Ishida Europe Updates Its Line of Multihead Weighers

Ishida Europe will launch a new line of multihead weighers in November, marking the 11th generation of the business.

When handling more challenging items, the product will offer unparalleled levels of speed and precision, according to Food Safety Africa.

Right now, the company’s top-of-the-line RV multihead weigher and its high-performance Inspira rotary bagmaker are combined into the Inspira iTPS (Integrated Total Packaging System).

With an efficiency of greater than 99%, the system can produce up to 200 bags per minute (bpm) of extruded snacks and up to 150 bpm of potato chips.

The bagmaker can handle a range of films, including standard, metalized, recyclable, and biodegradable, as well as gusseted and block bottom bags, with the use of advanced software and servo-controlled variable seal time, jaw temperature, and jaw pressure.

With Ishida’s tried-and-true iTPSTM software installed, the Inspira is simple to fully integrate with the company’s other weighing and inspection systems.

With an integrated Ishida TSC sealtester and force balance checkweigher, it is demonstrated as a high-speed solution for leak detection, fill level monitoring, and pack weight management. The TSC sealtester is also specified with AAF (Auto Air-Fill) feedback software, which automatically monitors and adjusts the pack inflation level on the bagmaker.

A low-cost option that is ideal for increasing capacity and introducing automation into growing food businesses is the Ishida CHW-214 multihead weigher. The weigher can process dry, free-flowing products like pasta, cereal, crackers, cookies, and snack foods at a rate of up to 90 packs per minute.

Strong options for quality control and food safety are provided to food producers by the two state-of-the-art Ishida X-ray inspection systems. The scanner can also detect uneven and overlapping items, which helps to reduce false detections and product waste.

For a variety of packaged and unpackaged products, the Ishida IX-GN-4044-S provides best-in-class foreign body identification and quality control, ensuring unmatched food safety and brand protection. The device can identify a variety of foreign objects at high inspection speeds, such as aluminum, tin, glass, stone, hard rubber, dense plastic, Teflon, PVC, bones, and shells. In addition, users can increase the X-ray system’s sensitivity to specific objects thanks to Ishida’s Genetic Algorithm (GA) technology. The device also has quality control features for component counting, weight estimation, missing or broken part detection, and product flaw and deformity detection.
