TCV table-top clippers are used wherever absolutely secure closure is needed. Sausage, poultry, game, mussels and clams as well as packaged fresh meat and cheese can be sealed with these machines. 

Our clippers in the TCV range continue to be perfectly suited for the preassembly of casings and the packaging of chemicals and other products in nets, bags and various casings.

This machine family is used in both large and small businesses. The robust equipment can be used for a number of different requirements. There is a wide range of applications. The following example applications show the universal use of the clip closure before, during or after the process.

Process packaging
• After clipping, a product is cooked or frozen. It can then be processed further or dispatched.
• A clipped net allows a product to be smoked with the required shape and surface structure.

Protective packaging 
• A product is provided with a protective casing for reasons of hygiene.
• Products are sent in thick protective bags.
• Products are temporarily stored and protected against dust.

Final packaging
• The sealed product enables an appealing presentation to customers. A range of labels, product shapes and colors of the packaging and sealing materials enable a large number of different product designs.

Standby machine
• With these machines, it is possible to react very flexibly to capacity peaks, re-working, downtimes of other lines or unexpected daily production levels.
• Speciality products can be packaged at low cost. 

Packaging material
• The TCVx06 range can be used for bags, nets and small artificial casings.
• The TCVx07 and the TCNV range can be used for bags, nets, small artificial casings and all other commercially available casings.
• The TCNV range can be used for natural, collagen, fibrous and artificial casings.
Advantages
• Low lifecycle costs due to robust design
• Service and maintenance costs are kept to a minimum
• The machine is compliant with the highest hygiene and safety standards
• High stability of the machine combined with very small footprint requirements
• The machine withstands the most rigorous permissible cleaning routines
• Hygienic design, smooth surfaces and stainless materials help to maintain the required operational cleanliness, quick and easy cleaning
• The flat clip is particularly suitable for sealing sensitive natural casings

Design
Table clippers from the TCV range are made of stainless steel and plastic and comply with the latest requirements for safety and hygiene defined in various standards. E.g. European Machinery Directive and Clipping Machine Standard EN13885.
Equipment Versions
• If the sausage is to be processed or presented while suspended, the loop feeder is used
• A knife ensures straight ends with a good appearance
• A maintenance unit ensures clean supply air at the correct pressure, thereby reducing maintenance costs
• Some models from the TCV range are available with a pivot­able air extraction unit. This unit is used to create a vacuum inside the bags to be sealed before the bags are pivoted over to the clipper and sealed.
• For special applications and liquid products, some TCV devices are available as horizontal versions.
• The TCV106 machine is available in a special version with a label feeder. It enables the printing of a label during the sealing process, which is then attached below the clip in a forgery-proof fashion.
