Checkweighers bake a better cake
Weighing equipment and product inspection specialist Mettler-Toledo has supplied Northern Food subsidiary Park Cakes of Oldham with a range of precision weighing and inspection equipment to replace ageing equipment at the bakery.
The new equipment is designed to improve consistency of weighing and check for metal contamination.
Mettler Toledo supplied Park Cakes with 11 units made up of its combined metal detection and checkweighing system, the S3 CombiChecker, and its S3 Checkweigher.
As products pass through the CombiChecker, weights are recorded and any products contaminated with metal are rejected by pneumatic pushers. The S3 Checkweigher includes a height adjustment device, reversible direction of travel and continuous control of belt speed.
