KDCMA Automatic Double Clipper

The KDCMA series is a fully automatic double clipping machine with a modular design. Basic and additional components are interchangeable within the model range, allowing the machine configuration to be tailored to a specific product, casing type, and production line setup. The machines handle natural, artificial, and fiber casings with a caliber of 25–120 mm, depending on the model. The equipment is used to produce raw, cooked, and portioned sausages, rings, chains, and loaves.

The manufacturer's current product page also lists a wider range of applications: minced meat and fish, surimi, vegetable products, cheese curds, sauces, soups, pet food, and other products suitable for packaging in flexible casings.

Clipping Technology

The clip closing zone uses single-action pneumatic cylinders, ensuring high speed with reduced air consumption.

Four displacement shields ensure accurate formation of product ends and allow processing of casings of various types and calibers. A movable, adjustable casing brake prevents over-tensioning and ensures precise portioning.

Control

The KDCMA is equipped with a touchscreen with memory for up to 50 production programs. The control system allows you to monitor and adjust key process parameters, including:

• Number of stops;
• Number of portions per minute;
• Product parameters;
• Machine system settings;
• Error log;
• Loop testing;
• Label testing;
• Filler start.

The interface is based on international pictograms and is designed for operator convenience.

Hygiene and maintenance

The machine is constructed of high-quality stainless steel. Sloping and smooth surfaces, wide-opening panels, and easy access to work areas facilitate sanitization and maintenance.

The machine has an approximately 10-degree tilt, providing the operator with a better view of the production area.

The valves are located on a retractable service bar and are identical, simplifying replacement and reducing the inventory of various components. Valve operation can be tested step-by-step through the control system.

* The range of clips and gauges used depends on the shell material.
