Automated clipped netting system for meat packaging

Enhance your packaging line with a system designed for rapid and precise netting and clipping, ensuring consistent quality and efficiency in meat and food processing operations.

Automates Netting, Clipping, and Packaging

The TIPPER TIE TN3004 Clipped Netting & Packaging System from Tipper Tie is engineered for efficiency and reliability in food packaging applications. It automates netting, clipping, and labeling processes, crucial for meat processing and packaging facilities. The TN3004 enhances production lines with a high-speed capacity of up to 12 pieces per minute, supported by its modern conveyor and electric feed system, which replaces pneumatic motors for reduced air requirements and higher control. This equipment significantly minimizes waste during operation, fostering a more sustainable packaging approach.

Applications range from ready meals and seafood to plant-based products and oils. Its robust stainless-steel construction provides superior resistance to corrosion and adheres to stringent hygiene standards, with an innovative design that facilitates easy cleaning. Featuring PLC-controlled automation with Sigma IPC and LabelPak for streamlined operational management, the system offers flexibility and precision through its automated handle maker and double-clipper mechanisms. The TN3004 comes equipped with options for an integrated printer or tagger, allowing real-time data printing, enhancing traceability, and effectively reducing operator intervention to optimize labor costs.

Benefits
