MECHANICAL FEATURES
GENERAL INFORMATION
•AMF Stringline for the production of 3,375 of 19 oz. strings of dough up to 26” long
•Infeed Synchronizing Conveyor
•Pressure Board/Moulding Section (C/W Flour Duster)
•Proofer Section (C/W Flour Duster and Two Exhaust Fans)
•
•Three Stages Moulding Section (C/W Two Dough Extenders)
•Liftable Club Roll Cutting Section
•Transfer Conveyor
Synchronizing Conveyor
•For proper timing of the dough balls into the moulder (controlled by photo eye)
•Double eliminator logic
•Constructed of formed stainless steel with UHMW side wedges
•Powered by a hollow shaft gear brake motor
Moulder Section
•Stainless steel frame
•Air operated lifting device permits:
•Flour sifter
•Pneumatic pressure board
Common Drive
•Proofer drive is protected by an electronic over torque meter against catastrophic damage
Proofer
•4.5 min. of proofing time at 3,375 pieces per hour
•Stainless steel tubular construction
•Stainless steel paneling
•Upper horizontal section with sliding plexi glass panels
•Teflon® coated and pneumatically controlled dropping gates with separate timing values
•Adjustable flour duster located above the double dropping gates
•Proofer trays are made of rolled aluminum, plastic end brackets, and sandblasted to a coarse finish
•Proofer chain is 40 mm extended pitch over size rollers
•Over sized hub sprockets
•Horizontal sections of the proofer have angle iron chain guides
and rails to tilt to one side (this helps to reduce sticking in the trays)
•Strings are transferred from the trays to the discharge conveyor without dropping
•Discharge conveyor is stainless steel construction and is driven from by the proofer chain
STRING KING
Centering Device
•To bring the string of dough back to the center of the moulding conveyor
•Built on a stainless steel frame with an aluminum based plate
•Conveyor section is built from stainless steel side plates with an adjustable UHMW bed for proper tensioning of the stainless steel balanced weave mesh conveyor belt
•Driven by a flange mount gear motor using a belt drive system
•Centering is accomplished by a multi element infra red light beam source and receiver, processor, servo controller, and linear actuator
Three Stages Moulding Section
•String moulding section consists of a moulding conveyor with two powered extender pressure boards made up of two conveyors at 90 degrees to the moulding conveyor
•Extender pressure boards have rough top conveyor belt and travel to the outside of the moulding conveyor very slowly causing the dough string to extend with very little stress. In addition there is a standard pressure board with universal side guides
•Moulding conveyor is constructed of stainless steel with an adjustable speed gear motor
•Adjustable infeed roller for tracking
•(2) two pressure boards supplied with the stringline. One pressure board is for final moulding of strings to full length. The second pressure board has a slot in the middle, where a stationary knife is
located to split long strings into two rounded end loaves
Club Roll Cutting Section
•Cut blunt end rolls and transport the elongated strings to the next step in the process
•Constructed of stainless steel and a flat top Intralox conveyor belt
•Driven by a fixed speed gear motor
•Stainless steel side panels
•Rotary timing flaps at the infeed end to keep the string straight and evenly spaced from each other
•Flaps are driven from a gear motor and controlled from a signal from the common drive
•Slip clutch on the flaps to prevent injury
•Machine comes with one set of cutting devices with 4 knives
•Cutting device is constructed of stainless steel
Transfer Conveyor
•To transfer the loaves or rolls from the Club Roll Cutter next step in the process
•Inverter controlled
•Pneumatic Teflon coated infeed flaps
•Powered transfer roller to ease the transfer of the loaf between two conveyors
