The R&D Gummy Machine is a servo-driven, short-term pouring system
designed for entry-level operation or for experimental and development work in
larger operations. It has a small footprint, low energy costs, and is easy and
practical to move on casters.
As a machine with high temperature, and metal drive, it is important to always prevent personal accidents and protect production and the machine.
1. What is the process flow of R&D gummy machine?
Dissolved sugar is added to the tiltable sandwich pan → manually add the mold into the hopper → PLC control → pouring and forming → cooling →
demoulding.
Note: It should be cleaned in time after not gummy pouring to prevent gummy
from hardening and sticking.
Operation control mode: touch screen.
Human-machine interface language: English or local language is used.
The contents to be displayed on the operation screen (including but not
limited to): hopper temperature, bottom plate temperature, manifold temperature,
pouring volume control, pouring time control, mold pushing time control, can be adjusted on the touch screen.
The control system of the equipment meets the requirements of the electrical
installation code for industrial equipment, and the electrical equipment of the
control system of the equipment meets the requirements of international
certification.
The CIP process is, adding hot water to the tiltable sandwich pot → manually adding funnel into the hopper → PLC control → hot water rinsing, if one cleaning is not enough can be repeated several times, our electrical components are made into separate cabinets to isolate contact with water.
R&D gummy machine can produce one color product with center or two
colors of uniform size.
The indexing conveyor passes the molds through the machine and makes deposits. There is a no mold/no deposition system. The molds are removed from the machine by hand after deposition and set aside to cool. The demolding can be done manually or by a demolding device.
The molds can be either Teflon aluminum molds or flexible food degree silicone . The Teflon aluminum mold is designed with thimble, after the gummy is cooled and formed, press the thimble to push the gummy out of the mold; the elastic silicone mold has a soft bottom that can be pressed directly to push the gummy out of the mold. Mold details
How does the pouring machine carry out the gummy pouring during the
production process?
1、Operator will place the mold on the push mold track and remove the hand
2、Push the foot pedal, push the mold to push the mold to the bottom of the hopper, opposite to the distribution plate
3、When the mold is pushed to the bottom of the hopper, the gummy machine receives the command to drive the servo motor to make the punch rod to move up and down, forming the extrusion, squeezing the syrup from top to bottom into the already placed mold.
(Note: pushing the mold to the designated position first, and then pouring, as a process)
4、Repeat the above steps, push the mold filled with syrup out of the bottom of the hopper to the back section conveying platform.
5、Squeeze the mold with syrup and let it cool.
6、Form the gummy and use the demoulding device for demoulding.
This will give you the molded gummy. Aluminum mold has strong thermal conductivity compared to rubber mold to cool down faster and easier to demold.
2. Name and introduction of each part of R&D gummy machine
Servo motor, punch rod, hopper, distribution board, PLC controller, push mold motor, foot pedal, etc.
Hopper with jacket electric heating and heat preservation, temperature can be adjusted manually in the display. Placing the finished blended syrup.
Servo motor drives the punch up and down. Through the up and down movement of the punch rod, the syrup in the hopper is squeezed and distributed to the mold through the distribution plate.
The pushing mold motor independently controls the pushing mold to push the mold placed by the worker to the bottom of the hopper smoothly.
The foot pedal is used in the order of smoothly placing the mold on the track first, taking care of their own safety to retrieve their hands, and then the foot pedal is stepped on last.
The PLC controller plays an integrated role. When the foot pedal commands, the push mold motor confirms that the mold has been placed and carries out the push mold procedure. While the above conditions are met and there is already a mold under the hopper, the top servo motor starts to drive the punch rod and completes the pouring. When the pouring machine is working, make sure there is material in the hopper to prevent the machine from idling and causing damage to the equipment parts.
There are no sharp edges and sharp corners on any part of the equipment. All parts and welds are chamfered and polished to provide minimum sharp corners, minimum seams and flat and smooth connections, and the overall design fully improves the clean operability of the equipment.
3. Equipment parameters
