Kronen introduces 'Recipe Weighing Belt'
It scores with following advantages:
• very simple operability via touch panel and foot switch
• easy and safe preparation of recipe mixtures, e.g.
100 kg Iceberg,
30 kg Lollo Rosso,
25 kg carrot strips and
25 kg cabbage slices
• easy cleaning due to open and hygienic stainless steel construction (the belt can simply be declamped and removed sideways)
99 recipes with up to 10 product components can be stored via touch panel. For each component, the desired target weight can be stored in the recipe.
The current weight of the component and also the achievement of the target weight is indicated to the operator by light signals and the display on the touch panel. The operator confirms the weight by a stable foot switch and immediately receives the weight of the next component. According to the weight of the last component, the product is discharged to the left or right by pressing the foot switch. As soon as the belt is empty the next batch can be weighed.
The belt is equipped with a tap framework, which allows to completely empty the crates with the raw materials. This tapping frame is decoupled from the weighing belt. The software offers an inverted weight option, so that the operator can start the next batch of the last component of the previous batch. This avoids unnecessary ways.
Another feature allows to define a total quantity for the selected recipe. After reaching this total quantity the weighing belt stops and a new recipe must be selected.
The recipe weighing belt can be operated in two basic modes. In the first mode the contents will be transferred to a slope conveyor allowing a quasi continuous flow in a processing line of the batch process of the weighing belt thanks to special settings. The second mode allows to combine the weighing belt with a slope conveyor for transferring for example the mixture into a following GEWA washing machine or to a packagaging line.
The weighing function is carried out by 4 stainless steel bending beam type load cells.
