Ishida Cut-Gate weigher range for handling granular products

Click2Contact

Ishida has launched a range of high-speed Cut-Gate weighers for handling granular products which can be easily damaged by auger or volumetric cup fillers.

The range has a weigh hopper that minimises the discharge time of the weighed product without spillage, along with a Cut-Gate mechanism that the company claims improves product feeding and offers a faster processing capability than the previous version. The weigher delivers up to 30 weighments/min/head, depending on product type, Ishida claims, while maintaining good accuracy and gentle handling.

The weigher is suitable for a range of granular products including detergents, freeze-dried coffee, tea and other drink granules, sugar, salt and couscous.

The servomotor-powered gate offers a gentle but precise opening and closing profile which controls product feeding to preserve particle size and structure while reducing dust emissions.

Easy to operate, clean and maintain, the weigher has quick product changeovers to minimise downtime. The dustproof construction has weighing components that are enclosed in an easily detachable cover. A sealed enclosure for gas flushing is also available.

The range comprises 10 different models that can be designed to meet product, pack and line requirements, in addition to the 14 models available in the standard Cut-Gate weigher range.
