AMF Tortilla Divider And rounder System User manual

TORTILLA DIVIDER AND
ROUNDER SYSTEM
Low Maintenance Rotary Divider Design
•Extrusion divider system features rotary-designed
mechanisms for continuous, smooth operation
• Eliminates stop-and-go stroke motion wear of
conventional piston dividers
•Highly efficient electric gearmotors eliminate the
maintenance and sanitation issues of hydraulic
drive systems
Belt Rounding for Continuous Operation
•Belt rounding system utilizes a patented concave
rounder bar to round each dough piece as it travels
down the rounder belt in a smooth, non-stop motion
•Eliminates the need for spreader belts and dusting
flour
•Reduces changeover time and maintenance
• Extrusion Technology Reduces Maintenance and Improves
Performance
• Higher Speeds Allow Full Utilization of Multiple Press or
Sheeting Units
Divide and Round without Divider Oil or Dusting Flour
•Extrusion design of our Tortilla Divider and Rounder
system requires no divider oil
•Unique belt rounding system requires no dusting
flour
•PLC-controlled cleaning system reduces operating
and sanitation costs and provides a cleaner,
healthier operating environment
Superior Operating Performance
•Unmatched scaling accuracy (+/- 1% is typical)
•Offers long, continuous runs with no downtime
needed for maintenance
