proSONIC: compact rotary cutter

The proSONIC batch rotary machine is capable of cutting round products into variable portion quantities.

 

This portable, hygienic cabinet model uses stainless steel and food grade materials throughout. Enclosed by polycarbonate panels for safety protection and reduced noise emissions, the batch portioning rotary cutter is easy to use, extremely reliable and quick and easy to clean.

An automatic pneumatic loading door facilitates the production process. Variable cut quantity, speed and amplitude can be selected via the operator touch screen.

The proSONIC is used where highly accurate portion control is required.  Using a pre-weighscale, maximum yield and minimum giveaway are available as a result of precision control, the power of ultrasonic cutting and the intelligence of the machine software.  Incorporating an innovative orbital rotary radius cutter, a variable number of portions is possible determined by the target portion weight and the weight of the uncut product.  Working within the limits of the average weight system, yield is high and giveaway reduced to a minimum.

As the proSONIC is particularly suited to products that need accurate portion control it is extremely beneficial in the cheese industry, but also wherever flexible portioning is a requirement - such as sweet and savoury bakery.

 

more information

Ultrasonic cutting involves high frequency sound waves being generated through a sonotrode oscillating at 20,000 times per second (20kHz). The sound waves are concentrated and evenly distributed along the leading edge of the sonotrode, thereby creating a very effective and unique cutting system. The amount of movement (amplitude) can be varied to suit the product, normally varying between 40 and 80 microns. The generator is housed in the rear control panel and provides the power to the titanium sonotrode via a stainless steel housed transducer and booster.
