Light, fast-flowing potato chips can lead to weighing errors and giveaway

Multihead Weigher - RV Series
Our high speed chute design ensures that product is transferred from weigh hoppers to the bag in a controlled manner. This ensures a gap between products for the bagmaker to make its seal.

 

Salt and flavouring can stick to moving machine parts

Multihead Weigher 
Automatic feed control ensures that the vibration is kept to optimum levels, as product and flavouring builds up between clean downs.

Accurately validate a variation of pack weights

Checkweigher
With various weigh conveyors available, Ishida checkweighers can tailored specifically to a single pack size or for a range of product bag lengths.

Maintaining shelf life on products through pack integrity

Seal and Leak Detection - TSC-AS
The Ishida TSC-AS seal checker is designed to receive packs directly from the bagmaker checking for any possible leakage caused by defective sealing.
