Crisp packaging equipment
Pipers Crisps’ factory in Lincolnshire, UK, has recently installed a 14-head CCW-R series multihead weigher in a special ‘crisp’ specification from Ishida, which is designed to handle product quickly and gently throughout the weighing process. This new packing line also includes an Ishida DACS-G checkweigher for a final quality control check.
The R series multihead weigher incorporates Ishida’s R Series technology comprising its combination calculation software, 5-stage digital filter, anti-floor vibration and load cells that are designed to maintain accuracy at high speeds. At Pipers, the weigher is achieving speeds of 80 packs per minute for 40g bags and 28 packs per minute for the 150g size.
The Ishida DACS-G checkweigher features a digital loadcell that is able to operate even in harsh environments and switch between two weighing capacities and graduations.
