Pipers Crisps is set to install a CCW-R series multihead weigher line at its factory in Brigg, Lincolnshire, to handle product quickly and gently throughout the weighing process.
The new 14-head packing line features an advanced Ishida DACS-G checkweigher for a final quality control check.
It incorporates Ishida's R Series technology, five-stage digital filter, anti-floor vibration and Ishida-made load cells that allow maintaining accuracy at high speeds.
The weigher is achieving accuracy to within 1% of target at speeds of 80 packs per minute for 40g bags and 28 packs per minute for the 150g size, within its capabilities of maximum 120 bags per minute.
Pipers Crisps produces various premium potato crisps from locally sourced potatoes and uses the finest seasonings to flavor them. The range includes Cider Vinegar and Sea Salt and Lye Cross Cheddar and Onion as well as Spicy Tomato, Chilli and the newly-launched Chorizo.
