Netherlands: Manter carrot weigher modernised
The Manter Ca (carrot) weigher is available with ten or twelve weighing buckets. The 10-bucket weigher is suitable for weights ranging from 0.5 to 25 kilograms and can weigh 15 tons of product an hour. Both models are available with different discharge systems and can be combined with all types and brands of packaging machines. The Manter Ca was presented for the first time at the Fruit Logistica in Berlin, the meeting place for the global Fruit and Vegetables industry. The first new Manter Ca-weighers have meanwhile been sold and are now being used by several carrot companies in the Netherlands and abroad.
The new Manter Ca- weigher is made entirely of stainless steel and can weigh products with a length of up to 350 millimeters. In view of the product’s length, the weigher has been equipped with long shaker conveyors and deep weighing buckets. Panels that move up and down have been placed between the shaker conveyors to ensure that the product moves towards the weighing bucket, without stopping the carrots.
New about this machine is that the weighers now have robust frame constructions of their own. This means that the shaker conveyors are now also secured in a separate frame. Both frames are separated by rubber cushions. This new construction reduces the effect of vibrations on the weighing process, as a result of which the weigher operates faster and more accurately. The stainless steel weigher has a new design and comes with new hardware and software. A new touchscreen-based operating
panel makes the machine easy to programme and operate. One of the advantages of this is that one person can now align the entire machine.
