Abstract
The present invention relates to an improved method for regenerating cellulosic sausage casings which includes the steps of extruding viscose through an annular extrusion die submerged in an aquarium to form a tubular product and partially gelling and coagulating the gel tubing in the aquarium, supporting the partially gelled and coagulated tubing on at least two upwardly moving inclined belt such that different sides of the casing are disposed in an upward facing orientation on the different belts and applying an intermediate regenerating solution to the tubing supported by the belts until it is partially cured, and conveying the partially cured tubing into at least one coagulation/regeneration bath which completes regeneration of the tubing.
