threads 10 will continue to apply considerable compressive force to meat product within once it reaches its maximum diameter. This compressive force will be maintained even though there may be some further shrinkage of the meat product.
- the rate at which the yarn 12 is wrapped around the elastic threads 11 can be varied so that the elastic limit of the elastic thread 10 also varies.
- This variation can be produced in a controlled manner so that the maximum diameter of the tubular casing varies along its length.
