The LCW Series checkweigher line has been built to operate in demanding, multi-shift production environments typically found in North and South American food and contract-packaging facilities The heavier-duty construction provides greater reliability and run time in more arduous, 24/7 plant conditions, where line speeds of 300 to 400 packs/min are typical. Another key feature of the LCW checkweigher series is that the PC-based user interface is capable of monitoring up to six separate production lines simultaneously. This is done by providing multiple-lane transport systems and employing up to six separate loadcells to weigh the different products simultaneously. The new line relies on industry-standard components, as well as Allen-Bradley PLCs. The LCW Series has been designed to meet UL approval, ensuring that the checkweighers meet high electrical standards.
