Success
After three months of testing, the results of the HD kits are beyond expectation. “The AMF-i HD kits have really helped us handle rework at the exit of the system. The improved performance of the key modules reduces the rework and gives us better product flow to the SensorX,” Walt Shafer continues. “As labor is always a factor, we don’t need as many trimmers on this line either.”
One seamless flow
For LPP, it was a challenge to process the larger size breast caps through the regular AMF-i, but with the HD kits installed, their larger caps process without incident. The wishbone remover and halver performance have improved significantly as well with the new HD kits. Yield has been gained from less rework being done as now the HD system is efficiently processing the larger breast caps. The breast fillets running through the AMF-i HD, through the SensorX and into packaging establish one seamless flow and a wonderful operation to watch. The achievements of the AMF-i HD kits have convinced LPP to move forward with installing further HD kits on two other lines at LPP. “Because of the partnership between Marel and LPP, this facility is successful,” concludes Walt Shafer.
