Traditional-Looking Bar Marks
This gives the traditional bar marks that would be produced by placing the product on a griddle or barbecue. It can be used on its own to give marking on product that does not need to be grilled or cooked, or it can be used in conjunction with other Frampton methods of grilling to give bar marking to seared or even totally grilled products.
The bar marking is achieved by a heated drum that presses onto the upper surface of the product.
The drums are constructed in two different configurations:
1. The drum has stainless steel bars mounted horizontally across the width of the drum. These bars can be of any width from 3 mm wide to 12 mm wide and can be spaced around the drum at a pitch from 10 mm to 25 mm. This allows the product to have bar marks of a width and pitch to suit the customers particular requirements.
2. Alternatively the drum can be constructed with the bars running around the circumference of the drum. This allows the bar marks to be carried out in the direction of the product passing through the machine.
Frampton slab elements are mounted around the circumference of the drum and heat approximately 300 degrees of the circumference of the drum.
The drum is rotated by a geared three phase motor, the speed of which is controlled by an inverter. This allows the length of time that the bars are in contact with the product to be adjusted.
Ceramic wool insulation is fitted behind the heaters to ensure that heat loss is kept to a minimum and the outside panels feel cool to the touch.
A stainless steel wire belt is mounted beneath the drum and it is directly driven by the drum drive. The speeds of the two are therefore always matching.
The centre section of this belt is mounted on a frame which can be raised or lowered using a hand wheel. This allows products of different thickness to be marked, normally from 3 mm to 60 mm. It also allows the belt to be lowered and used as a conveyor when bar marking is not required.
