Sausage linking and portioning solution

Optimize your sausage production with precise linking, hanging, and cutting technology designed to enhance efficiency, yield, and product consistency across diverse applications, from fresh and cooked sausages to plant-based alternatives.

The LPG218 Sausage Length Portioning Device from VEMAG Maschinenbau GmbH is engineered to deliver precise sausage linking and portioning for cooked sausages in food production lines. It stands out for its capability to achieve high weight accuracy and consistent sausage lengths at a rapid portioning speed of up to 2,200 portions per minute, maximizing casing yield. Designed to handle cellulose, collagen, and polyamide casings, the LPG218 integrates seamlessly with upstream and downstream equipment such as vacuum filling machines and automated hanging systems, allowing for smooth transitions in production lines. This device is semi-automatic, enhancing productivity and reducing manual labor requirements. Durable materials ensure long-term operation, while its compact design allows easy installation in both industrial and small-scale operations.
