Description
FAM CENTRIS 400 vegetable and fruit slicing machine
- The FAM Centris™ 400 is already the third machine of the Centris™ line, which was first launched in 2013, and is the biggest model yet. The patent pending cutting head technology guarantees a consistent slice and shred accuracy throughout the cutting process thanks to the Gapset™ Technology. Its unique design design considerably facilitates the changing of the blades, the handling and the cleaning of the cutting head.
- FAM Centris™ 400 is the new reference for great cut quality in different shapes and sizes.
- The lightweight stainless steel cutting head (patent pending) radically improves centrifugal slicing and shredding.
- The Centris™ 400 is available as a stand-alone machine and can also be easily integrated in a production line.
- Food and operator safety is a priority for the FAM Centris™ 400.
- The Centris™ 400 is easy in maintenance and use, resulting in a very economic operating cost.
- No gearbox but a reliable and low-maintenance direct drive system that creates a totally new and better situation.
- The innovative NECST™ concept (Next Evolution in Centrifugal Slicing Technology) provides new answers to the key issues in the centrifugal slicing food processing.
- Extremely precise centrifugal cutting principle with new and innovative patent pending cutting head technology.
Different impellers available depending on the application. Impellers have round edges and vertical grooves to guide the product perfectly. - The 100% stainless steel cutting head weighs 12 kg, has 16 cutting segments and a reduced amount of parts, which simplifies assembly.
Electrical control of the machine is start-stop without programming or read-outs in order to meet simplicity. Can be positioned at the back or at the side. - Unit can be positioned inline or as a stand-alone. Different executions of infeed and outlet chute available.
- Large infeed provides uniform product flow to the cutting head and avoids overloading of the cutting head.
- Rigid, seamless welded frame with no flat surfaces. Storage for two cutting heads underneath the machine and designed to fit eurobin.
- Trapped key interlock safety system prevents access to the cutting area during machine operation.
- Equipped with a very robust and reliable Direct Drive System. No expensive gearbox that requires continuous maintenance.
- Equipped with a 2,20 kW motor AC three-phase stainless steel motor for low energy consumption and designed for easy washdown.
- Designed according to CE, FDA and HACCP regulations. The drive, product and electronics zone are completely separated.
Cutting Principle
The product is fed through the infeed chute and enters into the cutting compartments of the rotating impeller (*). There, it is held against the inner surface of the cutting head assembly (*) by centrifugal force.
The cutting head assembly (*) consists of 16 individual stationary cutting stations. Slices or shreds are produced as product passes each knife in a smooth and uninterrupted manner. Length is controlled by the input product size. The cut product is collected through the central discharge.
The interchangeable cutting heads (*) offer flexibility in all cuts and shapes, such as flat, crinkle cut and V-shaped slices as well as V-shaped, oval, julienne and wide ribbon-cut strips, and this on a variety of products.
