The JBT TIPPER TIE KDCMA machine is a modular, fully automatic clipper whose basic and accessory components are interchangeable. Every model can be easily optimized for the required application. These user-friendly and efficient machines handle natural, artificial, and fibrous casings for a variety of portioned food and non-food applications.


The TT automatic double clippers are the result of years of experience and systematic product development and represent the finest quality in modern closure technology. They process all familiar plastic, fibrous, and collagen casings, and connect to all conventional filling machines. Portions are sealed precisely without product residue in the casing ends for numerous food and non-food applications.
Table or bench clippers provide cost-effective closure of all kinds of products in casing, netting or bags. Choose from a variety of configurations and clip styles to meet your production requirements.

The successor to the GTR, the XTRs is capable of sealing 30 packs per minute with a two impression tool, without the need for compressed air. The all electric sealing creates a more consistent and efficient seal force with reduced energy usage and total running costs.

The user-friendly design includes integrated HMI with multi-language settings, recipe driven control and automatic tool lock. Quick release tooling enables the user to switch from one tray size to another in less than five minutes. The machine itself is fully portable with an automatic film-feed and is available with optional ‘free-flow’ gas flush, Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) to enable extended shelf life.
TIPPER TIE Clipper Vac Models TTVac-V and TTVac-H represent an unmatched blend of economy and market-proven dependability for air powered bagging and clipping vacuum packaging systems. The Clipper Vac line is well-suited for processors whose production needs do not require full automation, as well as high-volume producers looking to supplement automated systems during seasonal increases in demand. Applications such as poultry parts, whole birds, turkey breasts, red meats, smoked and processed meats, cook-in products, cheeses, and cook/chill are all packaged using the Clipper Vac.

The Marel Frank-A-Matic Linker LK 0400 series provides consistent performance, low operation costs, low cost of ownership, and flexibility in regards to the range of products that it can run.

The Treif Dicer is an innovative solution using robust cutting discs and grid sets to ensure accurate, reliable dicing of semi-frozen or deep-frozen meat, poultry, fish, and cheese down to -18°Celsius. While advanced software options provide optimal processing control with real-time data collection and full product traceability.
Versatile enough to suit any processing line, each solution maximizes throughput, minimizes giveaway, and improves yield. Available as a standalone solution or integrated with a Multihead Weigher for weight-accurate batching, all versions have a large chamber to reduce manual handling from pre-cut and can be loaded manually or automatically via a conveyor belt.
The easy-to-clean hygienic designs and ergonomics maximize hygiene and ensure efficient and accurate operation.

The Marel Townsend Skinner is a conveyorized Auto ThinAdjust Shoe Control skinner that can be used in heavy applications to remove skin and fat. A series of four buttons are used to automatically set the skinning thickness for a wide range of different sized products, e.g. rose meat, tri-tip, lean upgrade, sirloin, brisket, loin wings. These buttons replace the need to manually turn a T-handle to adjust the skinning depths and can be programmed to four unique skinning thicknesses to meet the customer’s growing needs.
- Available in two skinning widths
- “Line bored” cabinet creates a perfect alignment between tooth roll and skinning mechanism
- Shoe can remain on the machine during sanitation to prevent damage
- Single drive belt located on one side for easier maintenance
- Adjustable height exit conveyor is ideal for a multitude of production line layouts
- Hood assist to aid in opening and closing of the hood
- Auto ThinAdjust shoe control allows for skinning thickness to be adjusted while the machine is running with a push of a button
- Four programmable button settings for unique skinning thicknesses
- Open conveyor frames for easy maintenance and sanitation
- Low cost of ownership
- Easy to adjust spring top feed cylinders allows for optimal performance on many different products
