loss in weight sf-III, powder filling auger machine

Loss In Weight SF-III Control & Operation

The dose required is entered via the operator pod, and settings include the ability to optimise auger and stirrer speeds in order to obtain the best performance for individual products. These settings are saved against unique product codes, allowing quick and efficient changeover times from one product to another. A tooling screen is available to the operator at all times, to advise on specific tooling requirements related to each set of product parameters. When running in volumetric mode, stopping accuracy is achieved by the high specification drive system engineered around a precision encoder.

The control pod is both feature rich & 'State of the Art'. It is completely sealed against dust and liquids. Much effort & thought has been applied to ensure simple intuitive machine set-up and user friendliness.

Utilising a password protected engineer's facility, all machines are installed with standard software, with the precise machine configuration being factory set. This provides an excellent basis for customer support, with all control enhancements included at no extra cost, allowing for machine configurations to be changed, should additional equipment be incorporated at a later date. Use of flash memory & provision of PC link connector enables all machines to be easily and speedily upgraded with new functionality offered through our commitment to ongoing development, providing you with the peace of mind that the most advanced filler available today will also be the most advanced filler tomorrow.

All machines are manufactured to a very high standard in 316 stainless steel.

Loss-in-weight auger fillers are high quality, high performance machines for applications where weigh filling is required in applications that do not easily allow for traditional weighpan or platform configurations, but still maintaining ease of set-up and user friendliness.

As with all G Webb Automation auger fillers, interface signals allowing connection to other packaging equipment is included as standard. A printer output is included providing full, comprehensive statistical reporting of filling data. The facility is also included on all machines to print hard copy reports of product & machine parameters.

‘EasiFill’ EF-III/PB Gravimetric Siamese Auger filler

Featuring direct drive servo system for use in automatic bag / box presentation machines

The design shown is for use with a Vertical form Fill & seal machine where accurate weighing of portions is required to maintain productivity and remove the requirement of Re-Work. Each discharge is dynamically weighed during filling to ensure exact weight, and discharged alternatively from two filling points, into a collection tube with timing flap. This timing flap reduces the possibility of dust in the sealing area & enables good speed with accuracy on difficult to handle products such as food & Bakery ingredients.

As each portion is weighed, statistical data can be sent via an Ethernet connection to a networked PC or server reference & traceability. Data includes production speed, throughput KG, Batch Size, Standard Deviation, Average weight, min & max weight, no of discharges & CP (Control process data CP CPk+ CPk-). A high resolution colour touch screen continually shows the status of the machine, the weights of each discharged portion and current batch & shift filling statistics.

Recipe recall & bulk product feed set up can also be stored to a Bar code and subsequently selected using bar code reader. This ensures machine set-up integrity without the worry of human error.
