Efficiency starts with the right casing
Operational efficiency, yield, and throughput are key drivers of profitability in today’s food industry. At ViskoTeepak, casing choice is seen as a critical factor in achieving these goals. Nova plastic casings are not just components—they are tailor-made, precision-engineered solutions designed to reduce total operating costs and deliver measurable value.
Case study focus: Nova RC Ready-to-Use
This article is the second in a three-part case study series. It focuses on how Nova RC (Robust Control) in a Ready-to-Use (RTU) format transformed chorizo production by eliminating soaking, improving food safety, and increasing yield.
The solution: performance straight from the box
Nova RC RTU is a barrier plastic casing engineered specifically for chorizo applications, suitable for both manual and high-speed production. Delivered ready to use, it removes the need for pre-soaking, simplifying operations while ensuring consistent performance from the first link to the last.
“Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.”
– Paul J. Meyer
Proven, measurable benefits
By implementing Nova RC RTU, the customer achieved clear operational improvements:
- Improved food safety and regulatory compliance by removing the soaking step and reducing cross-contamination risk
- Lower operational overhead through reduced water use, energy consumption, and labor
- Improved caliber stability and yield, enabling more efficient packaging and reduced giveaway
- Reliable strength for high-speed production, minimizing breakage, downtime, and product waste
A tailor-made approach to chorizo production
While Nova RC RTU was the optimal solution in this case, the Nova portfolio also includes Nova RMCH for balanced performance and Nova RPD for permeable casing applications. This reflects ViskoTeepak’s tailor-making approach—matching each customer with the casing solution that best fits their production needs.
