ABOVE: At Johanning Snack, packs under test heads must comply with pre-set seal integrity parameters.
The introduction of sealtesters and checkweighers from Ishida is enabling specialist German potato chip brand Johanning Snack to maintain quality control on its recently upgraded high capacity packing lines.
JOHANNING SNACK produces 12 different crisp pack formats, with fill weights ranging from 20g to 200g. When the end-of-line packing systems were automated in 2018, it meant upgrading quality control facilities as well. Employees had previously checked the density of the sealed packets by hand, and weight monitoring was a matter of spot checks.
The Ishida sealtesters and checkweighers installed at the company deliver a control solution capable of operating at high speeds, for example up to 85 packs per minute for a 115g bag, with only the upstream systems preventing them from achieving even higher speeds.
“Ishida was the only supplier to offer both sealtesters and checkweighers in one package,” explains Andre Wurz, technical manager at Johanning Snack, adding that, “Our previous experience with Ishida for other packaging machines in our production facility has been excellent.”
