On The Fly Tray Loading Solution Replaces Traditional Collate & Load

Blueprint Automation’s Spider 100v loading solution replaces a traditional collate and load system, eliminating racetrack collation and potential jam points. Increasing line efficiency, the solution will pick random, un-oriented product eliminating the need to perfectly orient the product prior to entering the packer. The integrated vision system provides built-in product inspection, detecting double wraps, bad product size and more. The Spider 100v handles trays, cartons, cases and other secondary containers, and can include a u-board divider, giving ultimate flexibility to the processor and co-packer.

C-Series Checkweighing Sets New Standards

Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection’s C-Series checkweighing systems are setting new standards for speed and precision with the addition of new load cell technology, allowing them to achieve industry-leading throughputs. The FlashCell load cells weigh food products at speeds of up to 800 ppm, with precision better than required by Measuring Instrument Directive (MID). With three different load cell types in the FlashCell portfolio, food manufacturers can select the appropriate load cell for their products. Users of Mettler-Toledo C-Series checkweighers can quickly process products and increase weighing precision. Manufacturers also benefit from smaller checkweighing system footprints to fit within limited factory floor space.
