ISHIDA: Packing line solutions demonstrated at Foodex 07 Jan 2010

A high-speed tray packing line, multihead weighing solutions for fresh, sticky products, an entry level X-ray inspection system and the latest checkweigher developments are the major packing line solutions that Ishida Europe will be demonstrating at Foodex.
The integrated weighing and tray sealing system enables both fresh and frozen products to be handled with line efficiency. Output is up to 120 trays per minute, with minimal waste.
 
The system combines Ishida’s high speed RS-216 multihead weigher with the company’s QX-1100 tray sealer. The RS-216 delivers

products in accurate and consistent portions to a sophisticated tray tracking and filling system, which deposits the portions neatly into the trays.
 
The filled trays are then sealed by the QX-1100 tray sealer, which features double-track configuration and the use of servo motors to ensure maximum efficiency. In addition, sealing can be carried out with an inside cut profile to enhance pack presentation.
 
Further benefits of the line are low manpower and maintenance requirements, and close to zero downtime levels.
 
The Ishida CCW-R-214W-S/15 Screw Feeder Weigher allows the fully automatic, accurate and consistent weighing of fresh sticky products, such as meat, poultry, fish and seafood. The Ishida Screw Feed design utilises the familiar circular multihead weigher layout but incorporates unique rotating corkscrews to replace the traditionally used radial feed troughs. The use of these screws provides a powerful, controlled and fully automatic product feed to the pool and weigh hoppers.
 
The 214W-S/15 model incorporates 1.5 litre pneumatic driven plastic scraper hoppers with a maximum speed of 60 wpm.
 
The Ishida CCW-NZ-106 Fresh Food Weigher provides another alternative to the handling and weighing of sticky products. It features a linear multihead design, fed by belts from an infeed table. Two operators are then stationed within comfortable reach of the product infeed, and adjust the flow of product so that each pool hopper receives a roughly equal amount.
 
 
As well as its DACS-W-012 checkweigher, Ishida will also be demonstrating its recently launched Data Capture System (IDCS). The system, which can link up to 100 Ishida checkweighers, is a user-friendly, secure software programme that offers an extensive range of reporting options to enable production managers to employ state-of-the-art monitoring for legislative compliance whilst also identifying cost saving opportunities, minimising product giveaway and improving production efficiencies.
