The Process
3. Uncurling
1. Compound Weight
2. Compound Placement
Once “uncurled” the shells are inspected by up to 5 high resolution cameras as they are rotated through 360 degrees.
After the shells have been passed through the “lining” process, the operator will bake the ends in the usual manner and return them to the gauge. Each shell will be automatically identified and weighed again. The barcode verification feature ensures the risk of “mixing” or manual data entry errors are completely removed from the process, and the compound weight will be automatically calculated and displayed for the operator for each shell
After compound weight compound placement can also be checked. This is done by up to 5 optional “uncurling” presses within the gauge, for plants producing different shell diameters and types.
Detailed information on the cut edge distance and HOS (high on shoulder) is provided around the complete shell circumference.
