Economic benefits
- A decrease in raw material losses: working with uniform calibers means minimising raw materials losses during the sausage-making process.
- Greater productivity: working with longer pieces (8 metres) permits improved production process efficiency.
- Lower breakage rate: Viva's natural casings have no imperfections thanks to its refining process, making them more resistant and with less breakage rates than other natural casings.
Breakage rate of traditional casings: 4-5%
Viva's breakage rate: 0.5-1.5%. - Packaging cost savings: thanks to the exact and stable calibers.
- Reduction on cooking losses:
Traditional casings: 8%
Viva natural casings (potentially): 4% - Lower return rate: the properties of Viva products provide a long preservation time. Thanks to this, the use-by date is longer and the return rate is lower than other products made with natural salted casings.
- Increased production speed: thanks to the greater stability of the casings (up to 30%) and improved handling (length standardisation and lighter product).
- Simplification of buying process: by long-term guaranteed volumes.
Improved appearance
Viva products have a uniform texture, free from roughness and are more transparent than other natural casings. This gives them a cleaner and shinier aspect making them much more appealing.
Proven natural quality
Viva casings are made from the finest quality European or American raw materials. That's why they possess all the organoleptic properties of natural products: flavour, texture, perfect bite and bright colour. In addition, thanks to their natural origin, it is a much healthier product than artificial casings.
