Industrial Checkweigher Partnered with Robotic Palletiser in QLD
An Industrial Checkweigher was recently installed for grading 20kg bags of lime at Unimin’s Tamaree plant in Queensland. Supplied by Accuweigh / Budpak’s QWM branch in Brisbane, the Industrial Checkweigher was configured for static weighing operation and certified for trade use.
Static weighing eliminates the need for random samples to be removed from the conveyor line and weighed on a separate set of trade approved scales to ensure conformance to Weights & Measures regulations. Each bag is conveyed to the end of line Checkweigher where elevating bars lift the bag off the rollers for weighing.
The acquired static weight reading is then transmitted to the robotic palletiser which determines the bags handling based on the weight readings – correct weight bags are palletised for despatch and out of tolerance bags are stacked onto a rejects pallet for later reworking.
Accuweigh’s AccuCheck Industrial Checkweigher was manufactured in Australia using locally available weighing components to ensure parts and serviceability availability well into the future.
Accuweigh/Budpak is Australia’s largest weigh/packaging group and has eight branches providing proficient sales and service support across all mainland states for all forms of weighing and packaging equipment.
