Sausages and ham: every gram and every slice counts
Cooked sausage, salami, cervelat, cooked ham, smoked ham or bacon: your margin depends on a constant calibre, a tight closure and as little slicing loss as possible. A clip that does not close properly, a casing that bursts or a ham with an irregular shape costs you yield at the slicer and shelf life in the store.
SysmaTec supports you from spice mix to end product: filling, clipping, pressing, smoking, ripening and packaging. You get one point of contact for machines, consumables and service.

Frequently asked questions about sausages and ham
That depends on your calibre, casing type and volume. The range goes from manual clippers for artisan butchers to automatic double clippers (FCA series) and clipping/hanging machines (FCHL) for industrial lines. Together we look at your products and output and propose the right combination of machine, clips and casings.
In most cases, yes. Automatic Poly-clip System clippers are connected mechanically and electrically to the filling machine, which portions the product to the gram. We check in advance whether your filling machine is compatible.
Calibre, casing type (collagen, fibrous or plastic) and clip size must be matched. The wrong combination leads to leaking or burst casings. We advise you on Viskase casings and original Poly-clip clips in the right size.
Yes. Our second-hand machines are thoroughly tested and serviced before delivery, giving you a reliable machine for a lower investment.
