The Legend 36 Tortilla Press is used for the improved speed and accuracy of automatic press forming of flour tortillas, pizza crusts.

Features:

• Reciprocating discharge conveyor system to provide continuous flow from press to oven
• Auto tracking system assures long teflon belt life and low product waste
• Patented belt saver system
• Gull wing access doors for ease of cleaning
• Pneumatically assisted belt take up facilitates easy belt removal
• Message display center reports systems status and aids in troubleshooting
• Belt temperature stabilizing device
• Magnetically encoded belt with connecting pin facilitates belt removal and replacement in 2 1/2 minutes (patented!)
• All platen heaters have flexible heater connections to ceramic terminal blocks
• Stainless steel welding bus bars replace traditional high temperature heater jumpers
• All stainless steel hinged doors
• Redesigned platen support system doubles rigidity
• Platen leveling system facilitates adjustments for platen flatness.

Hydraulics:

• Self-contained hydraulic system with "air over oil" heat exchanger
• Self-contained hydraulic and pneumatic control panel
• Stainless steel hydraulic tank utilizes high & low pressure filter system to remove contaminants, extending oil life.

Electrical:

• All electronic circuits protected by circuit breakers
• Proximity type sensors used throughout
• U.L. approved disconnect panel.

Critical Control Point Monitors:

• In-line flow meter for monitoring oil flow
• Pneumatic pressure indicators
• Three-zone temperature control for both upper and lower platens
• Press cycle rate indicator
• Completed cycle counter
• PLC managed belt speeds.

Mechanical:

• Heavy-duty loader boxes utilize linear motion bearings and hardened guide shafts.  This improves rigidity while virtually eliminating maintenance
• Auto tracking system assures longer teflon belt life and low product waste
• Main conveyor design and air assist prevents cripples and discharge roller.

Controls:

• Temperature controls incorporate amperage-monitoring device to signal operator of bad heating element.
• In-line flow meter for monitoring hydraulic pump system
• Highly accurate, electronic, direct-drive belt indexing system
• System features 100% repeatable digital speed control to allow easy time with the OP/AL systems
• Dual display digital liquid-emitting diode temperature controllers improve operating continuity
• PLC operations management with data access panel
• Multi-zone temperature control system assures superior platen temperature control.

Capacity:

• Platen size 36" wide x 36" long
• Speeds in excess of 1,400 dozen/hour
• Product size 4" to 18" in diameter.
