iCel Premium‑M

iCel Premium M – super-permeable matt casing, imparting to the product the appearance of a premium item.

1. The smoke-permeable casings iCel Premium-M allow roasting and smoking, which imparts to the products the pleasant traditional taste and flavor of smoke, and contributes to the formation of the coagulated protein crust and glossy surface of the product under the casing.
2. The high mechanical strength of the iCel Premium-M casing makes it possible to use high-capacity automatic and semi-automatic clippers to ensure a high production speed and stuffing stability.
3. The high elasticity of the casing makes it possible to overfill the iCel Premium-M casing by up to 14%.
4. The high oxygen barrier properties compared with collagen and viscose-reinforced casings provide for the following advantages:

• reduction of oxidation processes, in particular, rancidification of fats;
• preservation of the individual flavor of spices in the finished products throughout the shelf life, regardless of whether secondary packaging is used.

5. The high heat resistance of the polymers used for production of the iCel Premium-M line of casings significantly extends the temperature range of utilization of this casing in comparison with cellulose casings. The casing is not only stable at high smoking temperatures (up to 75 – 85 °C), but also resistant to a prolonged effect of such temperatures.
6. The microbiological resistance is due to the use, for production of the iCel Premium-M casings, of polymers impervious to bacteria and mold fungi. This improves the hygienic characteristics of both the casing, and the finished products.

The iCel Premium-M line of casings is suitable for single- or double-side printing. The number of print colors varies from 1 to 6.
The curved casings of the iCel Premium Mko line can be printed on the inner, outer or lateral part of the ring; the customer's order should specify the location of the print.
