AMF KX PLUS User manual

KX PLUS BUN DIVIDER
Superior Scaling Accuracy and Operating Efficiency With
AMF’s Extrusion Technology
•200 - 300% more accurate scaling than a conventional
K-Head divider
•Elimination of divider oil
•Scaling remains consistent over the life of the divider -
15 years or more, with proper maintenance
Dough-Friendly Design
•Single screw changing unit for gentle, low-shear pres
surization
•“Peristaltic” motion metering pump to control through
put without shear - and with 100% purge per revolution,
ensuring “first-in, first-out”
•E-Z Flow distribution manifold is a “valveless” design to
vary scaling weight without increasing back pressure
•Arotary motion cut-off provides a gentle slicing action
• Economical Extrusion Bun Divider
• Direct replacement for K-Head Divider
Low-Maintenance, Long-Life Design
•Rotary motion poly single screw charging unit with
low maintenance single piece jaw coupling
•Rotary motion metering pump
•Rotary cut-off knives for smooth, continuous motion
•40% fewer parts than on a conventional divider
•Electronic synchronization system that eliminates
chain and shaft drives, drastically reducing required
downtime and maintenance
Easy Installation, Operator Friendly Controls
•Mounts in the same location as a K-Head, requiring
virtually no additional space
•Recipe management system stores operating settings
for each product, provides quick, accurate,
consistent set-up of the divider on a regular basis
