Standard Operation Procedure
1
Overview
Features
The Hinds-Bock “T” Series table-top muffin/cake batter depositors are designed to accurately
deposit product using 3 to 5 pistons on the “NT” series, or 4 to 8 pistons on the “WT” series.
The weight of each deposit can be adjusted between 2 to 8 ounces of product for each deposit.
Modifications can be made for desired weights outside this range. Centerlines for each deposit
cavity can be specified to meet the desired pan layout.
Setup
Mount the depositor on its designated table. Verify that all components have been cleaned
properly before attaching the appropriate air and power to the system. The depositor requires
80-90psi during the deposit process.
Nomenclature
1.
Product Head: Holds the product valve in line with the product pistons. Product head
bores are part of the metering portion in each deposit.
2.
Product Valve: Provides a flow path for the product from the hopper to the product
head bores during the suction stroke, and then switches to provide a flow path from the
bores to the pan.
3.
Hopper: Holds product supply for depositing process. Mounted on top of the product
head.
4.
Main Air Cylinder: Used to push (deposit) and pull (suction) the product pistons while in
the product head for each deposit cycle.
5.
Product Pistons: Each piston is attached to a piston rod and each piston rod is attached
to the strong back. Part of the metering portion in each deposit.
6.
Strong Back: Holds product pistons in place while being driven by the main air cylinders.
7.
Stroke-Adjust: The stroke-adjust is used to adjust the deposit weights. Adjusting the
length of stroke controls how much product is deposited each time. The stroke-adjust
indicator is for reference only.
8.
Flow Control: Reduces the air flow through the system, as a result, the user has control
of how fast the system operates.
9.
Safety Tray: Requires two hands to trigger the depositor to cycle. The product pan gets
placed inside the safety tray.
10.
Scale: Metering scale that is used to check the weight of each deposit.
11.
Hand Guard: Prevents operator from placing their hand near moving machinery parts
which could cause injury.
12.
Shuttle Valve: Permits only one deposit per press of the triggers.
