FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions for Vemag Link Stuffer TM-203

Production Capacity and Speed

What is the maximum cutting speed?

The TM203 can reach between 1,200 and 1,500 cuts per minute depending on the product length and casing type. , with some configurations reaching up to 1,500 cuts per minute depending on the specific sausage length and casing texture.

Can it keep up with high-speed stuffers?

Yes, it is engineered for direct line integration. It can be perfectly synchronised with VEMAG vacuum fillers and high-speed length portioning machines (like the VEMAG LPG208) to create a fully automated, continuous production work flow.

Capabilities and Restrictions

What is the minimum sausage length it can handle?

The machine can reliably guide, pinch, and slice sausages starting at a minimum length of 40 mm.

Does it work with natural casings?

Yes, the TM–203 is designed to process all casing types, including delicate natural sheep or hog casings, as well as collagen and cellulose/artificial casings, without tearing.

Can it separate curved or bent sausages?

Yes, the dynamic geometry of the feed and guide belts enables the machine to handle and cleanly slice curved sausage goods (like traditional ring sausages or curved breakfast links).

Precision and Calibration

How do you adjust the exact cutting position?

The line operator inputs the precise cutting position directly into the onboard cutting computer/PC on the machine.

This micro-adjusts the timing of the blade rotation relative to the speed of the transport belts.

How does it prevent open or leaking ends?

Parallel feed and discharge belts firmly clamp the sausage immediately before and after the twist-link.

This displacement forces the meat / sausage filling away from the link point, ensuring a clean cut that leaves a perfectly centered, closed, and pinched sausage end.

Hardware and Maintenance

What type of blade does it use?

The machine uses an easily accessible blade box housing a specialised triple sickle-shaped blade system.

By splitting the workload across three rotating blades, the system achieves maximum cutting speeds with minimal wear per blade.

What are the power/voltage requirements?

Commercial configurations for industrial plants typically require a 3-phase electrical connection, operating at 220V / 440V or 380V / 440V at 50/60 Hz.
