New system innovations for bacon,
case ready and food services.
At this year’s AMI Worldwide food Expo. AEW Delford Systems will demonstrate two new innovative systems to help case ready and food service processors achieve new standards of productivity. The systems will include the latest automatic portioning, slicing, robot loading, grading, checkweighing and weigh price labeling machines from the AEW Delford Systems range.
System 1
HIGH SPEED SLICING and ROBOT PORTION LOADING FOR CASE READY
Pressure is on processors to provide retailers with medium to high volumes of net or random weight portions of pork and beef styled into trays, but the labor required to do this greatly adds to cost. High Speed Slicing and Intelligent Portion Loading with AEW Delford System’s PolySlicer Plus, IPL Robot and 8060 Weigh Price Labeler greatly reduces production time and labour input from slicer through to final packing.
Polyslicer Plus is a versatile, continuous feed vision slicer that produces high volumes of shingled groups of superbly cut, boneless pork or beef portions. The slicer is linked to an AEW Delford Systems IPL Robot, which gently, quickly, accurately - and hygienically - lifts and places the sliced groups into trays. This system will be demonstrated live on booth S4068 with the PolySlicer Plus set to cut fixed thickness groups of crusted, boneless pork steaks for automatic transfer to the IPL Robot for loading into trays.
System 2 SMARTER PORTIONING AND GRADING
SMARTSLICE VISION + sets extremely high standards in fresh product portioning, thanks to its advanced vision system that enables the machine to see the whole product before slicing. Further cutting programmes have been added to enable it to cut a given number of portions, or a specified percentage of the product – particularly useful for maximising prime yield. The unique blade guide gives precise blade control for accurate, higher quality cuts and the swing out discharge conveyor provides easy access to the blade area to facilitate faster cleaning.
SmartSlice Vision + will be combined with an AEW Delford Systems GS900 4CHANNEL GRADER on Booth S4068. Beef strip loins will be sliced into portion controlled steaks by the SmartSlice and the GS900 will quickly and precisely sort the weighed portions then divert them to the appropriate channels for transfer to packing stations.
SLICING WITH A SIZZLE
AEW Delford Systems have set extremely high standards in the American bacon industry with their advanced, accurate and fast IBS 2000 Vision Bacon Slicer. The machine’s ingeniousvision system measures each slice at the blade before it is cut and, simultaneously, the lean/fat distribution. It then makes minute adjustments to the thickness of each slice to provide excellent overall pack presentation and portions with consistent nutritional values and ‘cookability’.
One leading American bacon processor says IBS2000Vision is “the best thing that’s happened to the bacon industry in 40 years.”Maybe that’s because he gets higher slicing yields, higher output rates, higher numbers of on-weight packs, lower product giveaway and better product presentation than any other slicer he’s used.
High quality DVD footage will be shown of an IBS2000Vision automatic bacon processing line in action at a leading American bacon processor.
HIGH SPEED, HIGH QUALITY LABELING
Two important labeling machines will be displayed on booth S4068. The 8060 Weigh Price Labeler provides fast, accurate and reliable labelling of in tray and wrapped products. Up to eight labelling heads can be accommodated on the machine for applying labels to the top or base of a pack and each labelling head incorporates a printer capable of achieving 12 dots/mm imaging for high quality characters and bitmaps.
The all new LS40 Label Applicator is specifically designed to apply promotional and product description labels on a wide variety of packs for food and non-food applications. Its competitive price, flexibility of operation, speed and ease of operation make it an ideal entry level machine for processors or companies with low to medium production volumes of up to 150labels/min. This versatile machine can be supplied on a stand and has the ability to apply labels onto the top or bottom of a pack as required.
CHECKING AND DETECTING
Installing a Guardian 2200 Multipurpose checkweigher with optional integral metal detector provides a number of important benefits for a wide range of packaging applications, not least of which is the significant contribution it makes to reducing the length of production lines – so important where space is at a premium. Guardian 2200 is, of course, one of the most accurate checkweighers around, with accuracy levels down to an impressive 0.5g, throughput of up to180 packs/min and an easy to use control panel that features a 500 programme memory for fast product changeover.
AEW Delford Systems is one of the world’s leading providers of advanced, automatic portion control slicing, sawing, shaping, checkweighing, grading, weigh price labelling, wrapping, sealing and bakery automation technology – either as stand alone machines or as fully integrated systems .
