Packaging and cutting line for the animal food industry

ASM has created an automatic cutting system for animal health products in the PACA region that is easy to use and completely secure. The product, collected directly from the screw extruder, is continuously recovered until it is packaged.

Easy Operation and Complete Production Automation

The operator simply adjusts the edge spacing to the width of the product to be cut, then sets the cutting length stop and positions the product between the edges before sliding it under the pressure roller, and starts the cutting cycle via the control box. Once the cycle is started, production is fully automated, from the recovery of extruded products to packaging in multiple-sized bags.

Key components of the cutting line

• The operative part consists of a motorized belt with adjustable edges with a pressure roller to flatten and move the product
• A pneumatic cutter with flank press guarantees a good cut
• The evacuation is done by radial evacuation cylinder with an adjustable cutting length stop as well as a detection sensor
