Sheep casings
The thinnest and most delicate variety of natural casings, while maintaining high quality and flexibility, gives the advantage, which is obtained during production using Vector Food sheep casings.
Naturally the best
Nothing is better than the natural casing. Despite the development of many types of synthetic casings, manufacturers consciously decide to use natural ones and such products are often considered Premium.

Advantage over synthetic ones
Strong but fully permeable, their structure allows for deep penetration of the smoke, and thus the perfect flavour of the sausage
Eating sausage in the natural casing is a pleasure and you will not find the characteristic crackle of a bite in any other product
It is fully biodegradable and fits the definition of "zero waste"
After thermal treatment, it has a matte appearance and a natural colour
The sausage in natural casings remains tender and juicy and keeps its fresh appearance for longer
Perfect for cooking, the flavours of spices infuse better and the final product is more visually attractive

The uniqueness of Vector Food natural casings
The unique method of packaging allows us to achieve long pieces of the casings that reduce production losses. Stretching the sheep casings over the overlapping tubes does not disrupt the stuffing process and lengthens it as much as possible.
Types of breakbulk
Sheep casings on tubes with a separator or with an overlap
Sheep casings on soft tubes with a separator or with an overlap
Salted sheep casings in bunches
Sheep casings on tubes with a separator or with an overlap
Sheep casings on tubes with a separator or with an overlap
The most popular type of breaking bulk sheep casings for the needs of an automated production line, offered in two variants with a separator or “glued” with an overlap. Delivered in brine and almost immediately ready for stuffing.
Sheep casings on soft tubes with a separator or with an overlap
Sheep casings on soft tubes with a separator or with an overlap
They are delivered in brine and can be intended for production almost immediately, packaging the sheep casings on the soft tube with an overlap or a separator significantly reduces the time needed to stretch the sheep casings on the hopper. Another advantage of this solution is that there is no need to adjust the size of the hopper to the width of the strap, as is the case with tubes.
