YG-6 Sausage String Tying Machine

The YG-6 Sausage String Tying Machine is a fully automatic double-string tying unit built around an imported servo motor and PLC control system. Designed for commercial sausage production across natural, collagen, cellulose, and animal casings from Φ9 to Φ38 mm, it delivers ±1 mm tying length accuracy at up to 1,000 strings per minute — a throughput and precision combination that positions it firmly in the high-performance segment of the string tying category.

The servo drive system is at the core of what makes the YG-6 worth evaluating against comparable machines: servo-driven positioning eliminates the mechanical stop variation that causes tying length drift in cam-driven alternatives across a production shift. Once the tying length is set, it stays set — the servo feedback loop corrects for any deviation in real time rather than allowing tolerance accumulation across thousands of cycles. For operations where portion weight and link length accuracy are tracked and reported to retail buyers, this is the detail that makes the difference between compliance and re-work.

The machine body is fabricated from 304 stainless steel with a compact, well-proportioned structure designed for easy cleaning and long-term hygienic operation. The 7-inch IP67 waterproof touchscreen allows parameter adjustment without stopping the line, and the enclosed air-cooling system protects the internal drive components from the airborne fat particles and condensation that are routine in commercial sausage production environments.

Technical Specifications

The YG-6 operates at up to 1,000 strings per minute across individual sausage lengths from 30 to 500 mm and a casing diameter range of Φ9–Φ38 mm. Tying turns are adjustable from 2.5 to 3.5 per link — a range that covers the standard consumer presentations for fresh and cooked sausage across the global retail market.

The Servo Drive System: Why ±1 mm Accuracy Holds Across a Full Shift

The tying length accuracy specification of ±1 mm is meaningful only if it holds consistently across thousands of ties per shift, not just at the start of a run. The YG-6 achieves this through its imported servo drive system — a control architecture that actively corrects for positional error in real time, rather than accepting whatever mechanical tolerance a fixed-stop or cam-driven system accumulates over repeated cycles.

Servo Positioning vs. Cam-Driven Alternatives

In a conventional cam-driven tying machine, the tying length is set by a mechanical stop position that determines when the tying cycle reverses. Over repeated cycles at high speed, mechanical wear at the stop point introduces a small but cumulative error in tying length. The servo drive in the YG-6 replaces the mechanical stop with a closed-loop positional control: the motor encoder reports actual position at each cycle, and the controller corrects any deviation before the next cycle begins. The ±1 mm specification does not degrade across a shift.

Enclosed Air-Cooling for Drive Component Protection

The servo drive and control electronics in the YG-6 are protected by an enclosed cooling system that filters airflow before it contacts internal components. In a sausage production environment where airborne fat particles and steam are routine, unprotected electronics have a measurably shorter service life than protected equivalents. The enclosed cooling system gives the YG-6’s electronic components their rated service life under production conditions rather than in a clean laboratory environment.

IP67 Touchscreen for Wet Environment Operation

The 7-inch IP67-rated touchscreen allows operators to adjust tying length, tying turns, and production speed without stopping the line — and without concern about water or cleaning solution ingress during high-pressure hosing. IP67 means complete dust-tight sealing and resistance to temporary water immersion: the correct rating for a control panel in a HACCP-compliant meat processing environment where daily high-pressure washdown is standard practice.

Key Operational Features

Production Workflow: How the YG-6 Integrates on the Line

The YG-6 is a standalone tying unit that connects to the filling line downstream of the sausage filler. Understanding the workflow sequence helps production engineers plan the physical layout and the parameter coordination between the filler and the tying machine.

Applications: Who the YG-6 Is Built For

The YG-6 is positioned for commercial sausage producers who require both high throughput and consistent tying length accuracy — and who need that combination across a broad casing type range without separate machine configurations for each product. Operations producing for retail buyers with weight-compliance and presentation requirements are the primary application.

Retail Sausage Production with Weight Compliance

Retail sausage in pre-weighted packs is subject to weight marking compliance in most markets. Tying length directly determines link weight, which means tying accuracy is weight compliance accuracy. The YG-6’s ±1 mm consistency across a full production run gives quality managers confidence in compliance before product reaches the weighing station, rather than relying on post-production re-weigh-and-reject processes to catch out-of-spec links.

Multi-Casing Production Environments

The YG-6’s compatibility with natural, collagen, cellulose, and animal casings across the Φ9–Φ38 mm range means a single machine covers the full casing type range that a mixed-product sausage operation uses. Changeovers between casing types are parameter-level adjustments — tying length, turns, and speed — rather than mechanical changes to the tying station, which significantly reduces the per-changeover time cost in multi-variety production schedules.

Why Source the YG-6 from Our Factory

We manufacture and export the YG-6 from Shenhua Road, Hangzhou. The machine ships with full English-language documentation, factory acceptance testing, and a direct line to the engineers who built and tested it. No distributor margin, no third-party service layer — factory-direct pricing and direct commissioning support. Learn more at our About Us page.

Ordering & Line Integration

The YG-6 ships as a complete standalone unit. For buyers integrating it into an existing filling line, we provide dimensional drawings and the PLC interface specification for coordination with upstream filling machines and downstream hanging or packaging equipment. The servo drive system parameters are configured at the factory for your product specification — tying length, turns, and speed range are set and documented before the machine ships.
