Purging platforms

When a quick change of component is required, the purge option allows you to easily switch from making an “A” product to a “B” product and thus reduce changeover time while avoiding operator intervention during production. The purging principle is different for each Asycube :

The purge option for the Asycube 50 and 80 consists in :

(A) a platform with a special geometry, which allows the components to be evacuated.

(B) a box receiving purged components placed below the hopper. This box can be removed without tooling.
