Machine description:
The FAM Mantis.2, a V-belt transverse slicer, is designed for precise cutting at medium to high capacities of elongated and oblong products. It will slice any firm product up to 115 mm ( 4.5 “ ) in diameter and more compressible leafy-type vegetables up to 160 mm ( 6,3” ) in diameter. Certain seafood and meat products can be successfully sliced with the FAM Mantis.2, known for its sanitary design.
The machine can be fed manually or by any conveyor system that feeds the product evenly to the machine. Several specially designed feeding devices are available to optimize product feed and orientation on the V-belts. The capacity of the FAM Mantis.2 varies between 500 kg and 6000 kg (1100 and 13200 lb) per hour depending on the belt speed, the number of knives mounted on the cutting wheel, the specific weight of the product and the feeding method.
The FAM Mantis.2 has a strong reputation for its reliable and accurate operation, even in difficult plant conditions.
Capacity: Up to 8.000kg/h, depending on product, cutting size and condition
Max. product diameter: 112 mm for hard products,160 mm for leafy vegetables
Main features:
Cutting principles:
The thin and tensioned knives of the cutting wheel act as spokes and support the rim. The thin knives are twisted in order to make a uniform pitch from the hub to the rim.
It is this pitch that maintains the continuous speed of the product while it is being sliced resulting in maximum slice thickness accuracy. The conveyor belt speed is synchronized with the cutting wheel speed to ensure proper advance of the product per revolution of the cutting wheel.
As an alternative cutting principle on this machine, small 2D-knives, positioned transversely on the cutting wheel, cut your leafy vegetables in small squares.
