Sausage Manufacturing Machines

Sausage making has been originally developed as a means to preserve and

transport meat. Primitive societies learned that dried berries and spices

could be added to dried meat. By 600-500 BC there is mention of sausages

from China, Rome and Greece. Sausages come in two main types: fresh and

cured.

All smoked sausages are cured. The reason is the threat of botulism. The

bacterium responsible, Clostridium botulinum, is ubiquitous in the

environment, grows in the anaerobic conditions created in the interior of

the sausage.

Fresh sausages

Fresh sausages are simply seasoned ground meats that

are cooked before serving. Fresh sausages normally do

not use cure (Prague powder #1) although cure can be

used if desired. In addition fresh sausages typically do

not use smoke flavors, although liquid smoke can be used.

Cured cooked sausages

Cured sausages differ from fresh sausages by

including 2 teaspoons of cure (Prague powder #1) per

10 pounds of finished product. This is usually

interpreted per 10 pounds of meat. This works out to

4 ounces of cure for 100 pounds of sausage.

Cured dry sausages

Cured dry sausages are prepared in a fashion similar to

cured cooked sausages. The major difference is that

Prague powder #2 will be used in place of Prague powder

#1. In addition, certified meats must be used. Since these

products are never heated to a temperature that can kill

trichinosis, it is necessary to accomplish this by other

methods.
