HOVUS
is the exclusive distributor for victan®-brand casings throughout
North America. These casings have proven successful in many different
food processing applications. This is a function of the ability to
manipulate the patented polyamide (PA) formulation to fit the needs
of the food processor based upon rigorous packaging trials.
Victan® brand casings come in two basic forms; non-oriented monolayer
casings (victan® KB,P and PT), and oriented multilayer casings
(victan® Multisafe, Formex, XTH, XTM, XTE and their analogs).
Victan® technology also affords the ability to produce a non-oriented
tubular film that can be converted into forms useful in the cooking
of meats and soups. Victan® NSH is a PA based tube film resistant
to 392°F (200°C), while the victan® PH blend is useful to 446°F
(230°C).
The application chart below will help in selection of which casing
form might be the best for your company.
Oriented
Casings
Our oriented multilayer casings
are co-extruded and tempered to create precisely defined shrink ratios
required for high tech food processing. The multi-layer structure
allows this group of casings to perform various simultaneous objectives
including high shrinkability, low oxygen and water permeability, and
enhanced strength needed for trouble-free use on today's high-speed
filling and clipping equipment. The generally approved temperature
range for victanŽ oriented casings is 0°F (-18°C) to 194°F (90°C),
but this range may be greater in specially designed materials.

victanŽ XTH - a universal shrinkable
multilayer casing used for the production of cooked sausages needing
extended shelf-life and vibrant color
victanŽ XTM - a casing with many properties
similar to the XTH variety with reduced or medium (M) meat cling
victanŽ XTE - a casing with many properties
similar to the XTH variety with significantly reduced meat cling,
easy-peel (E) type
Non-Oriented Casings
Our non-oriented monolayer casings (victanŽ KB, P and PT) are extruded
and blown tubular films made of a complex PA blend to fit a wide range
of food processing applications. This group of plastic casings is
non-shrinkable and therefore very suitable for cooked products in
moulds, hot or raw filled products. The approved temperature range
for victanŽ non-oriented casings is 0°F
(-18°C) to 250°F (121°C).
victanŽ KB - a universal casing for
cooked sausages with excellent diameter control
victanŽ P - a universal casing for large
diameter cooked meat products, especially for those products in moulds,
such as hams, meatloaves and the like
victanŽ PT - a casing well adapted to
fit all raw meat applications and other non-cooked food products
