Challenges

• Must be packed to high accuracy levels
• Must look good in the tray – post-weighing styling is often called for
• Hygiene must be perfect for the shelf life to be guaranteed
• Frequent product changeovers require distribution tool flexibility and easy clean-ability

Solution

Due to the direct weighing, self-adjusting and -taring properties of our weighing lines our accuracy is unsurpassed. And our custom-built distribution tools ensure accurate placing in the product receptacle every time, while our new recess-free chassis design makes cleaning and daily hygiene a breeze – a factor that, together with the interchangeable distribution tools, also contributes to our fast pro-duct changeover times.

Challenges Solution

• Must meet fixed weight demands with virtually no rejects
• Freezer buffering is essential in case of line downtime
• Must be quickly adaptable to different packing weights/containers

Solution

Very high accuracy at the weigher level makes our weighing lines optimally suited for fixed weight production runs. Our superior workmanship and parts policy ensures minimum unplanned downtime, and the built-in buffering system keeps product frozen in the event of a packing line bottleneck situation. And finally, all Bilwinco packaging solutions have the shortest and smoothest changeovers in the industry!

Challenges

• Marinated beef or pork is difficult to move and tends to stick to every surface
• Marinated products pose extra challenges to the clean-ability of the weigher
• Frequent product and packaging changeovers mean frequent cleaning and frequent distribution tool changes too
• In mechanically aided product transport systems the meat and the marinade tends to become separated, making the output quality unpredictable.

Solution

Our new radial feeder vibrators can be set to vibrate at the natural frequency of the product, something that will keep any product moving! This means no particular considerations are necessary upstream of the weigher. It is also extremely hygienic; our tests have shown reductions in cleaning times of up to 50% compared to comparable products, and with the custom-built interchangeable distribution tools the changeover times are reduced even more. Furthermore, with the BW Revolution Series even the most difficult and/or sticky product will be moving along at top speed!
