abrasion, corrosion and high/low temperature variations. Blanks are used on
drives and idler shafts. When used on the

PATTERN SPLITTER

Burford Corp.'s PS-2 pattern splitters are
fully automatic and include precise pan handling ability. The pattern splitter can be programmed to produce a variety of split patterns
without pan stoppage. It comes standard with
six spray nozzles, although extra spray manifolds are optional. Water pressure is 50 psi at
12 gal per hour. Using water pressure to split
or score dough has several advantages over
knives. Besides sanitation, food safety, lower cost of maintenance and replacement
parts, there are reduced human safety and
OSHA risks involved. In addition, bakery
liability insurance rates are higher when
actual blades are used, whether manually
or via automated systems. Phone (877)

16-LANE CHECKWEIGHER
Thompson Scale Co. released the new
TSC 350 16x checkweigher, which is capable of weighing, classifying and rejecting
up to 16 items simultaneously for quality
control in packaging. The TSC 350 16x is
a drag-chain-style scale designed for large
quantity weighing in high production
packaging lines and is ideal for in-motion
weighing of rigid, semi-rigid and stable
products weighing from 5g to 10 kg. Its
unique design, consisting of 16 individual
lanes, increases output of packaged products by weighing 16 times the number of
items at once while maintaining a high
level of accuracy. Models from two to
16 lanes are available, so the TSC 350 16x
fits into many diverse configurations. The
multitasking operating system can switch
between each weighing task and works
with the analog-to-digital cards to distinguish between each individual weighment,
combining 16 lines so they are able to run
parallel. Phone (713) 932-9071;
