Alginate sausage systems
Risco RS 192 is an innovative system designed for the production of sausages with a vegetable alginate-based coating. Unlike traditional methods where sausages are filled into natural or artificial casings, the RS 192 coats the sausages with this unique vegetable-based material.
The RS 192 system combines innovation, efficiency, and quality to create sausages coated with a vegetable alginate-based material.
What is alginate casing?
Alginate is a natural gel extracted from brown algae, used as an alternative casing to natural, collagen, or cellulose casings. It is applied directly during the sausage-forming process, where it solidifies instantly upon contact with a calcium chloride solution.
The result is a plant-based, flavorless, uniform coating that is completely free of animal-derived raw materials.
WHEN TO CONSIDER ALGINATE
In many applications, traditional casing remains the perfect choice. However, there are situations where other factors, such as yield, automation, and production for specific markets (e.g., vegetarian) make alginate the more practical option.
When the process requires product uniformity, high repeatability, and precise control of parameters, alginate offers an alternative approach to resource management.
Alginate is an additional option to integrate into the production strategy.
How the operational model works
In the production of sausages with alginate-based material, the coating is applied directly during the sausage-forming process.
EXTRUSION
The dough is extruded and the plant-based coating is applied to the flow.
FORMING
The product diameter is set in real time.
STABILIZATION
The coating reaches stability immediately.
TRANSFER TO THE NEXT STAGE
The product moves directly to the next processing step.
This setup redefines the dynamics of the production line.
A choice that changes production organization
Adopting alginate coating means intervening in the way the department plans and manages daily operations.
- simplifying planning
- reducing operational variables
- making results predictable
- facilitating coordination
- increasing long-term stability
A decision that involves the entire organization.
New production markets, new business opportunities
Plant-based casing makes it easier to address production for specific markets such as:
🥩
Meat sausages
🐟
Fish sausages
🌿
Vegetarian and plant-based products
☪
Halal production
✡
Kosher production
Alginate is not just a processing solution, but a tool for expanding the range of products that can be manufactured.
Evaluating the most suitable configuration
Every facility is unique: production speeds, working practices, and processing goals require careful preliminary analysis. For example, it is important to consider:
- types of sausage products
- available layout
- in-house expertise
- required production rates
- level of integration with auxiliary systems
