Weighing systems
The weighing of fruits and vegetables is one of the most important links in the entire processing chain. Accurate weighing can result in immediate, significant cost reduction. ARCO engineers have developed various intelligent weighing solutions for a wide range of fruits and vegetables. Some examples of weighing solutions are the ARCO inline weighing machine, the Triple Deck System, and the multi-head weighing machine.
Inline weighing machine
Using the ARCO inline weighing machine, fruits and vegetables can be weighed quickly and efficiently after harvesting. A single operator can weigh up to 100 units per minute. The ARCO weighing machine performs perfectly in the mushroom and soft fruit industry. The machine is suitable for processing any desired recipe, from 50 to 1000 grams. Any desired weight can be set for each individual recipe. The most common weights are 250 and 500 grams. Based on these recipes the Control Weighing Machine processes up to 60 packages per minute, with just one operator! The weighing machine is divided into two or three lanes, each with five independent weighing belts. Underweight, correct weight, and overweight baskets are placed on the weighing belts in random order. Baskets with correct weight are automatically transported to the next station in the packing line. Underweight and overweight baskets are manually corrected by an operator.
