Sucuk and Sausage Packaging Machine
A sucuk packaging machine is a fully automatic line that places ring, stick or sliced sucuk (Turkish fermented sausage) into thermoformed packs and seals them under high vacuum. Vacuum protects fat and colour quality, slows oxidation and extends shelf life.
Why vacuum thermoform packaging for sucuk?
Sucuk is a fermented meat product with a high fat content. Contact with oxygen makes the fat go rancid and the colour fade. In a vacuum thermoform pack the air is removed completely, the film hugs the product and it keeps its first-day look on the shelf for longer.
The pack is formed in the machine to match the product: round dies for ring sucuk, long dies for stick sucuk and shallow dies for slices.
Sucuk and deli products that can be packed
The same line switches products by changing the die; Etrapack's drawer-type die system makes this change in minutes.
- Ring sucuk
- Stick (baton) sucuk

Is vacuum or MAP used for sucuk?
High vacuum is common for ring and stick sucuk. For slices, MAP can be used to keep slices apart and improve presentation. Etrapack machines run both methods.
Can ring and stick sucuk be packed on the same machine?
Yes. The line switches between ring, stick and sliced formats by changing the die, and the drawer-type die system does this in minutes.
What else can a sucuk packaging machine pack?
The same line can pack pastırma, salami, sausages, minced meat and meat cuts.
