Automation is the key theme at Propak

15/01/2013

At Propak Africa, Ishida will demonstrate two distinct solutions that help to automate food production and packing lines, showcasing some of its latest innovations in multihead weighers, checkweighers and associated equipment.

The new Ishida CCW-SE-214 is from Ishida’s range of entry-level multihead weighers, ideal for dry food applications such as snacks, confectionery, biscuits and pasta, with a top speed of up to 90 packs per minute for the 14 head model.
 
The weigher offers excellent accuracy and reliability along with simple set-up and operation via the intuitive, simple-operation remote control unit. Easy to remove and interchangeable hoppers minimise downtime for cleaning. A choice of contact parts is available according to product requirements and the machine can be further tailored via a number of options such as inlet chute, timing hoppers and count priority software.

The iTPS™ - Ishida Total Packaging System – is the world’s fastest and most accurate complete snack food packing system, with all the major elements coming from one supplier.

Shown with Ishida’s advanced Atlas high speed, high-efficiency snack food bagmaker, Ishida multihead weigher and DACS-W checkweigher and available with throat metal detector, printer and seal tester, the fully integrated system delivers near-zero product giveaway at speeds of up to 250 bpm, excellent handling properties (thanks to its twin rotary jaw system), and variable seal time and seal pressure, all of which contribute to maximum packing line efficiency, minimum waste and highest pack quality. The iTPS’s compact design also delivers optimum return on factory space.

Part of Ishida’s advanced checkweigher range, the DACS-W-012 features unique DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology that permits accurate signal processing under a wide range of weighing.
