Automated weighing doesn't have to mean product damage

As a food manufacturer, we appreciate you need to achieve high productivity, and minimum giveaway with minimum breakages. For fragile products, it may seem that this combination is impossible. Whether you are dealing with fragile bakery products, delicate seafood or brittle foods in general, Ishida Europe has a broad range of solutions to manage the product characteristic, speed, production yield and budget requirements. Sounds too good to be true? On the contrary, our adapted Multihead Weighers for fragile products are configured to achieve these objectives. To do this, we focus on reducing drop distances, controlling and eliminating product impact as well as employing specialist materials and designs which absorb product momentum.

We have the option of calling upon our entry level, mid-range or premium performance models which enables complete coverage for thousands of applications.
