Energy efficiency is becoming a decisive factor in the packaging industry, especially against the backdrop of rising energy costs and increasing environmental regulations. With the introduction of the ICA 4.3, Poly-clip System has taken a step to reduce energy consumption in production. The new double clipper expands the company's Green Series and combines reduced power consumption with a service-friendly design.
The ICA 4.3 is characterised by an electrical power consumption of only 417 watts at full load, representing a reduction of 10.7 per cent compared to older models. This increase in efficiency is achieved through the use of modern drive and control technology, which not only lowers energy consumption but also simplifies machine maintenance. The One-Cable-Technology (OCT) used reduces cabling effort and simplifies the system structure. By integrating various functions, the number of required components also decreases. The simplified system structure reduces technical complexity and facilitates service and maintenance work.
Economical and resource-friendly
Food manufacturers can thus design their production processes to be not only more economical but also more resource-efficient. The documented energy savings of the ICA 4.3 could also be of interest to companies with regard to government funding programmes.
„With the ICA 4.3, we are combining resource efficiency and economic viability with a high degree of user-friendliness. The further developed machine architecture reduces power consumption, simplifies maintenance work and supports our customers in aligning their production processes efficiently in the long term.“

The increased torque and a reinforced conveyor belt simultaneously expand the application range of the ICA 4.3. This means the machine is also designed for larger product formats and higher product weights. The harmonised drive architecture supports stable processes and high process reliability.
Hygienic design
Hygiene has also been consistently considered for use in food production. A servo motor with a smooth surface facilitates cleaning in hygienically sensitive production environments. As the motor and gearbox are structurally separate, individual components can be specifically replaced during maintenance or service work.
The ICA 4.3 is part of Poly-clip System's Green Series. With this product line, the company consolidates machine developments that contribute to more sustainable food production through reduced energy and resource consumption. The combination of low power consumption, service-friendly design, and modern control systems supports food manufacturers in lowering operating costs and aligning their production for long-term efficiency and future security.
