KMG Drop Weigher
Managing waste is useful aspect of the process of snack production, and its accurate measurement is essential. KMG introduces the Drop Weigher, a solution that provides real-time and precise weight measurements for waste on food production lines. Let’s explore this innovative system in detail.
Features
- Real time accurate waste measurement
- No moving parts. Inherently safe by design.
- Compliments shop floor data management systems
- Multiple waste streams to single waste collection point
- Reduced manual handling of storage bins
How does a Drop Weigher Work?
It works by weighing end of line waste in real time, typically incorporated into a distribution system. We know that you don’t want your operators to spend a lot of time manually weighing waste and logging the results. This system will automatically reliably weigh the waste as it leaves the production line and incorporate the results into your shop floor data management system.
The design eliminates moving parts making it super hygienic, easy to maintain and with a low cost of ownership. As you would expect from KMG, we have considered the real life aspects of running and operating this piece of equipment.
- Real-Time Accurate Waste Measurement: The Drop Weigher excels at providing real-time and precise measurements of waste generated during food production. This feature is invaluable for assessing waste levels and making data-driven decisions for process optimisation.
- Safety by Design: One of the standout features of the Drop Weigher is its inherently safe design. With no moving parts, it eliminates potential hazards and reduces the need for maintenance, enhancing safety in the production environment.
- Complements Shop Floor Data Management Systems: The Drop Weigher seamlessly integrates with shop floor data management systems. It enhances the data collection process and provides valuable insights into waste generation.
- Multiple Waste Streams to Single Collection Point: This system allows multiple waste streams to combine into a single collection point, simplifying waste management and reducing the number of collection bins required.
- Reduced Manual Handling: With its efficient waste measurement capabilities, the Drop Weigher minimises the need for manual handling of storage bins, contributing to a more ergonomic and streamlined waste management process.
FAQs about KMG Drop Weigher
What is the primary purpose of the KMG Drop Weigher?
The Drop Weigher is designed to provide real-time, precise measurement of waste material discarded at the end of snack production lines. It ensures manufacturers can accurately monitor scrap levels, helping to minimise ingredient loss and optimise cost control during operations.
How does the Drop Weigher integrate with waste management systems?
This system is typically installed within the line’s distribution or discharge system. As product waste falls into the chute, the system instantly weighs it and sends the data directly to shop-floor management systems—automating waste tracking without manual input.
What design features make it hygienic and low-maintenance?
With no moving parts, the Drop Weigher is inherently safe, easy to clean, and highly reliable. Its minimal design prevents product build-up and significantly reduces the need for servicing interventions, making it ideal for modern, hygienic food production environments.
What are the safety and ergonomic benefits of this system?
Designed for operator welfare, the Drop Weigher eliminates manual weighing and bin handling, reducing repetitive strain and potential accidents. Additionally, its maintenance-free design improves workplace safety and reliability across shifts.
