Weight Miser 4

The Weight Miser 4 is a computer-controlled catalyst weigher that uses the latest in mathematical calculations for high-speed accurate weights. The product is metered into each of the upper weigh hoppers, and a snapshot of the weight is made of each bucket. The product is transferred to the lower pool hopper, and the value of the weight is stored in the computer. The computer calculates the "on weight" to the "closest weight" and combines typically three to four weights from the pool hoppers to drop into the packaging system.


This technique allows for high-speed weighing and typical fill accuracies of on weight to less than a one-gram product giveaway. Products with irregular piece weights work particularly well on this style of weighing, as larger piece weights are combined with smaller piece weights to get as close to the target weight with minimum giveaway. Statistical data of production rate, average weights, standard deviation, and total weight through weigher are all displayed on the 9.7” color touch screen that is easy for operators to learn how to run the system with minimum training.


Several levels of password protection are incorporated to prevent operators from changing the setups but allow supervisors and maintenance personnel to access higher-level menus via password entry to set up new products, access maintenance screens, and more. Weights are detected with very accurate strain gauge load cells. Each weigh hopper, feed tray, and feed transitions can all be lifted off with no tools for easy cleaning and maintenance. The weigh hopper and pool hoppers are opened using long-life reliable stepper motors for smooth, quiet operation. They can also be programmed on products that tend to stick to buckets to vibrate the buckets and cause products to drop.


All product contact areas and machine frames are manufactured from 304 stainless steel for sanitary operation. The weigher electronics are housed in the main machine frame, and one can use low-pressure 20 psi water for easy cleaning. Available timing hopper options include mixing versions to mix two or four different products into one drop. Customer in-feeds are controlled with the standard load cell dispersion feeder, eliminating troublesome photo eyes that can become obstructed with dust or dirt.
