Thurne-Middleby Ltd has boosted the capabilities of its IBS1000 Bacon Slicer with a Vision System, enabling processors to achieve enhanced first time on-weight percentages.
This is the first time Thurne has deployed vision technology on one of its compact 1000 Series slicers. The system uses a high-speed camera and processing system that is able to adjust the thickness of each slice to significantly improve first time on-weights. The enhancement is designed to reduce rework rates and improve overall yield, as there is less giveaway.
A completely new control system, utilising the latest platforms from Allen Bradley, provides the processing power to support the IBS1000 Vision’s slicing accuracy even at the highest blade speeds. It comes with enhanced onboard diagnostics and production data capture, all accessed via the larger, easy-to-use controls.
The bacon slicer complies with ‘ready-to-eat’ hygiene standards and uses a high-yield, semi-automatic gripper feed, providing slice thickness control and high-quality product presentation. The slicer is loaded manually via a fast reload mechanism with automatic butt end removal, which, paired with high blade speeds up to 1650 rpm, enables the slicer to surpass throughputs of 1.8 tonnes/h.
