Versatilty for fresh produce packing

Weighing solutions specifically developed for the special characteristics of fresh produce, and cost-effective entry-level tray sealing and X-ray machines will be demonstrated by Ishida Europe at Fruit Logistica 2017.

The Ishida CCW-RV-214-70-S-FPR-1 mulithead weigher is part of the company’s newly-launched Sector Solutions range, with models developed to ensure the optimum handling and accurate weighing of specific product types.  This includes reduced discharge angles and drop distances to minimise bruising during product transfer.

The weigher delivers the RV’s reputation for unsurpassed accuracy and efficiency, while its unique triple combination calculation software can calculate three optimal weight combinations, double check them and then select the one nearest to the target weight - all in a single cycle.  This minimises error discharges, increasing efficiency while also enhancing weighing accuracy and consistency.

Another weighing solution on show, particularly appropriate for sticky sliced fruit and marinated or oiled vegetables, is the Ishida CCW-M-106 FFW (Fresh Food Weigher).  This 6-head multihead weigher features a linear design, with weigh hoppers fed by belts from an infeed table where an operator can be positioned to help direct and control the flow of product to ensure a regular and consistent supply to all hoppers for consistent weighing accuracy.
