Our production of sausages is now reaching the point where manual portioning is becoming too time consuming and we are looking for a cheap mechanical portioner of the table-top variety that will portion sausages from about 8cm to 25 cm in length and diameters of around 25mm down to around 10mm. The stuffer we are using is of the hydraulic type.... something like http://www.meatprocessingproducts.com/fma-13751.html
We only use natural pork and sheep casings which can be pretty fragile.
I was looking at the model L.80 as seen here http://www.superiorfoodmachinery.com/downloads/data_sheets/1328113620L80.pdf
However, I have talked to an engineer who tells me that this type of machine has a tendency to tear natural casings. Does anyone have experience of this type of machine when using natural casings? Alternatively can anyone direct me to a piece of equipment for around the same price that would suit our needs?
Thank you very much for any assistance that is forthcoming.
