Poly-clip System unveils integrated solution for enhanced sausage safety and traceability

As the food craft sector faces increasing pressure to balance artisanal quality with rigorous safety standards, Poly-clip System has introduced a combined clipping and labelling solution designed to automate workflows for small and medium-sized manufacturers.

By integrating the PDC-A 700 automatic double clipper with the ES 6000 labelling system, the company offers a streamlined production process that simultaneously addresses labour shortages and the growing demand for digital transparency.

The foundation of this integrated approach is the PDC-A 700, an electropneumatic double clipper capable of handling calibres up to 115 millimetres. The machine is engineered for extreme versatility, allowing producers to switch quickly between plastic, fibrous, and delicate natural casings through simple retooling.

Beyond its flexibility, the unit prioritizes operator safety with a two-hand activation system for the first clip, while its hygienic design features inclined surfaces and smooth components to simplify cleaning and reduce operational downtime.

The ES 6000 labelling system extends the functionality of the clipper by enabling direct product identification during the sealing process. This eliminates the need for a separate, secondary labelling stage, as the system applies tamper-proof labels containing essential data such as batch numbers, manufacturer details, and best-before dates.

Utilising water-based, food-safe ink, the ES 6000 can be controlled via mobile devices or PC to generate dynamic QR codes and barcodes, providing a robust digital trail for every item that leaves the production line.

For small and medium-sized businesses, this combination represents a significant step forward in operational efficiency. By merging quality assurance, hygiene, and traceability into a single automated step, manufacturers can ensure total compliance with food safety regulations while redeploying their skilled personnel to more specialised tasks. This integrated solution ensures that even smaller artisanal producers can maintain a competitive edge through modernised, safe, and fully traceable manufacturing workflows.
