High performance buffer
After portions arrive from a slicer, the portions arrive onto the vertical distributor which directs them towards the buffer level that is empty and they are accumulated on this level.
If no accumulation is possible (belts having a full or unlading status), a signal is given to cause a cutting stop of the slicer. At the out-feed end of the machine a second vertical distributor takes over the portions from the 3 levels to give them along to the loading conveyor which synchronizes its loading speed to the needs of the next system to be loaded upon. Incorrect weight portions are sorted out to an optional upper correction belt, e.g. for manual weight correction. The correction conveyor requires an additional flip-flop upstream of the HorizontalBuffer.

The water equation
Across Europe, drought is a recurring reality – and no longer confined to the south. While water increasingly shapes where industries locate, its value is determined by local context. There are many technological routes to water efficiency in industrial processes, but location, energy needs and other factors are also key.
