Ishida to present its packing line solutions at ProPak Africa

ISHIDA will be at ProPak Africa to showcase its weighing, packing and quality control equipment.

The IX-GA-4075 high performance X-ray inspection system detects even tiny amounts of foreign bodies down to 0.3mm in size, including bone, stones, glass and metals such as iron and stainless steel as well as dense plastics.  It features the company’s Genetic Algorithm (GA) technology which enables operators to ‘train’ the X-ray system for greater sensitivity to specific contaminants.  In addition, the place of contamination can be accurately pinpointed.  As part of its enhanced quality control function, the IX-GA-4075 can also spot missing, undersized and misshaped items or damaged products, and carry out weight estimation and grading by length.

The compact Ishida QX-300 Flex semi-automatic tray sealer is suited for small production runs, special tray sizes as well as for growing businesses that want to introduce top-sealed trays into their portfolio. The machine has simple controls for fast set up, and quick release features for fast changeovers of films and sealing tools.

High sealing pressure combined with precise control of sealing time and temperature ensure the highest seal integrity for optimum shelf life and pack presentation.  The tray sealer is available for seal only, MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging),  skinpack and shrink film applications. 

The Ishida Cut-Gate weigher for granular products incorporates a servomotor-powered gate that delivers a gentle but precise opening and closing profile to offer accuracy levels of typically +-4g for 1kg target weights while the gentle handling operation mode   preserves particle size and structure. A dust enclosure minimizes dust emissions.

CCW-SE-210

The 14 head Ishida CCW-SE-214 multihead weigher offers fast and accurate weighing of all types of dry applications such as snacks, confectionery, biscuits and pasta with a top speed of up to 90 packs per minute.  Combining improved productivity and efficiency with minimal downtime for cleaning and maintenance, the weigher offers a rapid return on investment.

Ishida’s innovative iTPS™ software supports the integrated operation of an Ishida multihead weigher, bagmaker and checkweigher to provide a complete snacks packing solution.  At Propak Africa, the system will be demonstrated with a CCW-RV-214 multihead weigher and Atlas-124 bagmaker, offering speeds of up to 200 packs per minute for extruded snack and up to 150 packs per minute for potato chips and corn snacks.

Propak Africa takes place from 15-18 March 2016 at the Expo Centre, Nasrec, Johannesburg, South Africa.
