AMF KX PLUS User Manual

KX PLUS BUN DIVIDER

Superior Scaling Accuracy and Operating Efficiency With
AMF’s Extrusion Technology

• 200 - 300% more accurate scaling than a conventional

K-Head divider

• Elimination of divider oil

• Scaling remains consistent over the life of the divider -

15 years or more, with proper maintenance

Dough-Friendly Design

• Single screw changing unit for gentle, low-shear pres

surization

• “Peristaltic” motion metering pump to control through

put without shear - and with 100% purge per revolution,
ensuring “first-in, first-out”

• E-Z Flow distribution manifold is a “valveless” design to

vary scaling weight without increasing back pressure

• A rotary motion cut-off provides a gentle slicing action

• Economical Extrusion Bun Divider

• Direct replacement for K-Head Divider

Low-Maintenance, Long-Life Design

• Rotary motion poly single screw charging unit with

low maintenance single piece jaw coupling

• Rotary motion metering pump

• Rotary cut-off knives for smooth, continuous motion

• 40% fewer parts than on a conventional divider

• Electronic synchronization system that eliminates

chain and shaft drives, drastically reducing required
downtime and maintenance

Easy Installation, Operator Friendly Controls

• Mounts in the same location as a K-Head, requiring

virtually no additional space

• Recipe management system stores operating settings

for each product, provides quick, accurate,
consistent set-up of the divider on a regular basis
