In the food and beverage industry the checkweigher has become an essential part of the end-of-line inspection and control systems as it dynamically measures the real weight of the 100% daily production, rejects non-compliant products (over- or underweight) and avoids missing items or components.
This means that all market legal requirements can be fulfilled, especially the strictest ones set by the Retail Food industry as to HACCP batch traceability, weight accuracy and quality control.
And when it comes to unpackaged food, a checkweigher helps avoid overfilling. The immediate feedback of its software indeed allows real-time filler monitoring and adjustment which translates into a significant reduction of product giveaway and impressive money saving. On the other hand there’s no risk of commercializing underweight products which can harm the producer’s and its distributors’ reputation and market reliability.
“NEMESIS is an Italian company which has been designing and manufacturing checkweighers and other industrial automation solutions since 1976” explains Riccardo Neri, Managing Director of the company.
“Over the last 47 years our mission has been doing research and developing innovative systems in the dynamic weighing field.
EasyWeigh® is the state-of-theart technology of our checkweighers that, thanks to its algorithm, allows us to weigh every new product format, without the need of any calibration or learning procedures, no matter its shape or orientation in the line”.
In its constant search for improvement this year NEMESIS is launching “NEXT”, the new generation of checkweighers, which has reached the challenging goal of weighing, with MID-certified results, products from 5g up, with 0.2g accuracy and conveyor belt speed up to 100 m/min.
“We know by experience that for a food or beverage producer a 0.2g overfill in every single package is worth many thousands Euro every year, that’s why we strived to get the MID certification to guarantee our customers such a scale interval even on a conveyor belt running 66% faster than the market standards. An outstanding result for our industry” continues Riccardo Neri.
“And we couldn’t develop a new generation of machines disregarding the sustainability issue. That’s why NEXT checkweighers feature a slimmer, modular and more compact chassis, to avoid an unnecessary volume of steel without compromising on sturdiness and stability and leaving a smaller footprint on the environment in all phases of its lifetime: from production to handling, from shipment to final disposal. Even the use of plastic in its design has been minimized nearly to zero.”
In a retail market which becomes more demanding and challenging year after year, the industry must rely on solution providers offering cutting-edge machinery to stay competitive on the market and keep its business profitable and sustainable at the same time.
And NEMESIS is definitely one of these providers
