Automatic weighing units

This unit has been developed for use in many industries. The holding hopper is fed by the elevator at a constant speed (adjustable) until it reaches its first target point. The speed is then reduced enabling target value to be reached with high accuracy. The machine can be manufactured from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel and food quality plastic complying with the food and hygiene standards. The open belt design allows easy access for cleaning and sanitising. Conforming to weights and measures act, the machine can achieve an accuracy of 0.002 kg.

Visual imaging and grading systems

The product image is obtained on the initial camera belt. The image can be either illuminated from above or below to provide the necessary contrast. The machine depicted had 8 distinct discharge points on either side central belt assembly. Once the image has been processed and sized, a grade can be allocated. The pneumatic discharge jet simply fires as the product passes the correct discharge point.
