Cutoff Unit
The HART Cutoff Unit is designed to cut a continuous moving cheese ribbon or other similar products. The cutoff accurately cuts any length from 75 mm to 900 mm. The linear servo system ensures accurate cuts every stroke. A simple keypad entry is all that is necessary to change lengths and speed while in operation.
Cheese
Stacker
The Hart Design Cheese Stacker receives loaves of cheese ribbons from the Hart Design Cutoff Unit and stacks them on top of each other. We have a Two Stage Stacker that stacks one loaf on top of another loaf and a Three Stage Stacker that will combine three stacks. By doing this, our Two Stage Stacker can take the 10 ribbons of cheese coming off a casting line and create a 20- slice horizontal loaf. The Three Stage Stacker would take those same 10 ribbons and create a 30-slice horizontal loaf. The stacked loaf is then conveyed to a wrapper's Auto Infeed.
Timing of both the upper and lower stacks is adjustable during operation in order to achieve proper loaf alignment. Speed of the Two Stage Stacker is adjustable to a maximum output capacity of 30 loaves per minute. The maximum output of the Three Stage Stacker is 20 loaves per minute.
3x12 Wrapping Machine
Three pound and five pound stacked ribbon loaves are conveyed to the Auto Feeder and transferred individually to the conveyor flights of the 3x12 Wrapping Machine. As each loaf reaches the lift position it is cut into shorter lengths by a wire "Harp" before being wrapped and sealed.
As the loaf is advanced by the overhead paddle system, the film folds over the product and overlaps by 1/2". The overlapped film area is then sealed. Progressive folders create a diamond fold at each end. In the last station, heated plates heat seal the end diamond folds of the package. The package is then discharged for case packing.
