For the preparation of sausages in production, a variety of equipment is used. This is a meat grinder, and minced meat mixers, and much more. One of the most important devices for making sausages, sausages and wieners is, of course, a stuffed syringe. The main types of such equipment, there are only two: electrical and manual. The first type is commonly used in large factories. A manual sausage syringe is used in small workshops. Sometimes such equipment is used even at home.
Types of Hand Syringes
Stuffed structures may differ primarily in size and, therefore, in the volume of the chamber for stuffing. Also on the market there is vertical and horizontal equipment of this type. Both that and other variety are rather reliable and productive. However, vertical models take up less space. But a horizontal syringe for manual sausages is cheaper (though not very much). In vertical equipment, minced meat is pushed in the cylinder from top to bottom. In horizontal - from right to left.
Design features
The stuffing chamber in hand syringes is usually made in the form of a cylinder. For its manufacture, stainless steel is used. The rolled meat mass is manually driven into the cylinder. Squeezing the stuffing into the shell in sausage syringes can be done by different working bodies: screw, blade, screw. However, most often in manual models, pressure is provided by a simple piston on a thin metal rod.
Sausage filling syringes can operate at two different speeds. Stuffing stuffing, and especially large, is usually done in slow mode. If the piston speed is low, the shell will be filled with chopped meat as evenly as possible, without voids. The quick mode in such models is designed not to work for the most part, but to pull the syringe out of the cylinder or lower it into the chamber when laying the stuffing.
Actually, the movement of the working body itself is due to the simple mechanical rotation of the handle by the operator. In both vertical and horizontal models, it is located on the sidewall of a metal frame.
Additional items
Complete with equipment such as a manual sausage syringe, usually comes several long hollow metal nozzles of different diameters. It is on them that an artificial, natural or bio-shell is put on under stuffing. Depending on the diameter, these elements can be used to make thick or thin sausages. They are screwed to the bell of the chamber with a special large metal nut. Nozzles, like the chamber, are made of stainless steel. Since their inner surface is very smooth, even coarsely chopped minced meat comes into the shell very easily.
Syringe for home
At home, for the preparation of sausages, simple plastic nozzles are usually used, fixed to the socket of the meat grinder. However, recently manufacturers have begun to produce small (3-5 liters) sausage syringes. You can choose such a model, including for use at home. Buying a manual syringe will be a good solution, for example, for those who feed pigs, sheep or gobies. After all, there is usually a lot of guts after slaughter, and therefore part of the meat with such equipment can immediately be used to prepare natural and tasty homemade sausages.
How to use
It’s easy to work with such a design as a manual sausage syringe. Pieces of beef, lamb or pork are simply twisted in a meat grinder and slaughtered in a chamber (denser). Next, a suitable nozzle is attached to the bell of the cylinder. For beef and pork sausages, thick is usually used, for lamb - thin. After that, a thoroughly washed bowel is put on the nozzle. It must be pulled immediately along the entire length, folding it with an "accordion".
After that, slightly rotate the handle on the bed so that the stuffing passes into the nozzle. Then the edge of the intestine is pulled a little forward and tied into a knot. You can also use a lace or thick thread. Next, the actual stuffing is performed. Once the entire intestine is full, it is removed from the nozzle and tied on the other side. After that, the resulting long sausage can be divided into sectors, twisting the shell in several places.
How much is a syringe
The price of sausage equipment of this type depends mainly on its size. Models with a three-dimensional camera, designed for a large number of stuffing, are more expensive. Syringe for hand sausages 3 liters or 5 - cheaper. In general, the price of such models ranges from 9-12 thousand rubles. Compared to electric models, this cost may not be considered particularly high. Even not too large structures that work from the network cost from 150 thousand rubles.
Small models
If for some people a real manual syringe for stuffing sausages on a bed seems too expensive, you can buy a small filler of a simple design instead. Such equipment costs only about 2000-2500 rubles. The cylinder in mini-models is installed horizontally on a small metal stand, and the handle is located on the lid of the camera. Nozzles for mini-syringes are usually made not of stainless steel, but of food plastic. Of course, such a model will not differ in performance too much. The chamber for mini-syringes is usually designed for no more than 1.5 kg. However, for home use, a model of this type can still be a very good option.
Syringe Reviews
Despite the fact that equipment of this type appeared on the Russian market not too long ago, the opinion of Russian consumers on it has already developed quite well. Both the owners of specialized workshops and ordinary housewives speak well of simple hand-held syringes for sausages. Stuffing the shell with minced meat with their use, of course, is much more convenient than in a meat grinder. Many people think that the process of making sausage with such equipment turns into a real pleasure. Unlike a meat grinder with nozzles, syringes, judging by the reviews, never get clogged. But they work much faster, and the sausages themselves, prepared with their use, turn out to be very high-quality - dense, mouth-watering and without voids.
Thus, syringes for making sausages can be considered equipment very convenient and useful. Using them is extremely simple. Of course, the price of solid models is relatively high. However, those who want to cook sausages, sausages and sausages at home more often and comfortably should still consider buying a syringe.
