The TagMatic Evo
The TagMatic Evo makes it easy to apply eartags on piglets. The device has been developed in
such a way that the MS Schippers chain ear tag can be inserted fully automatically and
ergonomically. This prevents injuries and saves valuable time.
The TagMatic consists of a stainless steel casing with a POM core. The drive and control of all
components is pneumatic.
The TagMatic is connected to the BIZA. This is equipped with a main switch with which the pressure
on the TagMatic can be switched on and off. This way the device is immediately ready for use. The
TagMatic is also equipped with an emergency stop. When this stop is pressed, it switches off all
systems of the TagMatic.
Components of the TagMatic
When using the TagMatic, it is important to know the function of a number of important
components. This makes it possible to work (safely) with the device and contributes to the proper
maintenance of the device.

Maintenance
Efforts were made to develop the TagMatic Evo in a way that as little maintenance as possible is
needed. However, the knives that cut through the ear tags are subject to wear and tear and must
be replaced. How often replacement is needed depends on the ear tags used, the intensity of use
and the environmental conditions. As a rule of thumb, if the ear tags are jagged or no longer cut
at all, the knives must be replaced.
Knife replacement for male chain
The knife for cutting the male eartags is in the knife holder which is mounted on the cylinder. To
replace the knife, the entire device can be taken off the TagMatic. Figure 6 shows the cutting
device used to cut off the male tag.
Step 1: Always release the pressure from the system by pressing the emergency stop!
Step 2: Disconnect the air hoses (pay close attention to which colour is where).

Step 3: Loosen the 2 screws using an Allen spanner and an open-end spanner and remove the
cutting device. (See figure 7)
Step 4: Use an Allen key to remove the screws from the knife holder and remove the knife (see
figure 8).
Step 5: Place the new knife in the knife holder as shown in the figure. Put the locking plates in
place and tighten the Allen bolts so that the knife can no longer move.
Step 6: Put the cutting device back in place as shown in figure 9. Keep the back of the cylinder
flush with the holder. Secure the cylinder with the hexagon socket screws, washers and lock nuts.
Step 7: Connect the hoses as shown in Figure 9. Pay close attention to the colour!

Step 1: Remove the nuts and hexagon socket head screws shown in Figure 10.
Step 2: Pull the entire cutting device from underneath the TagMatic and disconnect the hoses as
soon as you can. Pay close attention to which colour of hose is where!
Step 3: Pull the cylinder out completely. Unscrew the back Allen screw completely from the cylinder
and only loosen the front screw (see figure 11).
Step 4: Pull the key plate forward and turn the knife holder so that the flat sides of the cylinder rod
fall into the recess. Now the knife holder can be loosened (green) or tightened (red).
Step 5: When the knife holder is unscrewed, the locking plate will go down and the knife can be
slid out from the side (figure 13).

Step 6: Slide a new knife into the holder and hold the locking plate upwards to hold the knife in
place. Now turn the knife holder back onto the cylinder (figure 12 and step 4) and the knife will
lock into place again.
Step 7: Slide the key plate back, pull out the piston rod and tighten the hexagon socket head
screws again (figure 11).
Step 8: Push the air hoses into the correct coupling. Green hose in the upper coupling, red hose in
the lower coupling. Slide the entire cutting device back into the TagMatic and secure it with the
Allen screws, washers and locking nuts (figure 10).
Adjusting the knife for male ear tags
The adjustment of the knife is important for the proper functioning of the TagMatic. During the
production of the TagMatic, these are properly adjusted. However, it is possible that after replacing
the knives or in the event of a recurring malfunction, the blade may have to be adjusted again.
First of all, it is important to know that the male parts are not completely cut off from the chain. The
eartags are cut through by the knife for about 80%. (see figure 14)
The last part with which the eartags are still attached to each other ensures that the eartags do not
slip during throughput. When punching, the eartags are pulled apart from each other by the punch
nipple.
Adjusting the step-by-step plan
Step 1: The knife holder mounted on the cylinder is secured with a nut.
This must be unscrewed (figure 15).
