1. Side Elevation — Hydraulic Extrusion Cycle

HYDRAULIC RAM MOVEMENT DOUGH FLOW BLADE STROKE 1 DOUGH HOPPER / FEED CHAMBER 2 HYDRAULIC CYLINDER 3 LINEAR ENCODER / STROKE SENSOR 4 RAM / PLUNGER 5 EXTRUSION CHAMBER 6 FIXED PORTIONING TUBE 7 SENSOR TRIGGERS AT 3.000 in 8 GUILLOTINE SLICE = 13.07 fl oz
Cycle: hydraulic ram advances → dough extrudes through fixed tube → encoder confirms 3.000 in length → blade slices one 13.07 oz portion.
Target Volume13.07 US fl oz
Portion ShapeCylindrical slug
Tube ID3.164 in
Cut Length3.000 in

2. Portion Tube Detail

Ø 3.164 in ID 3.000 in TARGET LENGTH Ø 3.289 in OD WALL 1/16 in
Volume logic: π × (3.164 ÷ 2)² × 3.000 in = 13.07 US fl oz target portion.
