September 2020 / 37 Weighing and dosing system provides ±1 percent or better weighing accuracy Weighing and dosing system provides ±1 percent or better batch weighing accuracy. System is suitable for various weighing processes, using a three- step method to eliminate errors that can occur due to material buildup on filters and other system parts. System is designed for use in conjunction with the supplier's vacuum conveyors, which provide a loss-in-weight weighment, a gain-in-weight weighment, and a controlled-release dosing weight discharge step using a floor scale or other device. System can have a single-, three-, or four-load cell configuration. Volkmann, Bristol, PA 609-265-0101 www.volkmannusa.com Weighing and batching system can be adapted for dosing, continuous weighing Weighing and batching system for food and dairy powders has scale hoppers at each bulk bag unloading station to discharge ingredients based on recipe requirements into one of two conveying lines delivering material to four receiving stations. System can be adapted for dosing or continuous weighing. System's vacuum receivers filter the conveying air and discharge the collected batch of ingredients to their respective mix station below. System's high-capacity vacuum pumps provide high-volume conveying, eliminating the need for conveyor line cleaning. Powder Process-Solutions, Chanhassen, MN 877-933-2556 www.powder-solutions.com Sanitary weighbelt feeder's open design allows for full washdown Redesigned sanitary weighbelt feeder features an open design to fit most sanitary environments and to allow for full washdown. Feeder uses a Van der Graaf motorized head pulley to simplify belt tracking and tensioning. Feeder's manual belt lifter raises the belt from the slider deck for inspec- tion and cleaning, and the cantilevered frame and fold-flat skirt boards make belt removal quick and easy. Feeder can be controlled with any of the company's processors and equipped with PLC communication cards for simplified integration. Tecweigh, St. Paul, MN 800-536-4880 www.tecweigh.com Batch weighing system is stable, rugged, counterbalanced Model 403B(D) series weighing system is suitable for dry solids batch weighing on a gain-in-weight basis. "Overhead"-type weighing system uses technologically advanced lever mechanisms (scales) equipped with the supplier's stainless steel flexures for all pivotal connections. System provides frictionless operation and is stable, rugged, and counterbalanced so only the material's weight in the weigh hopper or tank is weighed. System weighs one ingredient at a time so material is sequentially batched and is typically fed via a volumetric feeder. Acrison, Moonachie, NJ 201-440-8300 www.acrison.com
