Weighing expertise for snacks

Highlights of Ishida new launches at Interpack include new multihead weighers for confectionery, snacks, granular products and fruit and vegetables; a new X-ray system capable of detecting small bones in meat and poultry; new weigher/bagmaker combinations for snacks; and the latest advances in complete packing lines for fresh meat and poultry.

The Ishida stand will be divided into four sections to showcase the firm's different sectors of expertise.

In Weighing Solutions, the company will unveil a 32-head mix weigher from its RV range, capable of mixing up to eight different products for discharge into the same bag or for discharging a single product into a high speed packaging machine, and therefore ideal for confectionery, nuts, frozen food or high-speed multi-compartment applications.

In its Snacks Solutions section, it will demonstrate a new entry-level weigher/bagmaker combination, the First Range, which offers an economic, medium speed solution for snacks packing. Also on show will be an 18-head model from the advanced Ishida RV range, ideal in combination with its Atlas twin rotary snacks bagmakers to deliver speeds of up to 140 bags a minute per side for potato chips.
