WEIGHING STATION [3 records]

Record 1 1993-05-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Packaging Techniques
CONT

With gross weight filling the product goes directly into the package, which is resting on the scale. The scale is adjusted to allow for the average tare weight of the container.

OBS

On gross-weight fillers, each fill station is fitted with a weighing device, typically a beam scale, which acts to shut off product flow when a predetermined weight has been reached. Each scale is set for the maximum weight of container and contents.

Dosage pondéral .... Dosage par "poids brut" : Dans ce cas, on pèse simultanément le produit et son contenant. Ce système est principalement utilisé pour les poudres non fluides et pour lesquelles la non-homogénéité de densité peut avoir une incidence.

Subject field(s)
  • Packaging Machinery and Equipment
CONT

On gross-weight fillers, each fill station is fitted with a weighing device, typically a beam scale, which acts to shut off product flow when a predetermined weight has been reached. Each scale is set for the maximum weight of container and contents. Adjustment for other containers and content weight may be made by adding special weights to each filling platform. By using a load cell as the weighing device, the weight is electronically measured continuously, and liquid flow is stopped at a predetermined weight.

OBS

Applies to dry and liquid product filling machinery.

Subject field(s)
  • Packaging Machinery and Equipment
  • Food Industries
CONT

The two main types of liquid fillers are volumetric and constant-level. For viscous liquids, pastes, and certain food products, the volumetric principle is the only practical method. In volumetric fillers there is a choice among the piston type, gear pump, worm screw pump, and weighing station.

OBS

Volumetric filling: With this technique the product fill amount is controlled to a volume rather than to a weight .... Volumetric systems are designed to measure and dispense a specific volume of product.

Remplisseuse de liquides et de certains produits alimentaires réalisant l'emplissage au volume plutôt qu'au poids. Les systèmes d'emplissage les plus courants sont le système à godets, le système à piston fixe et le système à piston mobile.
