1 UNIVERSAL-FORMPRESS-SYSTEMS

2 Bepex-Hutt Formpress-Systems Bepex-Hutt Formpresses are laid out as a component of Formpress Installations. Depending on the system, the different masses are formed either under pressure or without pressure into individual strands or into mass slabs with small tolerances. The consistency of the individual masses may be powdery, solid, kneadable, viscous, sticky or liquid or obtain one of these characteristics only by temperature influence. It is possible to extrude strands or slabs with one, two or three layers and also filled strands. Accessories like nozzle cutting devices or roller formers for relief-type shapes permit the production of finished articles. To obtain satisfactory extrusion results the masses must have sufficient flowing properties or develop the same under pressure. Solidifying masses have to be brought into a kneadable consistency before being fed to the Formpress. Standard drive unit 1 Depending on the recipe and consistency, the masses are formed in cold or warm condition. The maximum temperature for masses which have to be formed in warm condition is 100 C (212 F). Aerated masses can be processed with a density of 0,4 and higher. All Formpress Systems can be easily operated and are designed according to hygienic standards of the food industry and are flexible regarding the processing of masses. Different working widths and sizes of the Formpress rollers allow to perfectly adapt the machine to the required output. Any kind of production method can easily be combined with Bepex-Hutt Formpresses in order to provide economic solutions for the most diversified products. 2

3 Drive in bridge-type construction 2 The Bepex-Hutt Formpresses are of approved and robust design, and reliable in operation. Even at high speed and high output they operate precisely and with low tolerances. For subsequent processing of the slabs, strands and individual articles produced on the Formpress Systems, Bepex-Hutt Cooling Tunnels and Cutting Machines of various kinds are available. Working Method The material to be processed is fed to the hoppers in suitable homogeneous consistency. This applies to all Formpresses. The special rollers draw the mass in and convey it either under pressure or without pressure through the corresponding strand nozzle or slab nozzle, etc. The forming speed is infinitely adjustable. By means of a lifting and lowering device incorporated in the drive housing, the required extrusion height onto the transport belt can be achieved. When processing masses sensitive to temperature, the Formpress is tempered. The Formpress Systems with their accessories guarantee extrusion of articles precise in weight and shape. All Bepex-Hutt Formpress Systems can be easily installed on a standard drive unit (Ill. 1). Due to its special construction, the Formpress can be installed at any position of the transport belt. This also allows to set up several Formpresses in row. The standard drive gears are laid out for high load, e.g. extrusion of solid blocks in cold condition. When processing soft masses or low capacities, a drive unit in bridge-type construction can be chosen to replace the standard drive (Ill. 2). Both types of drive units can be provided with special castors to make them movable. 3

4 Rotary Bar Roller Press Typ DP This system is laid out for universal application especially for the processing of masses with a soft, viscous and even solid consistency. The masses may be formed out under pressure or without pressure. The masses may also contain additional components like nuts, dried fruits, rice crispies etc. The mass is drawn in by the rotary bars. Rollers and rotary bars are completely scraped off so that there will be a positive displacement. The pressure within the system is adjustable so that relatively high pressures can be obtained if necessary. Hopper, housing and side walls, rotary bar rollers and nozzles are all doublewalled and can be tempered independently from each other. The Rotary Bar Roller Press is suited for the forming of all kinds of product shapes and dimensions. With different working methods, like Strand forming Slab forming Nozzle cutting Shape forming product shapes and dimensions can be adapted to the individual requirements of the customer. The number of strands depend on the working width and the product dimensions. The Standard Formpresses Type DP can be supplied for working widths of mm. Examples for nozzle cross sections The product shapes and dimensions are adjusted to the customer's requests. Rotary Bar Roller Press Type DP in stainless steel. 4

5 Double Rotary Bar Roller Press Typ DDP The system is similar to the single Rotary Bar Roller Press Type DP and can be applied for the processing of the same masses as for the latter. With the Double Rotary Bar Roller Press filled, hollow or multi-layered strands or slabs can be extruded. The Formpress is provided with two separate mass hoppers. When feeding one or both hoppers with the same mass, it will be also possible to produce articles out of one component only. The drives of the Double Rotary Bar Roller Press Type DDP are equipped with two gears which allow the independent adjustment of the speed for each side of the Formpress. Thus any requested volume ratio of the two masses can be achieved. The number of revolutions and volume ratio will be digitally indicated. In standard lay-out the Double Rotary Bar Roller Presses Type DDP can be supplied in working widths from mm. Examples for nozzle cross sections The product shapes and dimensions are adjusted to the customer's requests. Double Rotary Bar Roller Press Type DDP in stainless steel. 5

6 Triple Rotary Bar Roller Press Type DP/3 The Formpress Type DP/3 is designed for a simultaneous processing of up to three different masses. Depending on which nozzle design is applied, this formpress can be used for the forming of: single, double and three layer mass slabs hollow, double and triple layered strands of different cross sections single, double and triple filled product strands The number of strands which can be obtained depends on the strand dimensions and the working width of the Formpress. The Formpress drive is equipped with three drives; thus, an infinite adjustment of the volume ratios of the three masses to each other can be obtained and, upon request, be electronically controlled. The special merit of the Formpress Type DP/3, and the other Bepex-Hutt Formpresses Type DP and DDP is the minimum dimension tolerances of the formed products. The Bepex-Hutt Formpress Type DP/3 has the following advantages: The Formpress can be tempered via independent water circuits, i.e. three different masses can be processed at three different processing temperatures. The special design of the feeding rollers as rotary bar rollers ensures that they are completely scraped off. This special system within the mass feeding area now also allows the processing of very sensitive masses, such as nut-nougat masses. An adaptation of the recipe to the machine, as it has often been required for the processing of multi-color processing, is not necessary for the DP/3. Ill. 1 Triple Former Type DP/ Ill. 2 Triple Former Type DP/ in stainless steel, movable design 1 2 The Universal Formpress Type DP/3 can be supplied with working widths from 100 mm up to 1300 mm. The maximum possible strand speed is 15 m/min. in standard design. In combination with a subsequently placed Nozzle Cutter Type MS-D, individual products starting from 5 mm thickness can be directly placed on a transport belt. The Universal Formpress is particularly suitable for the processing of doughs for the production of baked goods, pralinés and pâtés. 6

7 Smooth Roller Former Type GP This system is suited for all pressure sensitive masses or aerated masses to be processed in liquid, viscous, pasty, kneadable or sticky consistency. The forming system is working without any pressure according to the dragging principle. The masses to be formed can be cooled by a special cooling system during forming. The Former Type GP does not generate any change in the structure of the mass to be processed. A gentle forming is guaranteed even for highly spongy products by keeping their density. Usually this system is applied for the forming of endless mass slabs. The thickness of the slabs is infinitely variable. Certain masses may also be formed into strands. For high forming speeds exceeding 7m/ min. or for masses which have to be extremely cooled during the forming, Type GP is equipped with larger rollers. The Smooth Roller Former Type GP can be supplied with different roller diameters. In standard design, Type GP 300 is supplied with a special drive in bridge type construction. The Formers Type GP can be supplied for working widths of mm. Ill. 1 Formpress Type GP extruding a pressure sensitive puffed rice slab.

8 Machinery Details Additional Devices A B Strand forming A = Double-layered B = Hollow strand Strand Forming Many products are manufactured in this way. There is the possibility of extruding solid strands, hollow strands, multi-layered strands and filled strands. The requested product shape is obtained by the shape of the nozzle. There are various types of nozzles available for the production of the multi-layered or filled products. Ill. 1 Double Rotary Bar Roller Press with nozzle for the forming of filled strands Ill. 2 Strand forming Ill. 3 Double-layered strands Slab Forming Masses that cannot be brought into shape immediately after extrusion as they do not have sufficient stability are usually formed in slabs and subsequently cut to the corresponding product shape (Fig. 5). The slab forming system allows infinitely variable adjustment of the slab thickness by a slab nozzle. It is also possible to produce filled or multilayered slabs. Ill. 4 Formpress Type DP extruding a thin toffee layer onto a slab of aerated nougat Ill. 5 Slab nozzle Nozzle Cutting System For this procedure, a strand nozzle is arranged in a way that cutting can directly be effected at the nozzle in horizontal direction either by a knife or wire. Thus finished products are produced in one operation. Their product height is obtained in the cutting procedure. The Nozzle Cutting System can be combined with both Formpress Type DP and DDP.

9 Shape Forming Range of Application Ill. 1 Roller Former (shape forming) Ill. 2 Roller Former for shape forming, with ejector system. Shape Forming In this case, a roller former will be attached to the Formpress. The Former has moulds which correspond to the product shape. This procedure is applied for the manufacture of relief-type, domeshaped articles which are difficult to produce with other systems. The finished products are taken off from the roller former by a special belt and transferred to subsequent transport belts.
