Pre-pack weighing solution for delicate produce

As more and more pre-packed fruit and vegetables appear on the supermarket shelves with a fixed weight and fixed price, methods are needed to weigh and pack with the minimum of Give-Away and loss

As more and more pre-packed fruit and vegetables appear on the supermarket shelves with a fixed weight and fixed price, packers and producers are having to find ways of weighing and packing with the minimum of Give-Away and weight loss.

Historically this has been 5 - 10% plus! Give-Away has been the norm and for many packers this has been tolerable.

Nowadays however with ever increasing overheads and constant pressure on margins; huge savings which go straight to the bottom line can be made by weighing fixed weight, pre-packs more accurately with the absolute minimum possible Give-Away.

There are a number of solutions on the market if you have a robust product which needs to be packed in high volume, day in, day out.

However if you have a specialist or seasonal line, a product which is delicate or awkward to handle, then the Aja TDW Selector manual multi-weigh scale could be the solution.

This system is already used by many produce packers, for grapes [1 black bunch, 1 white bunch - fixed price], half vine tomatoes [2 half vines to a fixed weight], leeks [fixed number, fixed weight], sweet potatos and kumars, courgettes etc.

Give-Away of as low as 1% or less can be easily achieved.

The TDW Selector scale is compact, portable and extremely user friendly.

In fact the operator doesn't have to even think, just simply follow the lights telling them which pieces to pick up to make the best combination.

Speeds of 12 plus packs per minute are easily achievable with 2 operators.

It is such a simple machine, it has to seen to be believed.

Aja can supply the TDW Selector scale in wide range of configuration to suit virtually any application including bulk, for example even a catch weight retail pack in a fixed weight outer.
