Technology To Cut Manpower Needs and Boost Productivity
The Weight Grader offers numerous benefits for fish producers in these challenging economic times.
2022 is proving to be an especially tough year for many businesses across the world. Costs are spiralling and margins are taking a pounding.
At the same time, the global food industry is facing more issues now than ever, including staffing headaches as well as the constant need to satisfy ever higher quality and safety expectations, while still keeping products moving out the door.
Moreover, it is increasingly difficult to adjust to the ever-growing demand for predictable, fast and efficient processing systems that can guarantee sustainable long-term value to their business at affordable prices.
The PERUZA Flow Weight Grader offers the perfect solution to all of these needs.
What does the Weight Grader do?
It has been created to enable continuous and fast fish dosing in boxes. This is achieved by making precise weight or size measurements of all individual fish before they are placed into relevant boxes.
What is the Process?
The PERUZA Weight Grader grades fish in boxes by specific size or by weight.
An operator uses an infeed Z-type conveyor, with one product per pocket. It is then transferred to an acceleration conveyor.
Each product is weighed separately in a flow weight conveyor unit.
The weight of each of these products is compared to the correct exit gate grade and transported along the main conveyor to the corresponding exit gate.
With the boxes at the stations, they are transferred to the exit gate when they are close to the target weight. The machine then selects the exit gate that has the lowest possible up-weight compared to other gates.
What Are the Main Benefits?
The grading technology brings many benefits to the end user:
No Time Lost
The continuous grading process means no time is wasted.
Accuracy
Precise and fast weighing of fish.
Reduced Manpower
The weight grader only requires one operator at each gate. This machinery can replace up to 20 manual processing operators.
