SAMD GRAVIMETRIC SCALE

Description

Designed to achieve high accuracy at various target weights, for free-flowing products. (e.g. sugar, rice and powders)

A gravimetric (weigh) filling system may be selected for a number of different reasons:

• Inconsistency of tare weight

• Criticality of fill weight

• Need to document/validate the actual fill weight filled

• Inconsistency of particles distribution/density and therefore volumetric accuracy

• Cost of product give-away.

Functions:

• Bulk and Dribble (dynamic) filling method.

• Automatic in-flight compensation for optimum speed accuracy.

• Automatic jog facility to ensure no underweight bags.

• Multiple recipes stored for different bag weight combinations.

• Totalizing of material throughput.

• IoT connectivity optional.

• Easily integrated with any vertical form fill and seal machine, or as a stand-alone system.

Mechanical Specifications:

• Cut gate filling system.

• Slide gates for cutting off product flow to each head, for quick release cleaning.

• Manufacture from 316 stainless steel.

• Festo pneumatics.

• Closed system for dust free operation

Electrical specifications:

• PLC: Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1400 1766-L32BXB.

• HMI: Allen-Bradley PanelView 800 2711R-T7T.

• Ethernet Switch: Allen-Bradley Stratix 2000, 8 port.

• Power supply: Allen-Bradley 1606-XLP.

• Switch Gear (Isolators, Circuit Breakers, etc.): Allen-Bradley.

• Weigh Scale Controllers: Flintec (Germany) DAD141.1.

Machine performance: Within <0.25% of Target Weight, tested @ 40 drops per minute at 2Kg. per drop weight (sugar).
