Quick guide from the manual
The Avantco 177BMSCM is a manual sausage clipping machine designed for clipping bags and sausage casings. Before operating, ensure the machine is stable on a flat surface.

Parts Identification
- Handle: Used to operate the clipper mechanism.
- Clipper: The main clipping assembly.
- Clipping Point: The area where the bag or casing is placed for clipping.
- Weighted Loading Block: Holds the clips in place on the rods.
- Clip Holder Rods: Guides for the clips.
Operation
- Remove the weighted loading block from the machine.
- Place the clips between the clip holder rods, ensuring the opening of the clips is facing away from the machine.
- Place the weighted loading block back in its original position between the clip holder rods and above the clips.
- Position the bag or casing that needs to be clipped at the clipping point.
- Apply pressure to the handle to move the clipper and secure the bag or casing.
Note: The tightness of the sausage after clipping depends on the size and thickness of the casing. Adjust the stop screw clockwise to loosen and counter-clockwise to tighten according to the casing diameter.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Wash all parts thoroughly with warm, soapy water. A long bristle brush is recommended for cleaning. Rinse with clear water, sanitize as necessary, and dry thoroughly before storage. Any metal parts must be coated with a food-safe silicone spray to prevent rusting.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, refer to the following:
- Nail is stuck: Check if the weighted loading block is positioned correctly or if there are insufficient clips on the slide.
- Handle cannot be pressed: Clean the inside of the machine and check for loose or damaged screws.
- Pressing is laborious: Clean debris in the mold groove and add lubricating oil. If issues persist after a year, swap or replace the lower mold.
