Cake Discharge
As the press opens, the cake discharges via the diverter doors into the cake converyor. The wieght of the cake adhering to the cloths, overcomes the spring force, creating the rapid compression of the spring, driving the cloth support assembly and cake downwards. As the assembly comes to sudden stop, the cake shears from the cloth and discharges. Upon release, the cloth and support assembly returns to the original upper position. This system reduces cycle time and increases production.

The cloths, which are hung from support bars at the top of each plate, can be readily and individually changed by one person in a few minutes, requiring no skills or tools. The support bars are suspended by springs which are designed to compress under cake load. No adjustments are required during cloth installation.
