A bespoke automated weighing and packing system from Ishida Europe is allowing Tryton Foods to automate the packing of its Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire puddings.

An Ishida multihead weigher on each line now weighs and packs the puddings into two packs at a time. Software records the average individual weight of each Yorkshire pudding to ensure that the bags of 12, 15 and 25 puddings are all of the correct weight.

The weighers are fitted with an enhanced auto feed function to allow the feed of puddings to the hoppers to be automatically adjusted during operation in order to smooth out the supply of puddings to each pool and weigh hopper.

The system has enabled Tryton Foods to change the packaging of its Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire puddings from flow-wrapped trays to bags.

In order to keep downtime to a minimum, washing facilities have been installed at the top of the gantry by the weighers. This allows faster cleaning of the machines between production runs.
