OptiCor OC-60

The pockets of the machine are filled manually or automatically by an optional stepflow singulator. They move by means of the start-stop principle.

The alignment system has a camera under the pockets. It is easy for the operator to align the head with the core pointing down based on the camera image. The camera recognizes the position of the core, checks whether it is within the set tolerance and confirms this visually.

In addition, the camera measures the dimensions of the core and calculates the ideal decoring depth. The conical decoring knives adjust accordingly. The alignment system in combination with the ideal decoring depth lead to an optimum yield. And an important benefit: by decoring from underneath, the core is always separated from the end product.

As an option, the head can be cut into 2, 4 or 8 pieces after decoring.
