Background:
Client N bought a lollipop making machine with 3sets of molds.
He wants to make specially shaped lollipops which we designed for him by opening a new mother mold. but weight is totally different.
Max capacity of this lollypop machinery is 150kg/h.
Yesterday, I got his problem online: He forgot how to modify the depositing speed when he changes over the lollipop molds from 13grams to 4grams.
Totally different lollipop molds, different weights of lollypops.
13grams Umbrella shaped lollipops
4grams Heart shaped lollypops
Since he is using SIEMENS PLC controlled candy making machinery, How can this happen?
For 4g heart shape, depositing speed can be reached 40storks per minute.
For 13 Umbrella lollipops, the strokes we suggested 25times per min.this will full cooling the product when coming out from the cooling tunnel.
Five steps will up-speed your final output.
Step 1: Take a photo of your existing PLC screen.
Step 2: Change this Depositing Speed time from 3 to 1.5~2sec. (need changing according to the real running)
Step 3: Quicken the 1# 2# Depositing speed.
Step 4: Quicken the 1# 2# Depositing back speed
Step 5: Quicken the chain speed to Maximum 99.00
There’s no fixed number you can choose. make a fine-tuning, until the Depositing time+Depositing speed+ chain moving speed matched. Running-in smoothly, then you can increase your final output by small weight candy/lollipops.
