Introduccion

• We are now taking about the process of the hot
  dog, that has not a real date of invention

1.Meat Processing

• The production of hot dogs begins with the
  preparation of meat. After it passes inspection,
  the incoming meat is cut into small pieces and
  placed in a stainless steel mixing container. The
  container is equipped with high-speed choppers,
  which can reduce the size of the meat pieces even
  further.

2. Linking

• After the batter passes quality control checks,
  it is pumped into an automatic stuffer/linker
  machine. In this machine, batter is put into
  tube-shaped, cellulose casings. These casing are
  then twisted at precise points to produce a long
  linked strand of equally sized hot dogs.

3. Cooking

• The linked hot dog strands are then conveyed to a
  large smokehouse. Here, they are thoroughly
  cooked under controlled conditions.

4.Final processing

• When the cooking is done, the hot dog links are
  moved via a conveyor to an automatic peeler.
  During their trip, they are showered with water
  to help equalize their internal temperature.

• From the peeler, the individual hot dogs are
  transported to the packaging machinery. Here,
  they are lined up and placed on a plastic film.
  The films are folded and vacuum-sealed to
  preserve the hot dog's flavor and increase shelf
  life. Printed on the films are all of the
  graphics and required text needed for marketing.
  The sealed packages are moved to a stamping
  machine, which prints on a freshness date. They
  are next transported to boxing devices, put on
  pallets and shipped in refrigerated trucks to
  local supermarkets.

Conclusion

• As we now know, the process of the hot dogs its
  a very long and complicated process that needs a
  very careful inspection of the grass in the meat.
  In terms of contamination, it affects when the
  machines are on.
