Ishida is set to install a 14-head CCW-R series model at crisp manufacturer Pipers Crisps’ plant in Brigg, Lincolnshire.
The new packaging line also includes an advanced Ishida DACS-G checkweigher for a final quality control check and comprises a 'crisp' specification designed to handle product quickly and gently throughout the weighing process.
The R series multihead weigher incorporates Ishida's R Series technology comprising its calculation software, five-stage digital filter, anti-floor vibration and load cells that are Ishida-made and enable it to maintain better accuracy at high speeds.
According to Ishida, 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 at Pipers.
Pipers Crisps production and operations manager Shaun Watson said the company uses best potatoes and seasonings to ensure an intense flavor for the consumer.
"As part of this, it is essential that our packs are presented with an accurate and consistent weight - and this is what the Ishida weighers deliver," Watson added.
