Instead, the Novacor uses a solenoid-based linear driver that attaches to the
pusher plate inside the pump.
The ejector tray has been designed as a two-stage ejection system so that it will move the
pusher plate the entire length of the rear body smoothly and quickly.
"Because there are two
pusher plates, each one travels through half a stroke, which results in a milder deformation of the
pusher plate sec," he said.
The machine also features a 600mm food grade take-off conveyor and pot eject cylinder and
pusher plate. Pneumatic cylinders, grippers and vacuum units at each of the stations are pneumatically controlled via Moduflex valve islands.
During each stroke, air enters the pump behind the
pusher plate to keep the system at atmospheric pressure.
