Overview
Where this model fits
Where a plant runs many cycles per shift, manual plate handling becomes the bottleneck. The BC-AP adds automatic plate shifting, an automatic drip tray and a PLC sequence that ties closing, feeding, squeezing, opening and discharge together. Operators supervise rather than handle plates, and cycle records can be exported for process review.
