New Products: Equipment - Density sensor

The Series DS is an ultrasonic density sensor that allows for measuring of product at the auger base before the product is dispensed into the package. The operator programs the density controller by inputting the auger's known volume/revolution and the desired target weight.

The Series DS is an ultrasonic density sensor that allows for measuring of product at the auger base before the product is dispensed into the package. The operator programs the density controller by inputting the auger's known volume/revolution and the desired target weight. The input from the ensor allows the controller to compute the weight/revolution of the auger and control the clutch and break in order to dispense the precise weight for each package. Suitable for use with a variety of product types, the sensor eliminates the need for checkweighers and feedback systems, the co. says. It's easy to install and set up, and it was designed with bag- and pouch-filling applications in mind.
