Description
Cutting machine for fruits and vegetables FAM Lifis.2
- Operator-friendly to program and flexible in many different applications.
- Fully focused on superior sanitation and high machine safety.
- Highly efficient machine design resulting in low maintenance and easy accessbility.
- Sloped platework, rounded corners and a minimum of hex cap screws highly reduce varnish buildup.
- Due to the high speed of the knives, Lifis.2 produces uniform slices with a smooth surface and a minimum of breakage and ragged ends.
- A specially designed discharge chute gently decelerates the cut product minimizing product damage.
- The design of the conveyor belts, side covers, and open V-belt section results in high accessibilty and easy maintenance and improved hygiene.
- The trapped safety key can only be removed from the control cabinet after all rotary parts have come to a complete stop.
- The unique quick release system for the V-belts reduces the downtime for cleaning and replacing the belts to its minimum. The smooth and durable finish of the stainless steel slicing wheel and support plate will reduce cleaning time.
- Easy accessible and washdown stainless steel motors (without cooling fins) offer an even better cleanability.
- The cutting principle allows the product to be sliced without being crunched by any hold down belt. Especially onto fragile leafy products such as lettuce and iceberg, the cut products display an exceptional shelf life.
- Sealed bearings for minimum maintenance and optimum performance. No daily lubrication is required. No product contamination appears due to intensive lubrication.
An angled bottom plate evacuates water and waste to a central drain. This feature allows a more efective and quicker cleaning. Variable frequency drives for both the slicing wheel and the conveyor belts offer a precise speed control and maximum flexibility producing different cutting sizes. The electrical cabinet has several presettings for the speed of the belts and the cutting wheel, but it can also be programmed manually.
The product slides onto 2 conveyor belts positioned in the V-shaped feed channel ensuring automatic positioning and high-speed transport of the product to the cutting wheel.The thin and tensioned knives of the cutting wheel act as spokes and support the rim. The thin knives are twisted in order to make a uniform pitch from the hub to the rim.
It is this pitch that maintains the continuous speed of the product while it is being sliced resulting in maximum slice thickness accuracy.
The conveyor belt speed is synchronized with the cutting wheel speed to ensure proper advance of the product per revolution of the cutting wheel.In addition the FAM Lifis™.2 can cut your leafy vegetables in small squares by postioning small 2D-knives transversely on the cutting wheel.
