OIML approval on bagging machine with Z6
load cell
Tascol Shore Engineering is now offering the legal-for-trade OIMLR61 certification, accepted across Europe, on their bagging and weighing machines, by incorporating the HBM Z6 load cell
The British company Tascol Shore Engineering offers a wide range of bagging and weighing systems with belt and continuous weighing technology, as well as dosing technology and micro-dosing By integrating the HBM Z6 load cell in their automatic gravimetric weighing systems, Tascol Shore has been able to obtain legal-for-trade certification to OIMLR61

With the high accuracy of the load cell, this system meets the requirements of all the European standards for legal-for-trade bagging scales and can therefore be sold across Europe.
In the systems that Tascol Shore offers for automatic gravimetric determination of net weight, the product to be weighed is filled into a container placed on three Z6 load cells.
Once the set weight is reached, the discharge valve on the container is opened via a controller and the bag is filled.
Because of the Z6 load cell accuracy, the permissible weight measured in the container can be increased to 12.5kg in the model that previously operated over the 1 kg to 10kg range.
This means an end-user customer can increase productivity by 50% when filling larger bags with weights of 25 kg, as they would now only need two batches from the weighing container.
Previously this operation would have required three deliveries from the hopper taking 50% longer.
The bagging system is also able to achieve between 6 and 8 working steps per minute, improving productivity.
The bagging and weighing system from Tascol Shore permits various configurations, i.e any gravimetric-based filling systems, screw dosing units or dosing belts can be used.
Even systems with multiple inputs can be connected, when using intermediate control elements that ensure that only one supply at a time is used for various contents.
The Tascol Shore weighing systems are suitable for a variety of materials that can be filled into bags, including fertilisers, additives, foodstuffs and animal feed.
The systems are available in stainless steel and are equipped with automatic or manual positioning systems for the bags. Request a free brochure from HBM UK ...
