A BREWERY IN THE SNACK BUSINESS

The snacks fall from above onto the distribution plate of the ten-head scale, with their supply being automatically regulated by a weighing cell. Through vibrating separately controllable radial grooves, the products are transported evenly to trays, whose flaps are driven by high-performance stepper motors. A digital weighing signal filtering enables the high accuracy of 0.1 g for the calculation of weight combinations. The scale discharges the correctly measured product portions directly into the tubular bagging machine through a funnel. The Locher brewery currently produces packaging with filling weights of 10 g, 30 g and 90 g. The product changes happen at lightning speed by calling up default settings. In accordance with the format, between 30 and 50 bags are filled per minute, as the Ishida CCW-SE3 Multihead Weigher facilitates the attainment of significantly higher speeds. With regard to accuracy, the performance also corresponds to the specifications, the maximum overfilling is 1.2 g.
 
 
 

 

 

"Installation of a fully automatic packaging system. One reference partner for the entire line"

Yves Habermacher, Production Manager

 

Challenge

Meeting the growing demand for the product and importing, building an Inhouse production and packaging process, as well as creating a line and process that reflect the environmentally friendly product.

 

 

Solution
