Sausage filling line for adjustable portions

Achieve precision in high-speed sausage production with rapid casing changes and optimized portion control.

Fills, Portions, Links, and Separates Sausage Products

The PVLS 125 Plus AL system from Handtmann is engineered to enhance sausage production efficiency with its versatile filling and linking capabilities. Featuring advanced EtherCAT technology, this system minimizes non-production times with a revolutionary casing change mechanism that operates in under 2 seconds. It serves a broad range of applications from sausages to bakery products. The system ensures precise portioning through its dual belt separation process, maintaining equal portion lengths and weights, crucial for packaging operations. Operating seamlessly within continuous high-speed production lines, it integrates a parallel voider for gentle processing of natural casings. Customizable in a range of calibres from 13 to 40 mm, the PVLS 125 Plus AL system also offers a choice of additional equipment like casing spooling devices and linking nozzles to suit specific production needs. Maintenance is simplified with an ergonomic design and optional CIP systems, while integration into your existing line is facilitated by its digital solutions and inline grinding system.
