Stations
Pallet conveyor
- Straight feed
- Lateral feed
- Feed via rotary plate
- Connection to automatic transport systems
Starch tray loader with destacker
- The pallets with tray stacks are transported automatically into an unloading position of the loader.
- Both chains running right and left in the frame guides, are fitted with grippers
- In each cycle one pair of grippers catches a stack of up to 7 starch trays.
- The starch trays are taken out by a lift latch device from the starch tray pack and put into the transport system of the Mogul plant.
- Maximum stacking height is 3300 mm.
Starch buck, tray tipping and depowdering device
- Starch tray tipper. 360° turning unit in 2 working strokes, thus giving the trays enough time to be emptied even at high working speeds.
- Integrated product outlet conveyor, placed across the plant’s running direction and delivering the products at wish to the operator’s side or to the drive side.
- Screw conveyors transporting the starch powder from under the tipping unit into the starch tray filling station respectively to the starch conditioning unit possibly connected to the Mogul plant.
- Extractable sifting station
- Sifting unit with upper sieve for separation of the products from starch powder and lower sieve for cleaning of starch powder driven by frequency-controlled eccentric motors.
- The complete sifting unit and product cleaning unit can be extracted laterally from the basic machine for maintenance and/or cleaning purposes.
- Pneumatic product pre-cleaning unit is integrated in the sifting unit.
Starch tray filling and printing section
- Circulating conveyor device (conveyor screws) which is transporting and uniformly spreading the starch powder into the tray. Excess powder is recirculated.
- Starch powder compression by adjustable blades.
- Servo-electrically controlled stamping operation with tray cleaning.
Depositors
- Multiple-stroke depositors
- One-Stroke Mono depositors
- One-Stroke One-Shot depositors
- One-Stroke Starlight with filling depositors
- Depositors laterally extractable
- Depositors in “EasyClean” execution
Stacker with part stacker
- The starch trays are taken out by a lift handle device from the chain and put on top of one another in the magazine.
- Afterwards the tray stack is taken by a pair of grippers and repositioned onto the pallet.
