Processing

Phase 1
Product delivery from the upstream equipment
• Product is delivered in multilane or single file format.

1

Phase 2
Create product separation
• From the downstream conveyors (1) the product is transferred onto the in-feed conveyors (2).
These are set to operate at a higher linear speed than the conveyor feeding it.
• The speed differential is adjustable to create an optimal gap between products prior to weighing.

2

Phase 3
Weigh each product
• From the in-feed conveyor the product is transferred onto a weigh-conveyor (3).
• A calibrated precision load-cell is used to weigh the product.
• Multiple weight readings per product will be processed to ensure accurate weight readings.
• The weight of each product is compared to a user defined target weight (nominal product weight)
and the upper and lower weight limits.
• The average weight per lane is calculated and displayed on the system Human Machine Interface (HMI)
as a numerical value and as a +/- percentage of the target weight.

Phase 4
Transfer to downstream equipment
• From the weigh conveyor (3) or, if fitted, from the out-feed conveyor (4) the product is transferred
onto the down stream equipment conveyors.
• The speed of the conveyors is adjustable so that the gap between the products created
during step two (above) is reduced to provide the optimal oven loading.
