Potato weighing solution for high-precision processing
In the food processing industry, achieving consistent weight accuracy for products like potatoes can be challenging. The need for precise weighing becomes critical in maintaining quality standards and minimizing product wastage, especially in batch processing or packaging applications.
Ensures precise weighments with minimal give-away
The Sormac AFW-40DB is an advanced weighing system designed to provide highly accurate weight measurements for potatoes. This solution employs a slide chain conveyor system and a wet surge hopper that can hold between 200 to 250 kg of potatoes. The electrical panel includes illuminated weight parameters and touchscreen control, allowing operators to create custom recipes and perform tasks like automatic tearing after a set number of weights. With its modular feeding belt, the product is elevated to the weighing hopper, which has a maximum capacity of 25 liters (approximately 15 kg). The belt speed adjusts automatically to ensure the pre-set weight is achieved accurately, reducing product giveaway dramatically. The entire system is robust, hygienic, and simple to operate, making it suitable for high-capacity processing environments handling between 1,200 – 1,800 kg per hour depending on the product and operational mode.
