Small Is Beautiful For New Ishida Micro
Ishida Europe has introduced an enhanced version of its market-leading multihead weigher specifically designed for ultra-low target weights.
Ishida Europe has introduced an enhanced version of its market-leading multihead weigher specifically designed for ultra-low target weights. The new Ishida Micro incorporates the latest features from Ishida’s advanced RV series to deliver speeds of up to 120 weighments per minute at unsurpassed accuracy to within 0.01g on packs between 0.5g and 40g. It is ideal for products such as herbs and spices, tea leaves, soup ingredients, dehydrated vegetables, seeds, tablets and capsules.
The compact design, (a small 650mm x 650mm footprint and a maximum height of only 970mm) enables it to fit into the tightest of factory spaces. Easily removable troughs, hoppers and chutes speed up cleaning times. Equally important, the minimal gaps between contact parts further improve product transfer and minimise risk of product spillage or loss, while the hygienically designed hoppers and drive units also reduce dust build up and cleaning times.
An interactive 3D menu with clear icons and colour touch LCD screen makes machine operation easy to understand and control. Data exchange can be carried out through a USB memory stick, and the Micro also offers flexible connectivity for Ethernet communication or via SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition).
Advanced Ishida RV technologies incorporated into the Ishida Micro include a highly sensitive weighing sensor in the dispersion table, which provides smooth, very precise and stable automatic product feed. Stable and reliable stepper motor drives enable the highest weighing speeds and operating efficiency to be achieved. In addition, the availability of a C-shaped main body option with off-centre discharge chute means two weighers can be configured in pairs to enable either mix weighing or a multiple outlet configuration.
