Why clip with ICA?

The ICA is the ideal machine for large calibres and moulded products up to a calibre of 200 mm. Fibrous, collagen and plastic casings can be processed.

Function and operation

  • The ICA is connected mechanically to filling machines, including ham pumps and synchronized electrically. After the filler has discharged the portion, the iris separator powerfully encloses the casing and separates whole muscles without damage to the casing. The ICA is equipped with the tried-and tested clip distance of 51 mm.
  • The PC control allows a very fast and accurate signal processing. On the SAFETY TOUCH display the diagnostic system provides a direct and clear indication of the clipping machine’s operational status as well an analysis of filling and clipping times.
  • Deviations from the recipe parameters saved in SAFETY TOUCH are monitored.
  • The operator is intuitively guided through the flat menu structure of the SAFETY TOUCH by means of self-explaining pictograms. Operator, set-up and service levels are kept clearly separated and are password protected.
  • A continuous process monitoring is offered by the high degree of automation.
