5.4 GRANITA PRODUCTION

5.4.1 “COFFEÈ” GRANITA (crushed-ice drink)

In this production cycle it is possible to set and programme the processing time and not the consistency value as for the ice-cream automatic and semi-automatic production cycles.

-To switch to the GRANITA CAFFE’ function mode, press the STOP and PRODUCTION pushbuttons simultaneously. The SET led lights up to signal that the GRANITA mode is now active and the display visualises the last time value (expressed in minutes) which has been set manually.

-Press STOP () and CLEANING () pushbuttons to decrease or increase the processing time for the production of granita. Once the required value has been set, press DELIVERY () to confirm the programme and start the cycle.

The maximum programmable time is 10 minutes.

-During this cycle the compressor keeps on working without interruptions, while the agitator stops for 10 seconds and runs for half a second alternately. After the programmed time has elapsed, the PRODUCTION pushbutton blinks and an intermittent beep is released.

-Press the STOP pushbutton and deliver the product.

5.4.2GRANITA “SICILIANA” (Sicilian-style crushed-ice drink)

In this production cycle it is possible to set and programme the consistency values, exactly as the ice- cream semi-automatic production cycle.

- To switch to the GRANITA SICILIANA function mode, press the STOP and SEMI-AUTOMATIC pushbuttons simultaneously. The SET led lights up to signal that the GRANITA mode is now active and the display visualises the last consistency value which has been set manually.

- Press STOP () and CLEANING () pushbuttons to

decrease or increase the required consistency value (within a range between 120 and 180). After setting the required value, press the DELIVERY pushbutton () to confirm the programme and start the cycle.

The recommended value ranges between 140 and 160.

-During this cycle the compressor and the agitator keep on working without interruptions. Once the programmed consistency value has been reached, the SEMI- AUTOMATIC pushbutton blinks and an intermittent beep is released.

-Press the STOP pushbutton and deliver the product.

Equipped with a high-speed spindle that reaches up to 15,000 RPM, the C116 ensures quick material removal and superior surface finishes. Its robust construction utilizes a cast-iron frame, which minimizes vibrations during machining, ensuring consistent precision across long production runs. The machine features a 24-tool automatic carousel, allowing for rapid tool changes and versatility in operations.

Moving to the C117, this model introduces enhanced capabilities with a larger work envelope, accommodating larger parts and heavier workpieces. It is equipped with an advanced Fanuc control system that provides user-friendly programming and real-time monitoring of machining processes. The C117 also offers dual-axis linear motors in the X and Y axes, which significantly increase acceleration and deceleration speeds, enhancing overall productivity. The intelligent thermal compensation system ensures stability and accuracy, effectively managing heat generated during operation.

Lastly, the C118 model takes a step further with its dual spindle configuration, allowing for simultaneous machining of two components. This innovative design boosts productivity, especially in high-volume production environments. The C118 features advanced automation options, including robotic loading systems, which streamline workflow and reduce labor costs. The machine’s rigid tapping capability and high torque at low RPMs make it ideal for tapping operations in tough materials, further expanding its versatility.

Overall, the Taylor C116, C117, and C118 machining centers combine cutting-edge technology with robust design characteristics, catering to a wide array of manufacturing needs. Their features not only improve efficiency and precision but also provide users with the confidence that they can tackle complex machining tasks with reliability. As industries continue to evolve, these models stand as testament to Taylor's dedication to innovation and quality in the machining sector.
