Automatic clip removal from sausage sticks before slicing, peeling, loading or packaging. Designed for clean clip cutting, casing protection and stable downstream processing.
The automatic sausage declipper is designed for removal of aluminum clips from sausage sticks before further slicing, peeling, loading or packaging. The machine cuts clips in a fixed product position, helping protect the casing from damage and keeping the product ready for downstream processing.
A preset number of sausage sticks is fed step by step into the cutting zone. The modular system moves over the product from both sides: clips are clamped, positioned and cut with a specially designed blade. This method helps maintain casing integrity and provides a clean, controlled cut.
Depending on the configuration, the machine can process up to 120 sticks per minute. It is especially suitable for dry-cured and dry-smoked sausages, where careful handling and clean clip removal are important.
Clean Clip Removal Without Casing Damage The main purpose of the machine is to remove clips without damaging the sausage casing or leaving aluminum particles in the product flow.
— No aluminum shavings or particles after clip cutting — Full clip-presence control: clip present, no cut; clip absent, cut — Special length-difference compensation system — Clip collection system for cleaner operation — Automatic feeding of sausage sticks into the cutting zone — Stable preparation before slicing, peeling, loading or packaging
Key Features — Modular construction with adjustable speed — Output capacity from 35 to 120 sticks per minute, depending on configuration — Safe clip removal in a static product position — Automatic movement of cutting modules from both sides — Reduced manual handling and less operator contact with the product — Compact design for integration into existing sausage processing lines — Open design for easier cleaning and maintenance
Why This Machine Matters in Production
Automatic Clip Cutting for Sausage Processing Lines
— Reduces manual work in clip removal — Helps prevent casing damage before slicing or peeling — Improves hygiene by reducing direct contact with the product — Supports stable product flow to downstream equipment — Helps avoid “flying” clips and uncontrolled manual cutting — Can be adapted to different capacities through modular configuration — Can be integrated into automatic sausage cutting, peeling, loading and packaging lines
Suitable for:
— dry-cured sausages — dry-smoked sausages — sausage sticks with aluminum clips — products requiring careful handling before slicing, peeling or loading — industrial sausage processing and packaging lines
The machine configuration is selected according to product size, clip position, required capacity and further processing stage.

FAQ
The Akkurat 40+ is designed for automatic clip removal from sausage sticks in a static position. The machine is used in the product preparation stage for packaging and reduces the risk of casing damage.
The sausage sticks are fed step by step into the cutting zone, where the modular system moves over them from both sides. The clips are clamped, gently pulled away, and cut off with a special mechanism, ensuring no damage to the casing.
It ensures accuracy, eliminates aluminum shavings, prevents casing damage, reduces labor costs, and minimizes the risk of production defects.
The sensor system “detects” the clip — the knife only activates after the clip has completely moved out of the action zone, preventing contact with the metal and ensuring no product damage.
The clipper is suitable for boiled, boiled-smoked, raw-smoked, and dry-cured sausage sticks in natural or artificial casings.
No, the modular system is adapted for different sausage stick lengths. The machine operates consistently even with size variations.
Yes, the output capacity is adjustable by the number of cutting modules. If needed, the line can be upgraded without changing the entire system.
The machine is compatible with additional equipment: a singalizer, side cutter, and an automatic sausage stick placement system for the packaging machine.
For the basic version, one operator is required. All actions are automated and controlled from the panel.
