It sounds as though you have insufficient bind. It may also be that you are low in fat content. What meat are you working with?

You need to develop myosin in the meat to turn mince in to sausagemeat.

It's the salt that does this. After grinding the meat mix the (still) very cold meat and seasonings until the texture changes and it becomes a sticky mass. You can help this process along by adding the salt to the meat the night before grinding.
