Hacos MDEX Extruder - ID10--450

  • Approximately 17 deposits per minute, depending on the product

  • Extrudes row per row - deposits then wire-cuts the product

  • Recipes can be stored in memory

  • Height of vertical movement, speed of dosing, speed of piston movement can easily be adapted

  • Can be synchronized with an existing transport belt and with other machines (e.g. depositors, decorating units)

  • Depositing plate, pistons and hopper easily cleaned

The MDEX Extruder is designed for the cutting and forming of solid masses, and equipped with an extra piston mastered depositing head for classical cream fillings.

The Hacos "MD" depositors are a range depositing units, equipped with pistons. Depending on the application there are several versions available: 

1. MDB: depositing on a belt 

2. MDS: depositing into moulds (mould per mould) 

3. MDEX: extrusion and depositing, on a belt or into moulds 

4. MDOS: depositing chocolate and cream in "one-shot" (row per row or mould per mould)

These servo-driven depositors complete the Hacos pump driven depositors (Hacos patent since 1987). The "MDEX" extruder is a version of the classical cream depositors.

Depending on the products required, this model can be receive a different execution. The following versions are available: fix head construction, 1 direction (vertical) head motion, 2 direction (vertical and horizontal) head motion.

The MDEX extruder is developed to extrude row per row. Optionally a two row extruder can be delivered.

The MDEX works with extruding cylinders to attract the hard substance, deposits it through its pistons and then wire-cuts the products.

The MDEX Extruder:

Description

The chassis of the depositor is made of stainless steel, the extruding of aluminium, the extruding cylinders of plastic.

1. On top of the machine there is a collecting hopper (+/- 20 kg) for the infeed of the substance. 2. The central block consists of two rotating cylinders that move the substance down to the pistons; these dentate cylinders have scrapers on the bottom. 

3. On the bottom, the substance passes the distribution block with pistons. The pistons press the substance to shaping area where it is shaped. At the end, a wire-cutter cuts the substance.

Applying the cream hopper and depositing head enables you to use the MDEX like a MDB cream depositor. The hopper and depositing head are double jacketed and water heated. The MDEX 1D-14-600 is equipped with one row of 14 pistons.

The extruder is controlled by a PLC. All parameters can easily be adapted on the screen. Your recipes can be stored in the memory. All movements of the pistons, etc are executed by very accurate servo-engines. Compressed air is needed for the depositing cylinder and the wire cutter.

The extruder is equipped with one depositing plate for extruding products and one depositing plate with nozzles for operation with creams.

The depositing head has a 1 direction movement (up-down).

The height of the vertical movement can be adapted on the screen during production.

The speed of dosing, the speed of the piston movement (dosing and sucking back for creams) can be adapted.

The sequence of extruding is +/- 17 deposits per minute, depending on the product.

The extruder is designed as a stand-alone unit. It can be synchronized with an existing transport belt and with other machines (e.g. depositors, decorating units) to make extruded products with cream etc…

Detaching the depositing plate and the pistons for cleaning only takes a few minutes. Also the hopper on top of the machine can be slided off easily for cleaning

If required, the rotating cylinder can be exchanged to enable extruding continuously without using the pistons.
