Two new 'unique' semi automatic multi-head weighing systems are designed to replace manual weighing for the very difficult, light, sticky and wet ingredients and raw materials in Supermarket packs

Aja have launched two new 'unique' semi automatic multi-head weighing systems that will introduce automatic weighing to replace expensive manual portion and assembly weighing of difficult, light, sticky and wet ingredients and raw materials.

Based on established multi-head combination weighing technology the Aja Fasco AWS and BWS Multi-weighs incorporate unique handling and transfer systems to eliminate sticking, bridging and 'hanging up' of product.

The AWS and BWS Multi-weighs now offer multi-head weighing automation where previously it was not possible with traditional gravity driven rotary and linear multi-head scales.

Compact design, portability and ease of cleaning offer further benefits for companies striving to reduce labour, guarantee accuracy and reduce waste.

Based on a series of small self cleaning conveyor belts, raw material and ingredients are conveyed to the weigh hoppers in the BWS Multi-weigh, and are weighed in combination then transferred to the finished pack via a further belt conveying system.

This guarantees that every part of the portion makes it into the finished pack, bag, pot or tray.

There is nowhere for raw material to hang up or stick during the weighing process.

BWS Multiweigh is particularly suitable for very light, delicate and stringy difficult ingredients and product.

The AWS Fasco Multiweigh has a unique 'Archimedes screw feeder' system to control the raw material feed to the weigh hoppers which incorporate a 'shutter, scrap and clean' system designed to eliminate material loss through sticking and hanging of small pieces and finings.

A truly remarkable weigher for the most difficult to handle, very sticky and wet ingredients and raw material.

Ideal for ready meal components, salad pot portion weighing and very sticky chop and diced meat, fish and poultry.
