KEY TEGRAâ 7775

This machine is "truly state-of-the-art" technology. The sophisticated sorting systems are world leaders, providing more consistent final product quality, increased yields and improved profit margins for processors.

Tegra's high colour and size resolution imaging, object-based processing, shape detection and intelligent ejecting system maximize defect removal while minimizing the rejection of good product. Generally the sorters have top and bottom trichromatic cameras that view the product from all sides as it's launched from a high-speed conveyor belt:  The belt gently stabilizes product prior to scanning, assuring a predictable product path which less scatter and enhancing performance and accuracy.  The ejector system, made up of 256 air jets spaced 6mm apart, is suitable for even very small products. 

Tegra's Intellisort object-based recognition capability allows sorting on defect shape, as well as size and colour of the product or defect.  It can even detect and remove defects of the same colour as good product.

FAM INLINE CUTTER

MODEL ILC-3D
The ILC-3D dicer is a three-dimensional cutting machine which allows slicing, strip-cutting and dicing of a wide variety of products.The ILC-3D has been specifically designed to handle large products (maximum diameter of 220 mm) for which perfect quality in large cutting dimensions is required. Pre-cutting operations are practically eliminated, this is by consequence labour-saving.Hygiene is spotlighted in this design. The completely stainless steel machine is designed in such a way that the product path is clearly separated from the mechanical drive elements by a shield eliminating possible contamination.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Three-dimensional cutting machine :

The product to be cut is fed into the centre of the rotating impeller. Centrifugal force generated by the impeller blades (1) causes the product to move in a circular path along the inner surface of the drum (2). After having completed 3/4 of a revolution, the product will reach the slicing knife (3) and a slice will be cut. The slice thickness can easily be adjusted by turning the adjustment knob (4).The slice will be pushed between the slicing knife and the slice guide (5) and cut into strips. Strip-cutting is done by the circular knives (7) of the circular knife spindle (6), rotating between the legs of the slice guide (5). The strips are conducted to the crosscut Spindle (9), where they are cut into dices by the crosscut knives (8).

DIMENSIONS OF THE PRODUCT TO CUT

FAM
With 3 paddles, the capacity will be lower. The width of the drum always remains 220 mm.

TYPES OF CUTS :
Both flat and crinkle cut is possible in 3 dimensions.
Slices : achieved by using only the slicing knife.
Can be aligned lengthwise by means of a divider system which is installed in the impeller. In this way cutting quality and yield is improved.
model ILC-3D is capable of handling large products up to 220 mm in diameter and length.  The width of the drum is 225 mm. Opening in the paddle wheel is 250mm.The standard paddle wheel is executed with 4 (four) paddles. The measurement between the impeller blades is: 235 mm if 4 paddles are used
280 mm if 3 paddles are used
180 mm if 5 paddles are used
140 mm if 8 paddles are used

Production of french fries :

For production of french fries, flat cut as well as crinkle cut, it is important to orient the potatoes crosswise in the impeller. In this way the length of the french fries can be maximised.
The orientation of the potatoes is performed by a special curved infeed chute which can be provided optionally.The production capacity of french fries is limited to 400 kg/hr per mm slice thickness.This limitation is due to the fact that potatoes need some time to be oriented properly inside the impeller wheel. f.e. 5000 kg/hr on french fries 12.7 mm (1/2")

Dices : achieved by using slicing knife, circular knives and crosscut knives.

Smallest possible dice : 6 x 6 x 6 mm
largest possible dice : 28 x 28 x 30 mm

The crosscut spindle of the ILC-3D is a key part of the machine's ability to produce the high quality crinkle cut french fries and dices.
