Among its many performance enhancements is product transportation to the weigh hoppers with both increased control and power of all feeders, this is especially beneficial in high volume or sticky product applications.
Furthermore, each feeder channel contains an integrated optical feedback system that uses sensors to monitor product depth in real time. This allows both the feed amplitude and time to be independently adjusted on each vibrator ensuring the perfect amount of product is conveyed to the weigh hoppers.
The result of these enhancements are higher efficiency rates with more hoppers available for each combination to deliver even higher speeds and greater accuracy, which in turn reduce giveaway and improve production output.
Additionally, an advanced vision monitoring system with multiple cameras can be positioned at the top of the weigher to monitor the product feed so that production efficiency can be maintained and further enhanced. Live camera footage can be viewed from the 16 inch colour touch screen HMI operator screen, a further CCW-AS enhancement.
From a hygienic perspective a slanted weigh drive unit cover and main body frame also enhance cleaning efficiency, thus reducing labour, increasing uptime and saving on cleaning consumables.
Despite its enhanced performance, the Ishida CCW-AS delivers a 20 percent reduction in energy consumption compared to previous models. Noise levels have also been further reduced with the weigher around 16db quieter when operating at full speed.
In summary, the Ishida CCW-AS is an exciting evolution of an already advanced weighing system, bringing further advantages to customers in productivity and also in connectivity, enabling integration with existing packing lines and factory systems as part of Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things.
