Sausage equipment selector FAQ
Do all sausages require a linker?
No. Products may be twisted, tied, clipped, filled into molds or processed continuously depending on casing and format.
Why is casing diameter important?
Diameter affects filler speed, portion length, linker or clipper range, thermal cycle and accepted pieces per minute.
When is a sausage peeler required?
Peeling is generally used after cooking and cooling for selected cellulose-cased skinless products.
