Calibration system & hanging system
RKS 85 – the calibration genius
The REX RKS is the universal solution for the exact calibration of all artificial and natural casings; it is also so adaptable that it can be integrated into all process solutions. It was designed to meet the requirements of different-sized operations. The most important aspect of calibration is to define an exact length and best possible weight precision as the basis for cost-efficient production. The ability to
switch easily from artificial to natural casings and vice versa is a further important faction towards efficiency and versatility.
The sausages twisted off by the holding device are directly passed on to the two conveyer belts of the RKS. This arrangement optimizes the twisting-off process and minimizes the number of rejects due to split skins.
The conveyor belts are heightadjustable and are thus easy to set for all casing sizes. In the RKS, casings are calibrated to the desired diameter, thus ensuring that the sausages produced are of identical weight and length. This increases the product quality, and allows you to
meet your specific quality criteria.
In summary, the advantages are as follows:
■ Products with optimum weight precision
■ Identical lengths for natural casings
■ Versatile application range
■ Gentle twisting-off, less rejects due to split skins
■ Extremely short preparation times
■ Efficient working process
The RKS is equipped with servo drives that are set and controlled via the touchscreen controls of the filling machine. The belt speeds are thus automatically adjusted to the specific product and portion size. This ensures that adjustment times are kept to a minimum.
After transport, the calibrated sausage chain is passed on to the RHS in a controlled fashion, where it is directly placed onto hooks. From there, they can subsequently be removed with a smoke bar.
Other features of the RKS are:
■ Appliance easy to operate and adjust
■ Unique hygiene design for easy and fast cleaning
■ To be used for artificial and natural casings
■ Can be attached to all filling machines of series
RVF 400, 700 & 900
■ Reliability through quality
RHS 230 – makes hanging easy
The RHS 230 by REX is the effective solution to hang the sausages immediately after twisting-off, It is connected either to the RKS 85 or directly to the casing holder of the vacuum filler. From there, the twisted-off sausage chain is taken up immediately by the hooks of the RHS and hung, to allow their removal with the smoke bar.
The RHS 230 is height-adjustable and thus easy to set to the height of the vacuum filler or the RKS 85.
The RHS 230 is fitted with a servo drive which is driven and controlled via the touchscreen controls of the filling machine. It can thus be easily adjusted to the product and the respective portion size, thus guaranteeing very short downtimes for changeover and adjustments. Depending on the length of the casing or the product, different-sized groups with different hook numbers to be positioned at the RHS can be defined at the control for specific programmes.
