1.5 Device description, A400/A400FB slicer
Type designations or versions:
A402 = Receiving table design with 200 mm carriage
A404 = Receiving table design with 400 mm carriage
A406 = Receiving table design with 600 mm carriage
A402FB = Conveyor belt design with 200 mm carriage
A404FB = Conveyor belt design with 400 mm carriage
A406FB = Conveyor belt design with 600 mm carriage
All versions are available with a mobile bench.
The A400 / A400FB is a slicer that automatically feeds, slices and deposits according to the
respective program that is set.
This slicer is equipped with a power--driven carriage with automatic sliced product feed and
depositing system.
The machine and engine housing, gauge plate and blade guard are made of anodized cast
aluminum, the carriage guide is made of coated cast aluminum and the drive housing of
lacquered cast aluminum. The carriage plate is made of stainless steel plate.
The back panel is composed of transparent plastic.
All materials used in the food zone and in the working area comply with the food hygiene
conditions.
The carriage guide is protected across the whole stroke area by a protective cover.
The sliced good holder and leftover slicer facility is equipped with a movable gripper hook.
The leftover sliver facility for 200 mm and 400 mm carriage has its own clamping facility, which
can be swiveled up and stopped in place for the sliced product to be placed inside. (This is
not possible for 600 mm carriage)
The delivery facility constitutes a chain frame with transport chain, feed roller with guide cog
and the depositing arm and the receiving table incl. paper holder.
Separate drive systems for blades, carriage, sliced product feed, slicing thickness setting,
delivery device and receiving table.
The blade drive is operated with supply voltage; the other drives are operated with low voltage.
All bearings including the gears and open sliding surfaces are covered with a lubricant
permitted in the foodstuff sector.
The main switch is on the operating and display panel.
It is itemized as a foil switch where the keys are green = on/red = off and a signal lamp to
indicate switched on status. The red key reacts to touch and has an emergency--off function.
The <Start/Stop slicing> key is on the keyboard of the operating and display panel.
The contact control with latch circuit prevents automatic restarting after a power cut.
All machine functions and delivery programs are entered at the operating and display panel
via the foil keyboard.
Input can be made at different stations (workstations, measuring stations, PLU station...).
These stations are accessed by operator guidance keys and function keys.
