AUTOMATIC WEIGHING MACHINE AFW-40

Weighing machines available with wet infeed reception hopper. Computer controlled weighing system with multiple options.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The automatic weighing machine AFW-40 is a fully mobile unit, with a large infeed reception hopper and a modular flighted outfeed elevator belt. The machine is executed with a control panel and a computer-controlled weighing system with touch-screen for visual operation and control. The electrical panel incorporates the illuminated weight parameters which are variable and the operational functions are indicated on the coloured touch screen. In a special execution the automatic weighing machine AFW-40DB can be supplied with a wet surge hopper. This machine is executed with a slide chain conveyor system. > automatic tareing after a number of weights > tolerances in percentage terms of the filling weight with single weighing > tolerances in percentage terms of the last batch weighing > drop-speed correction The product being weighed is elevated by the modular feeding belt to the weighing hopper. When the pre-programmed weight is entered, the elevator belt delivers the product at a pre-set speed filling the weighing hopper to a pre-determined weight which is set by the operator. When the pre-set weight is within (± 5% adjustable) the belt speed automatically slows down to a top up speed delivering a very accurate weight into the holding hopper, dramatically reducing give away. When the required set weight is reached the contents of the weighing hopper can be discharged by the activation of an adjacent toggle switch. The maximum content of the weighing hopper is 25 litres (6,6 galons) (approx. 15 kg (33 lbs) of potatoes). The weighing machine is equipped with a removable filling chute and a support platform which can be adjusted in height.
