FOOD & BEVERAGE INDUSTRY FOCUS HIGHLY ACCURATE WEIGHING SYSTEMS
Anritsu Infivis is targeting the UK market with its latest range of SSV Checkweighers designed to provide higher accuracy and better line productivity than conventional systems by utilising Smart Measurement Function (SMF) technology to minimise unnecessary rejects. Conventional checkweighers use the
weigh cell signal after signal processing to determine the weight of each product as it passes over the weigh table. If two packs are detected at the same
time a ‘double product error’ will occur and the system is forced to reject both products since each individual product weight cannot be determined. Product spacing is normally established by these systems through increasing the checkweigher conveyor speed, compared to the normal line speed to prevent two products being on the weigh scale at the same time. Double products are then rejected with an error rate of 0.15% while due to the increased conveyor speed scale accuracy is 0.75g. The versatile SSV Series is among the most advanced food weighing equipment of its type in the world, boasting innovative signal processing, multi-threaded filtering and improved scale resolution to minimise ‘double
product errors’. SSV Checkweighers equipped with SMF provide product spacing while conveyor speed is maintained. By running slower the SSV system offers higher accuracy even if two products are on the weigh scale at the same time. Double product rejection rate is down with an error rate of just 0.03% however scale accuracy is maintained at 0.35g. Anritsu’s ultra-sensitive and hygienic SSV Series is available in various models in both waterproof and non- waterproof versions incorporating precision-engineered construction for high accuracy, high speed and high protection suitable for a range of applications including heavy products. They are supplied with a colour LCD touch screen, enhancing usability and system navigation. Six standard view screens are available to quickly see product weight or trending information. The SSV supports 200 different products which can be stored in the memory of the machine. Anritsu designs and develops all its products in-house to support every solution with 100% confidence.

CUSTOM FOOD TRAY WASHING SOLUTIONS
Responding to the requirements of food distributors that need to wash large volumes of the trays used to transport goods to retail outlets Industrial Washing Machines (IWM) working in close co-operation with Autarky Automation has developed a highly customisable range of tray washing solutions that can be supplied with automated tray handling equipment for the infeed/exit of the IWM Tray Washer. IWM’s T4000 tray washer is capable of washing and drying up to 4,000 trays per hour. Developed with economy, efficiency and reliability in mind, the high-performance machines can be customised to suit the user’s exact requirements but typically offer a three- stage wash cycle plus air-blast drying. In a three-stage T4000 machine the trays receive a pre-wash to remove most of the soiling followed by the main wash with detergent and hot water. The final wash stage is jetting with hot water to remove detergent residues. The water at this stage can be heated to 85 ºC to ensure sanitisation. At every stage the water is re-circulated after filtering to minimise energy and water usage without compromising performance.
