RP125 Rotoplant Operation

Containers are transferred via unscrambler / in-feed system onto the RotoPlant in-feed conveyor. Containers are then delivered via the in-feed scroll into a star-wheel and in turn onto the bottom support platter within the central turret. The platter rises as it collects the container, and lifts it against a location collar within the product overflow chute above. This chute is mounted on fibreglass flexures that will allow it to oscillate as the vibratory drive agitates the container through the bottom support platter. The detection of container along with turret position is synchronised to start the product discharge as the overflow funnel passes below the filling machine. The overflow chutes and containers are vibrated for the remaining cycle time of the turret and exit via another star-wheel onto the out-feed conveyor. In continuous filling applications, the central turret is fitted with a disk above the overflow chute. This disk is precision machined with knife edged pockets to accurately split the discharge into equal portions as the product enters the overflow chutes. The amount of one product discharged is directly related to the turret speed and the speed of product delivery, therefore adjusting the speed of product delivery (usually an auger) for a given turret speed controls the amount of product dispensed into each container.

NEW MACHINE LAUNCH

‘EasiFill’ EF-III/PB Gravimetric Siamese Auger filler

Featuring direct drive servo system for use in automatic bag / box presentation machines

The design shown is for use with a Vertical form Fill & seal machine where accurate weighing of portions is required to maintain productivity and remove the requirement of Re-Work. Each discharge is dynamically weighed during filling to ensure exact weight, and discharged alternatively from two filling points, into a collection tube with timing flap. This timing flap reduces the possibility of dust in the sealing area & enables good speed with accuracy on difficult to handle products such as food & Bakery ingredients.

As each portion is weighed, statistical data can be sent via an Ethernet connection to a networked PC or server reference & traceability. Data includes production speed, throughput KG, Batch Size, Standard Deviation, Average weight, min & max weight, no of discharges & CP (Control process data CP CPk+ CPk-). A high resolution colour touch screen continually shows the status of the machine, the weights of each discharged portion and current batch & shift filling statistics.

Recipe recall & bulk product feed set up can also be stored to a Bar code and subsequently selected using bar code reader. This ensures machine set-up integrity without the worry of human error.

The equipment displayed is capable of, but not limited to:-

Making weighed portions from 500 gram to 5000 gram.
Portions above 2500 gram based on double discharge, i.e. both weigh-pans.

- Capacities guaranteed to be:

  • 25-30 portions/minute at 500 – 1500 gram
  • 20-25 portions/minute at 1501 – 2000 gram
  • 15-20 portions/minute at 2001 – 2500 gram
  • 10-12 portions/minute at 2501 – 5000 gram

- Accuracies:

  • 500 to 1500 gram -10 / +10 gram
  • 1501 to 2000 gram -10 / +15 gram
  • 2001 to 2500 gram -15 / +20 gram
  • 2501 to 5000 grams -15 / +20 grams
