Ishida Europe has introduced a 10 head and a 14 head multihead weigher specifically designed to deliver fast and accurate weighing of fragile products such as biscuits, wafers and coated frozen foods – products that can pose a challenge for automated weighing systems.

The design of the new CCW-RV 10 & 14 head GS (Gentle Slope) weighers incorporates gentle slopes and reduced angles throughout the weigher to ease the passage of the products. Bancollan inserts for the hoppers and discharge chute provide effective cushioning, while a unique curved pool and weigh hopper design delivers controlled deceleration, thus further minimizing the potential for breakages. In addition, a ring shutter helps prevent breakages due to product collisions in the discharge chute during product transfer into the packaging machine.

The CCW-RV 10 & 14 head GS models offer all the proven benefits of the Ishida RV range with its reputation for unsurpassed accuracy and efficiency. All heads are capable of being used in a single combination calculation, and the unique triple combination calculation software can calculate three optimal weight combinations, double checks them and then selects the one nearest to the target weight, all in a single cycle. This minimizes error discharges and increases efficiency, while also enhancing weighing accuracy and consistency. Anti-floor vibration removes background vibration from the load cell output signal, therefore improving signal stability and machine accuracy. Speeds of up to 65 per minute for the 10 head and 90 packs per minute for the 14 head can be achieved, depending on product characteristics and required target weights.
