products - ibpro bread slicer & bagger

The Ibonhart IBPRO.

With Ibonharts growth in the plant bakery sector we have concentrated on the design of a machine specifically targeted at high speed slicing and bagging to launch at the 2015 IBA trade fair.
The design brief was for the machine to have the following features:-

• Reduced energy consumption
• Minimise Waste
• Ease of access for operation
• Ease of access for maintenance.
• Ease of access for hygiene
• Ergonomic controls to allow one operator to control two machines
• Use world leading technology and design methods

The result is the worlds most advanced bagging system available today with the following features:-

• High Speed Band Slicer with option for adjustable slice thickness linked to touch screen adjustment
• Bread pushed onto dynamic inline system by fully adjustable synchroniser which gives a smooth product transition, for different product sizes including free baked bread.
• Dynamic inline system reduces product speed by 30% and is accelerated just before going into the bag.
• Overtake overhead, single position clutch system giving smooth product transition
• Dual action openers accurately open the bag from the centre and are suitable for PE and PP bags
• Air consumption saving 30% using Ibonharts advanced air jet system ensure all air jets are targeted and have an optimum inflation pattern
• Three tray bag changing system, changes bags automatically in less than ten seconds, optional four tray available
• AWC sensors are ultrasonic and not effected by crumb or dust and are not sensitive to different bag colours
• Air tank reservoir maintains pressure for bag inflation consistency
• New front guard system allows easy access to all operator areas
• Digital counters on all adjusters can be set for different products
• Boom HMI adjustable to be seen and operated from all angles allowing two machines to be controlled by one operator
• Connection for sealers, check weigher and metal detector built in as standard
• Alarm system identifies source of problem using intelligent light system and HMI message
• Remote assistance via VPN connection through Ibonharts firewall friendly communication system which allows remote fault diagnosis, new programme updates
• Up to 10 speed options for different product requirements all programmable via the HMI
• Alarm log stored in machines memory
• Machine manual built into HMI
• LED illumination
• Main components of machine connect to control cabinets via thermos plastic food grade plug and socket connectors
• Notification on HMI of broken sensor or dirty sensors
• Siemens NEW V20 inverters
• Siemens S7 1200 series LATEST PLC replaces S7300 series
• OR Mitsubishi Fx3G new combined module FR safety inverters
• Safety system all panels and guards access via interlocked doors and dual channel safety system
