Hygienic checkweigher with new functions
Swivel arm sorter expands the application possibilities of the Checkweigher CWP Neptune
from Bizerba to open packaging
(firmenpresse) - Balingen, 13th Mai 2011 – With its Checkweigher CWP Neptune, Bizerba, the solutions
provider from Balingen, Germany, developed a checkweigher in a targeted way in order
to allow for weighing and sorting perishable and unpackaged food such as minced meat.
On the international packaging exhibition interpack taking place from 12 to 18 May 2011
in Düsseldorf, Germany, (hall 14, stand C 14), Bizerba will present new features of the
model which was designed in accordance with European hygiene standards.
The Checkweigher CWP Neptune from Bizerba stands out for its optimal hygiene
properties, a minimum of components and thus its low maintenance costs and high level
of availability. The checkweigher was developed in line with the criteria of the European
Hygienic Engineering and Design Group (EHEDG). Compared to other checkweighers, it
does not require any driving and deflection rollers, since it is operated with a single
conveyor belt as well as with a single engine throughout the entire system. For instance,
units with feeding, weighing and discharge belts can become a hygiene problem, as
production residues may fall from the belt at their individual transitions and accumulate
in those parts of the machine that are difficult to reach. The hygienic design of the CWP
Neptune prevents production residues from entering the interior of the unit. Thus, the
system remains clean and can be cleaned quickly and with little effort. The tightly welded
load cell also provides for an additional level of hygiene and reliability, since the
entering of cleaning agents and the formation of condensation water in the cell can be
prevented.
On the interpack in Düsseldorf, Bizerba will demonstrate the application of the CWP
Neptune as to the weighing of open trays, for instance with barbecue meat. The
challenge: In order to prevent the meat trays from falling down whilst being discharged,
this unit is delivered without a folding conveyor belt. An optional swivel arm sorter will
from now on push the trays with incorrect weights from the belt. “If the customers have
their own discharge stations, they can dispense with the swivel arm sorter in favour of a
shorter unit length. In this case, Bizerba provides the discharge signals which are required
in terms of the control which is then to be performed by the customer”, explains Dieter
Conzelmann, Director Industry Solutions at Bizerba. Another innovation: In addition to
the base model with a weighing platform having a length of 250 millimetres, Bizerba is
now offering the CWP Neptune with a weighing platform having a length of 400
millimetres in order to allow for the processing of packaging sizes with a length of more
than 250 millimetres. Here, the swivel arm sorter is also optionally available.
Moreover, the application of the CWP Neptune was successfully tested in the hygienically
sensitive area of bakeries: The unit weighs the wet amounts of dough that was portioned
on a dough plate, discharges products with incorrect weights via the retraction belt and
returns them to the dough plate. “In doing so, the dough portioner also receives the
information required to determine by how many grammes a dough piece with an
incorrect weight deviates from its specified weight and in which direction the weight has
to be corrected. Thus, it is possible to reduce the give-away", says Conzelmann.
According to him, dough portions exceeding their target weights are still frequently
produced in the dough sector. “The portions often exceed their specified weight by up to
30 grammes. Taken together, it is now possible to save several hundred to more than a
thousand euro per week“.
