Automatic Clipping/Hanging Machine

FCHL

Top and PCS Exclusive Features

The star indicates features that you will only find at Poly-clip System.
  • No one else has it: 4-in-1 monoblock (clipping, loop setting, hanging, positioning)
  • No one else has it: Product damping for perfect positioning
  • Automatic Clipping/Hanging Machine for looped products
  • Efficiency increase thanks to a marked manpower reduction and higher throughput on the filling line
  • Calibre range 38 to 100 mm
  • Up to 100 loops per minute
  • High-precision product spacing for cooking, maturing etc.
  • Plug-and-play (no need to align clip machine/mount)

Why work with FCHL?

The FCHL ensures continuous production and therefore an increased output rate. The automatic double-clipper with integrated hanging line efficiently combines four processes in a way which saves on manpower: clipping with simultaneous looping, hanging the loop and positioning (suspension) on the smoke stick.

Function and operation

  • While the portion is closed with clips and the loop is set, a special finger takes the product loop directly from the separating area of the clipping machine and positions the product automatically on the smoke stick. When the stick is full, it is moved to the discharge buffer, while another empty stick is positioned for further loading. Meanwhile, the production is running continuously.
