Disclosed is a method of forming a seamless, non derivatized cellulose tubular film having enhanced rewet shrinkage properties. The enhanced properties are provided by first drying a hydrated extruded tube of non derivatized cellulose gel at one inflated diameter to form a tubular film. The film is then moisturized while holding an inflated diameter smaller than the drying diameter.

Improving rewet shrink properties of casing

An apparatus to manufacture a cellulose food casing including a nonderivatized cellulose film precipitated in tubular form from an extruded thermoplastic solution of cellulose and an amine oxide cellulose solvent.

Apparatus for the manufacture of cellulose food casing

A shirred food casing stick with enhanced overall interpleat coherency is produced by imparting a rotational force to the stick as it is shirred, in a direction opposite to the rotational force imparted to the stick by the shirring means.

Method of making high coherency shirred casing

A shirred food casing stick with enhanced overall interpleat coherency is produced by imparting a rotational force to the stick as it is shirred, in a direction opposite to the rotational force imparted to the stick by the shirring.
