TIPPER TIE TTStick Automated Hanging Technology

Flexibility in production combined with a high degree of automation is what characterizes the new TTStick. With this machine, TIPPER TIE offers state-of-the-art suspension technology for an
even more efficient process. It is ideal for producing portioned or strings of sausages that need to be hung.

The TTStick safely and precisely suspends all sausages with plastic, fibrous, and collagen casings of calibers Ø 20–120 mm with a maximum sausage/string length of up to 800 mm. Depending on the product, it is capable of hanging up to 100 loops/minute on the smoking sticks.

The machine can now accommodate up to 26 empty smoking sticks in the magazine, while the customer can still decide between 3 different finished buffer sizes (8, 12 or 16 completed
sticks). This is how TIPPER TIE provides more customer flexibility.

The TTStick is connected to one of TIPPER TIE’s high-speed automatic clippers, either a TT1512 or TT1815. The loops are transferred directly from the automatic string loop feeder of the Double Clipper without any handling required. The string of sausages is then automatically precisely placed on the smoking stick by the TTStick.

The controls for both clipper and TTStick are managed by the clipper Human Machine Interface or HMI. Individual positioning of the string loops can be specified and saved in the recipe section of the HMI, saving time, and helping to achieve up to 25% higher utilization of the smoking stick (and subsequently the smoking trolley, cooking, or smoking chambers) leading to more production capacity as well as more efficient production.

A key aspect of this is the efficiency of the smoking stick replacement system, it is almost unbeatable. The TTStick has a servo driven smoke stick exchange instead of pneumatics, which allows more control over the smoke stick exchange with less noise and vibration. When the specified number of loops are precisely located onto the smoking stick, the now filled stick is ejected into a buffer in only 600 ms, and a new one is supplied from the magazine. This means uninterrupted production even at high speeds. The filled smoking stick is now ready to be moved to a rack or trolley either by the
operator or with an automatic system for even greater savings. Additionally, the full stick buffer has a safety stop which is activated as soon as the delivery table is full. A visual signal warns the operator in advance to help prevent unnecessary stoppage.

This all means that that the TTStick ensures high production with little down time while increasing the utilization of drying rooms and smoke houses, all with a minimum of operator interaction.

Easy handling, fast production, improved efficiency, and productivity: This is the result of the integration between the TIPPER TIE TTStick and the high-speed double clipper from TIPPER TIE.

To change the loops or clips, only the string loop housing needs to be opened. The TTStick does not have to be disconnected for that. To achieve even shorter downtimes, the double clipper is equipped with a parallel turret. This enables new casing to be added while the machine is running, and the casing change to take place without opening the upper section of the clip machine. This results in a casing change taking just a few seconds, leaving your production virtually uninterrupted.

Additionally, transportation and handling have been optimized as well. The TTStick is provided with wheels on the machine footing. This allows you to easily move the machine without additional
help.

TIPPER TIE’s TTStick is operated and controlled using the HMI from the TT1815 or TT1512 automatic double clipper this means the machines are perfectly integrated from a control’s standpoint. This gives the operator a very simple and clear overview of both machines and makes recipe management and product changes very easy.

This innovative operating system with easy-to-understand pictograms is also state-of-the-art in terms of efficiency. For example, the number of sausages per smoke stick and their distance/spacing can be set easily. An integrated large internal program memory ensures that many different programs can be stored without any problems, and any operators already familiar with the TT family of automatic clipping machines will easily learn the TTStick controls.

The controls themselves are driving maintenance-free servo motors in the TTStick to ensure fast, efficient, and repeatable operation.

New innovations have made the TTStick even more efficient and the operation smoother thanks to the elimination of pneumatic cylinders. TIPPER TIE’s TTStick is smart, efficient, reliable!

The TTStick is very easy to maintain and service. Smooth, stainless surfaces with a three percent gradient are design elements that allow fast, hygienic cleaning. An integrated safety control system monitors production. In the event of a machine error, the system stops the line, and the TTStick, clipper, and stuffer go into standby mode. Imminent maintenance work is communicated to the operator on the touch screen, and interactive graphics help display potential faults and error sources so the machine can be rapidly put back into service.

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.

• 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.

The TT automatic double clippers are the result of many years of experience and systematic product development. All familiar plastic, fibrous and collagen casings from caliber 35–140 mm (TT1815) and 20–80 mm (TT1512), can be cleanly and efficiently closed. Fast conversion to a different clip pitch (from 12 to 15 mm or from 15 to 18 mm) enables individual use and increases flexibility of the caliber range.

The TT automatic double clippers can be connected to all conventional filling machines. They seal the portions precisely to produce individual, string, and ring sausages without product residue in the casing ends. This modern closure technology is also used for many applications outside of the food industry, e.g. for packaging semi-finished confectionery products, cheese, soups or non-food products.

Technology
The electronic clip closure force monitor “NewCon” (Newton Con­trol) prevents machine damage in the case of incorrect operation. If the set threshold value of the closing force is reached, the safety system is triggered and it stops the machine. The “NewCon” is a safety system which increases production reliability many times over. The clip closure height can be set consistently. The effective clip closing force is shown on the display.

The whole machine is completely stainless. All drive levers are made of stainless cast steel. Voiding is carried out via a cam disk. The cam roller is controlled both when opening and closing. The clip closure lever is moved via rim cams. These design solutions provide the TT automatic double clippers with a long service life and minimum wear.

For maintenance work, the clip cam can be manually controlled via the touch screen. The parameters for knife and tool changes as well as the cleaning position can also be called up via the touch screen.
Control
The TT double clippers are equipped with a maintenance-free servo drive and a PLC control. The machine is operated via a touch screen. This modern operating system with graphical visualization and alphanumeric plain text display in many languages leaves nothing to be desired in terms of convenience, hygiene and efficiency. These clippers are now available with TipperVision suite of connected solutions to maximize your productivity.

Hygienic Design
The TT automatic double clippers offer a maximum of maintenance- and service-friendliness. Smooth, stainless surfaces without bolt heads or corners where dirt can accumulate and horizontal surfaces with a 3° incline are design elements that allow fast, hygienic cleaning. The valves, drive and control are hermetically sealed against water and dirt by covers.

TC4357 Single Clipper

TC4357 is the perfect automatic clipper for use in the meat processing industry for stuffing raw and scalded sausage, sectioned and formed products, cooked ham and pressed meat into fiber or artificial casings. The short product path of TC4357 guarantees an optimum cutting surface. An effective triplet turret enables quick cas-ing changes, especially with longer casing sections. The ergonomic design facilitates your work. Consecutively running operations, such as stuffing, gathering, clipping and swivelling, can be defined efficiently. The electronic memory enables structured product data reproduction and administration. A microprocessor controls the pneumatic drive.

The KDCMA series is a fully automatic machine in modular design. The basic and add-on components of these stainless steel clipping machines are exchangeable throughout the entire series, which means that each model can be easily optimized to suit the desired application in each case. A table-top machine – ideal as an entry-level model for the craft business – grows with the production process: Due to the use of an optional roller frame and other equipment options such as the automatic looper, thread dispenser, spool clip, and further similar items, this model is turned into a high-performance clipping solution that can be combined with virtually any stuffer for production processes in trade and industry.

Natural, artificial, and fiber casings in the gauge range of 25–120 mm are processed as raw, cooked, and boiled sausages into portion sausages, sausage rings, sausage chains, and stick sausages, which run out in a discharge tray or on different roller conveyors. The movable, adjustable casing brake prevents casing overload and ensures portion-precise stuffing. Handling, conversion, cleaning, and maintenance are ideal. The machines have wide-opening hoods and are easy to inspect thanks to the inclined position at an angle of 10 degrees; beyond that, the machines can be swiveled.

The components are made of stainless steel, inclined surfaces, and a new design with free-hanging matrix plates that meet the highest hygiene requirements. In the case of the fully automatic machine KDCMA, ultramodern touch-screen technology takes the user to the desired settings.

Flexibility, High Performance.

• Caliber range: 25-120 mm
• Continous operation with touch screen control and up to 50 stored programs
• Comprehensive range of accessories

The new SVU6800 is the culmination of years of success with the RS line of high-performance automated double clippers. The SVU6800 is designed for versatility and dependability and is the ideal clipper machine for difficult to run whole muscle and large products, heavy hung smoked or dried sausages, and salami. 

All known casings and nettings are accommodated including difficult to run spiced casings. The SVU6800 is also compatible with every pumping system on the market. From meat and poultry to dairy products and even commercial explosives, the SVU6800 can produce any product within the specified range.

By benchmarking the SVU6800 for versatility and power, and leveraging the efficient mechanical design of the SV4800 and DCSV5000, TIPPER TIE has raised the bar for large clipping machines. 

The SVU6800 can accommodate products in a range from 50-200mm in diameter and can be equipped with an optional slack-fill for up to 300mm of additional air-free overspreading. The SVU6800 is fast with a start-stop speed of up to 65 pieces/minute.

The clip closing system of the SVU6800 has a simulated cushion function for sensitive casings and an overload protection to prevent machine damage in the event of improper operation.  The SVU6800 utilizes either the exceptionally strong ZR400 series clips (providing security for mid-sized to large products and the thickest casings) OR it can be equipped to use the E400 series clip (the ideal clip for mid-sized and large heavy hung products). 

The available looper is capable of achieving 45 loops per minute and can be set up as either a first tie side or second tie side to accommodate any floor layout. A typical clipper clips only one string of loop (loop first) but the SVU6800 can hang heavier products by utilizing the BF series loops available in 3 and 4 ply configurations and the knot first loop application under the clip. 
The optional PRK 2 horn turret is another productivity-enhancing option. The parallel turret will significantly reduce the time it takes to change casing increasing daily throughput. 

JBT TIPPER TIE provides the complete system for clip packaging: machines, clips, loops, and labels. Combined with worldwide support and service, customers profit from many hours of safe, uninterrupted production.
