Fruit MedleyNet Weight Fillers | Net Weight Filling Equipment

Net weight filling equipment is the only filling method that actually weighs product prior to dispensing into the packaging container. Net weight fillers can be utilized for a wide array of purposes including counting, filling a wide array of regular and irregular sized products, and for dry or moist products. Net weight filling systems can also be set up in several formats for very gentle handling of product with the use of vibratory feed trays or belt feed systems. In fact it is not unusual to use dual trays or belts for increased accuracy where the second feeder serves as a dribble feed to top off the fill. Examples of net weight filling applications include:

PMB Linear Scales - 1 to 6 Lanes - 2 grams to 15 lbs

The PMB net weighers are vibratory scales that are versatile for almost any application within a package weight of 2 grams to 15 lbs. and for thousands of food and non-food products.  The PMB weighers use the "bulk and dribble" method vibrating the majority of the desired weight quickly into the weigh bucket (bulk speed), and the rest slowly (dribble speed) to provide an accurate weight.

Although each scale uses this method, every model is application specific designed to handle your products, interface with any automatic equipment (new or existing baggers or conveyors) provide the necessary fill rate and cleanly fill into your packages. All models are available in USDA or WDA designs.

The number of vibratory trays needed to move the product accurately into the weigh bucket is determined by the product's flow characteristics. Each system is designed to handle as many of your products as possible.

The PMB series is available in 1 to 4 lanes (and a 6 lane system for multiple container indexing applications) to meet various speed requirements or for batching products together. Our multiple lane models come standard with touch screen menu driven controls offering job storage, help menus and easy to read graphics. All scales come with non-proprietary components.

High Speed Net Weight Filling Machinery to 80 fills per minute

 

The iQ-SHUTTLE and iQ-FLiP are redefining the “weigh and fill” market by providing  small, high speed scales that price in the low to mid $20,000 price range and offer fill rates up to 50 fills per minute with the iQ-SHUTTLE and up to 80 per minute on the iQ-FLiP.  You now have a new options besides a combination scale or multiple lane linear scale for your medium high speed packaging applications.

Both scales use a continuous stream of product into the weigh hopper(s).

The iQ-SHUTTLE is a two bucket linear scale that shuttles the stream from bucket “A” to bucket “B” and guarantees no underweights.

The iQ-FLiP uses an oscillating weigh bucket directing the product to side “A” or side “B” of the bucket providing high speed with a + / – accuracy.

Fresh Fruit Fillers

The PMB-1F and the PMB-2F weigh and fill 4 to 40 ounces of fresh-cut fruit. Some examples are melon cubes, pineapple chunks, apple slices, diced tomatoes and small whole fruits like grapes and strawberries, or fruit medleys.

The PMB-F systems offer gentle handling dropping the fruit no more than 4" at any one time.

The product is vibrated into the weigh bucket using the bulk and dribble method. 98% of the desired weight is quickly vibrated into the weigh bucket and the last 2% is slowly fed into the weigh bucket using the dribble tray which singulates the last few pieces for an accurate weight. Once the desired weight is met, the product is gently and quickly ushered out by a push plate to ensure a clean discharge into the tray, bag or tub.

Fresh Cut Vegetable Fillers

The FCS 1 and the FCS-2 weigh and fill 1 to 20 lbs. of chopped, shredded, diced, batched and small whole vegetables. Some examples are lettuce, diced onions, stir-fries, cole slaw, chili peppers, celery sticks, florets and more.

These systems have a Live Bottom Bin (LBB) to receive product from a spin basket or other source. The LBB has a slow moving conveyor that feeds product first-in-first-out to the incline conveyor which delivers the product at a controlled rate to the scale head.

The product is moved to the weigh bucket using bulk and dribble belts filling 98% of the desired weight quickly and the last 2% at a slow rate using the dribble belt only. Once accurate weight is reached the product is gently and quickly ushered out by a push plate to ensure a clean discharge into the package.
