Heat and Control is celebrating with its partner, Ishida, which has reached its 50th anniversary of multihead weighing.
To commemorate the milestone, Ishida has released a new CCW-AS (Computer Combination Weighing-Advantage Series) multihead weigher.
Ishida’s long history in weighing began in 1893 when it became Japan’s first private weighing equipment manufacturer during a new age of industrial modernisation.
First introduced for agricultural applications, multihead weighers are now an indispensable technology across a wide range of markets. Boasting industry-leading accuracy, Ishida’s fixed quantity weighing solutions are a product of choice in virtually every sector, from dry and frozen food, fresh meat, poultry and fish, and pharmaceuticals.
Ishida says the CCW-AS Series offers significant increases in productivity: The advanced automation raises the bar in high-speed challenging weighing applications, delivers unbeatable value, improves manufacturing and packaging efficiencies, and improves product quality and safety. This next generation model achieves an internal calculation of 0.01g weighing accuracy.
The highly efficient operation reduces downtime and maximises yield per hour, Ishida says. Smarter controls reduce operator intervention and labour reliance while enhancing robustness and reliability in harsh environments, improving production uptime.
The smart tablet touchscreen with intuitive operation reduces reliance on skilled operators. The advanced visual capabilities assist with operation, efficiency, and IoT connectivity and data handling capacity.
Reduced energy consumption and lower noise levels contribute to a more environmentally sustainable system. The hygienic design reduces chemical and water usage, improves food safety, and reduces cleaning time.
The CCW-AS Series ideal applications include:
- Snack foods;
- fresh produce, and salad;
- meat, poultry, and seafood;
- prepared foods;
- meat alternative products;
- frozen vegetables;
- candy and confectionery;
- baked snacks;
- cheese;
- french fries;
- fruit;
- pet food, and
- pharmaceuticals.
Heat and Control says it looks forward to its continued partnership with Ishida as it celebrate future anniversaries.
