LANDUCCI TRAFILE - the reference in the world of pasta

Aircut

Aircut represents the highest level oftechnology evolution in the universal cutters Landucci’s range. The structure is made ofan upper frame fixed to the press frame. The frame carriers the column used to lift and/or rotate the cutting and ventilation mask. The lifting and rotating movements are motorized to ensure the maximum accuracy and the maximum safety for the operators.

THE CUTTING AND VENTILATION MASK
It is suitably illuminated and provided ofwindows to allow a detailed view ofthe die cutting surface. The mask is provided ofa conveyor belt with reversible motion (Landucci patent), used to convey the product into the shaker. The usage ofthe belt allows the reduction and optimisation ofthe fall ofthe product after the cut, reducing the amount ofair that, in the older cutting units, was used to convey the product into the shaker. The less amount ofair allows a better efficiency ofthe shaker because the shaker is less affected by the air coming from the cutter. The belt reversible motion is used to convey the scraps produced during startups and stops into a container.

MASKELECTRICAL RAISING
The mask raising system is the most modern system available in the market in terms ofaccuracy, rigidity, maintenance and safety. The mask is moving on high precision load linear guideways to avoid any misalignment with the die head. The alignment between the die head and the cutting mask is motorized. The load linear guideways are fixed on a rigid steel column. The result is a very rigid assembly that eliminates any vibration during the mask motion. The mask is moved by a system gearbox+endless screw.

FAST CHANGE SYSTEM ON THE CONE
The masks can be rotated to allow a faster and easier draining of the press and an easier installation ofthe cones.

VENTILATION MANAGEMENT
The air flow ofthe blower is managed by an inverter to allow the perfect aeration ofevery different shape. The air flow is mainly conveyed towards the die surface to reduce the quantity ofair needed for the perfect cut ofthe shapes.

THE CUTTING SYSTEM
The knife is managed by a brushless motor with constant torque from 30 to 400 rpm.

THE CONTROL SYSTEM
The machine is managed by a Siemens S7/300 PLC. From the control board we can manage all the features ofthe machine. The system is presetted to be interconnected with the production line. In the type RTthe entire assembly can also be moved laterally to ensure teh maximum accessibility to the machine.
