MORO Snack 50CS-5

Operational Features

The MORO snack 50CS-5 is a highly advanced and efficient cheese slicing machine designed with multiple operational features to ensure precision, quality, and flexibility. Below is a breakdown of its key features:

1. Individual Servo-Driven Cheese Feeder

• Each channel is equipped with its own servo-driven cylinder, offering flexibility in adjusting the thickness of the cheese slices. This design ensures consistent slice thickness, which remains unaffected by the total length of the cheese block being processed. This allows for better control and more accurate slicing.

2. Ultrasonic Blade

• The ultrasonic blade enhances the slicing quality by preventing cheese buildup on the blade. The blade operates within a cycle time of 700ms, ensuring that the blade stays sharp and precise throughout the process. This high-speed operation guarantees a clean, consistent cut with minimal wear on the blade.

3. Broken Cheese Eject Point

• The conveyor system under the slicing blade is designed to collect and reject any broken pieces of cheese. This feature prevents poor-quality cheese slices from making their way into the packaging process, ensuring that only complete and intact slices are used for packaging.

4. Cutting Quality Check

• The MORO snack 50CS-5 is equipped with a cutting quality monitoring system. If the cheese slice is incomplete or not cut properly, the machine will detect this and correct the issue by reloading another slice into the slicing station in the next cycle. This ensures consistency and precision in the slicing process.

5. Reject Point After Cutting Check

• Following the cutting check, any half or incomplete slices are rejected and replaced during the next cycle. While this feature may slightly reduce output, it significantly enhances the quality consistency of the final product.

6. Rotary Pick and Place

• The rotary pick and place system utilizes servo-driven actuators with individual cylinders to pick up the sliced cheese and place it into trays. The system incorporates 20 single-acting cylinders and 20 actuated vacuums. The vacuums are electrically powered to reduce air consumption on-site and feature both suction and blow functions to clear any blockages.
• The system also includes a self-cleaning function, which is triggered when multiple cycles miss a slice. This function automatically halts the machine and restarts after a set time determined by the operator via the HMI.

7. Modularity and Maintainability

• The design of the machine allows for easy disassembly of the conveyors and rotation mechanisms as modular sub-assemblies. This facilitates quick maintenance, cleaning, and service, and provides flexibility when switching between products with different allergen profiles, ensuring that the machine can handle both allergic and non-allergic products efficiently.

Overall, the MORO snack 50CS-5 is designed to provide high throughput, excellent cutting quality, and reliability while offering operational flexibility for different production needs. Its modularity and maintainability features also make it easier to keep the machine running at peak performance with minimal downtime.
