Automated clipped netting system for meat packaging

In the meat processing industry, manually clipping and netting products can be labor-intensive and prone to inconsistencies. Automation provides a solution to improve efficiency and hygiene, especially critical in environments needing to minimize human contact for safety reasons.

Enhance packaging efficiency and hygiene

The TIPPER TIE TN3004 by JBT is an advanced clipped netting system designed for high-speed and reliable meat packaging. This system operates with high torque multi-pole motors instead of traditional pneumatic motors, reducing the need for compressed air and enhancing control over the process. Capable of handling up to 12 pieces per minute, the TN3004’s modernized conveyor system minimizes unnecessary wear. Its innovative I-beam frame and all sheet metal construction allow better access for cleaning, eliminating areas that could harbor microbial growth. Additionally, the system’s sophisticated labeling software, incorporating Sigma IPC and LabelPak, allows for efficient order management and real-time production data. Automation extends to handle making and double-clipping, with the option for a built-in printer or tagger, thereby further reducing labor demands and improving consistency.
