Description

PBC/400 x 300/B/Mixing Bowl Butter Cutter

This Butter Cutter is designed to cut tempered blocks of butter into 75 x 75mm segments. To cut the butter into individual blocks they can be turned through 90 degrees and placed back onto the cutting frame for a second cut. The Butter Cutter is manufactured from Grade 304 Stainless Steel throughout and the cutting operation is via a guided pneumatic cylinder and pusher plate. When the cylinder extends it presses the butter through the cutting blades and into a mixing bowl placed underneath.

The Butter Cutter is enclosed in a stainless sheet metal design on both sides and the back with the front open to allow the butter blocks to be loaded and unloaded. Control of the cutting operation is via dual pneumatic push button control mounted either side of the opening at the front. The cut and retract operations are selected via a selector switch and then both push buttons must be held to operate the Butter Cutter on a hold to run principle.

All parts of the Butter Cutter and components such as the pushing block and the cutting frame are easily removable for cleaning purposes. The Butter Cutter is mounted on stainless steel rubber based adjustable feet which can be used to level the Butter Cutter once in position.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the range of temperatures that the cutter will accept?

Basically the colder the block of butter, the longer it will take to cut and if it is still frozen, it will not cut until it has thawed. We cannot be specific about how long this might take because there are too many variables involved, such as the starting temperature of the block, the block size, the ambient temperature etc. When a 400 x 300 x 300mm Butter Block has reached a temperature of over 5° Celsius, at its core, the block takes approximately 15 seconds to cut. It should be noted that if a frozen block is loaded to the machine, damage to the machine is possible.

How many blocks per hour will the Butter Cutter handle?

If it is assumed that we are using a similar block size at a similar temperature and estimate an unwrapping and loading time of 45 seconds, then the throughput would be around 60 blocks per hour.

What are the cut sizes achieved by the cutter?

The normal cutting frame aperture size is 75 x 75mm although this can be adjusted, at the time of manufacturer to suit specific requirements. The 75 x 75mm cut increases the surface area of the Butter Block by almost 3 times once cut.

What is the air consumption per cut?

Approximately 80 Litres/Minute.
