WEIGHING & BAGGING Highest calibre
Mettler Toledo’s mass lab has been UKAS accredited for calibration for over two years and they are now pleased to make this service available to customers. Weight calibration forms such an important role because good practice guidelines advise that regular checks on the condition and accuracy of weights should be performed. The accuracy of test weights can be affected over time by environmental influences or deterioration due to use. The mass lab has been designed to accurately calibrate weights, within a carefully controlled environment. Accreditation meets the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and UKAS calibration certificates detail the description of the weight, its uncertainty of measurement and deviation to the tolerance limits of OIML.

Entry level machines
PFM Packaging Machinery demonstrated its two latest entry-level machines for the food industry: the Pearl servo-driven flow-wrapper and the ZC1 combined weigher-bagger at this year’s Pro2Pac. The Pearl provides smaller or start-up operations with the advantages of multi-axis servo drive, reducing maintenance requirements and providing easy programming and changeover for different pack formats, which can be held in memory for press-button recall. The ZC1 is an integrated multihead weigher and bagging machine for mid-speed duties up to 80 bags a minute, handling dry goods such as snacks, confectionery, and granular products. It brings together the PFM Zenith bagger and the PFM C1 multihead weigher, which is mounted on the bagger itself, avoiding the cost of the usual supporting gantry.
