The powerful clip machines, along with advanced packaging and automation solutions, cater to various applications—including meat, poultry, cheese, plant-based products, pet food, and more. This versatility makes them indispensable in the food and beverage packaging industry.
Trade visitors will have the opportunity to explore the extensive portfolio of this packaging specialist. The offerings range from handheld machines to high-performance automatic clippers and fully integrated systems for process optimization. Notably, the fair will also highlight automation solutions that significantly reduce labor costs, demonstrating the innovation driving the food and beverage packaging sector.
Whether for snack formats or sausage sticks, visitors to the Poly-clip booth will discover tailored solutions suitable for businesses of all sizes in the food processing industry. The focus will be on powerful clip machines and automation solutions that not only enhance efficiency but also improve hygiene and safety.
In response to market needs, Poly-clip System offers new automatic solutions for casing reloading (ADNL) and smokehouse trolley loading (HSH 18), which set new benchmarks in sausage production automation.
At IFFA 2025, a groundbreaking solution will premiere: the ADNL machine for automatic casing reloading. This innovative technology streamlines casing changes and the removal of leftover casing with minimal personnel effort. Consequently, businesses can maximize efficiency in sausage production, allowing one operator to supervise multiple machines simultaneously. The ADNL ensures continuous production for up to two hours and is compatible with the FCA 120/160 and FCA 160 XL clip systems, further reducing machine downtime and enhancing production efficiency.
Poly-clip System will introduce the HSH 18, a revolutionary solution for the automatic loading of sausages onto smoke trolleys. This technology enables nearly man-less operation, placing sausages horizontally into smoke trolleys using intelligent camera recognition, and completely eliminates packaging ruptures.
The HSH 18 accommodates sausages weighing up to 18 kg and measuring up to 1,200 mm in length. It easily integrates into existing smoke trolleys, negating the need for new purchases. One operator can efficiently supervise multiple lines, significantly reducing labor costs and minimizing downtime. Overall, this fully automated machine bolsters efficiency, promotes automation, and decreases the physical strain on operating personnel.
Trade visitors at IFFA 2025 will also be impressed by other machines from Poly-clip System’s extensive product portfolio. Notable examples include:
TSCA 120 – Seal-Clip Machine for Secure and Sustainable Snack Packaging
The TSCA 120 from Poly-clip is an innovative seal-clip machine designed for the secure and sustainable packaging of snacks and other small portions. This machine facilitates PVDC-free packaging with an easy-opening tear strip and ensures a bacteria-proof seal through its advanced clip technology. Thanks to its cutting-edge sealing technology, fillable packaging made from composite films can be produced—ideal for snacks, sausages, ready meals, cheese, and other small portions. Utilizing flat film instead of shirred casing reduces material costs and enables nearly 100 times longer production runs without manual changeovers.
ICA – Ideal for Sausage Sticks
The ICA is an ideal machine for producing sausage sticks and formed products, such as ham, up to a caliber of 200 mm. Its innovative iris expander allows for the precise processing of products with short, symmetrical sausage shoulders. With an overspread of up to 300 mm and a throughput of up to 60 cycles per minute, the ICA offers a powerful, low-noise, and flexible solution suitable for various food processing applications.
FCA 160 XL – Automatic Quadruple Clipper
Poly-clip System presents the FCA 160 XL, an automatic quadruple clipper designed for processing heavy products up to 14 kg. Featuring an innovative quadruple-clip system (2+2), this machine sets new standards in holding force and effectively prevents clip slippage through a unique double-clip process.
The FCA 160 XL accommodates products with calibers ranging from 38 to 160 mm and achieves an impressive performance of up to 100 cycles per minute in 4-clip mode, which can increase to 160 cycles per minute in 2-clip mode. Equipped with two energy-efficient, synchronized servo drives, the FCA 160 XL provides stepless speed control, offering the perfect blend of flexibility, automation, and peak production performance. This machine is particularly well-suited for heavy sausages, roasts, and cheese products requiring a strong and secure seal.
