SIGMA will present its automated system for managing the rest of dough in the tanks at the next IBA 2015
SIGMA Srl, as usual, for the next IBA show in Munich, will present as a preview a new Automated System for managing the rest of the dough in the tanks.
Designed entirely by SIGMA Research & Development Department, by partnering with KUKA, a leader in the world of robotics, the new solution allows the integration of all Automated Mixing Systems produced by SIGMA with a Robotic System to manage the dough rest process in the tank with the timetable set.
The various automatic production lines for dough are therefore integrated with a six-axis robot of the latest generation, of great precision and reliability, which is responsible to handle the tanks, and receive the mixture at the unloading position and placing the tank resting in a shelving that can be located even in a proofing chamber. After the predetermined rest time, the robot retakes the tanks and unloads the dough onto the line, or again into a mixer for the further finishing step.
For the rest phase, conical tanks in alimentary polyethylene are used, economic and light to be handled, with excellent containment capacity of the leavened dough.
The project can be in various configurations being different in size, capacity and hourly production capacity, having the possibility to integrate all SIGMA standards machines, in different types and sizes.
The system is also able to manage different important phases of the dough process, such as pre-lubrication of the tanks, their scraping during the unloading phase or managing bowls washing and sanitizing at the end turn cycle.
At the IBA trade fair, SIGMA Srl will show its new Automated System for managing dough resting in the tanks in combination with IDROMIX (one of its latest patents, for pre-mixing with an increased hydration of the mixtures) and a Carousel, or in combination with one or more Spiral mixers with bottom bowl discharge.
SIGMA will also present a translating hopper with Crumbler combined, suitable for production lines with dropping machines for products by wire-cut or Rotary Moulders for small and medium industries, and some news relating to Spiral mixers with removable bowl, the Industrial Planetary Mixers EASY line and AEROMIX Planetary Mixers with patented system for dough oxygenation."
