Casing cleaning machine LVA

Natural casings, no matter the animal from which they are obtained, are stored under salt in containers to ensure their preservation without using the cold chain. The importance of desalting is related to the osmotic process of drying and curing salamis. It is indeed important that the salt concentration of the casings is at the filling similar to that of meat salting, whether whole or minced. The salt concentration of salted casings is 12% to 15%, while the salting concentration is on average between 3% and 4.5%. Excessive salt in the casing can cause inhomogeneity of salting of the product up to detachments between casing and meat. Our LVA and LVE machines are the best answer for quality and desalting time and for reducing water consumption. Our casing desalting and washing machines, in LVA and LVE versions, are used to desalt and wash casings stored in salt. They are made entirely of stainless steel and consist of a pentagonal mesh tank with a desalting and rinsing shower and a washing tank. The capacity is one, or half a 250-l drum, respectively. The product is manually introduced into the pentagonal tank made of a specially made net, so as to ensure proper de-salting of the product. The tank rotates under a shower to remove the salt on the outside of the casings. At the end of desalting, the tank is filled with water at the right temperature and with the normally used cleaner, with restart of the tank carrying out the casing washing. After the tank is emptied, a short rinsing cycle, which can be avoided with natural detergents, ends the treatment cycle.
