A Multihead Weigher for the Toughest Environments

Increased speed and accuracy delivery higher yields (reduced giveaway)

• More efficient hopper control
  
  In the design of the RV, extensive applications experience has been used to produce optimum, controllable “door” acceleration and deceleration profiles, resulting in the most effective hopper opening times, with reduced product sticking.


• More responsive electronics
  
  The high performance, advanced touch panel user interface responds three times faster than the RV’s predecessor, the industry-leading Ishida R series weigher. This is complemented by a proven, “application specific” hardware based “high speed combination calculation algorithm” that delivers combinations five times faster than alternative approaches.


• Faster Filltering
  
  Filtering of the weigh signal from the load cell speeds up stabilisation. Because of the reduced settling time, more heads are available for inclusion in the combination calculation. This increases the range of weight options, improving accuracy.


• More effective feeder vibration
  
  Precise feeder drive control optimises product distribution, enabling rapid weigh-head stabilisation resulting in a faster more accurate weigher operation. This provides better and more consistent control of pool hopper filling, helping ensure the amounts available to the weigh hoppers are within a suitably low “tolerance” range.

More effective feeder vibration

Robust design stands up to harsh environments, maximising uptime

Tougher in the wet

• Tougher in the wet
  
  With this generation, Ishida multihead weighers become more water-resistant than ever before. The IP69K, IP66 and IP67 rating enables hose-down of all parts, including the drive units.
  
  The designed fluorine diaphragms and the use of EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber gaskets combine with new machine component fixing patterns to achieve this.
  
  This is the ONLY weigher in the market with all three levels of washdown/sanitation capabilities. Each having unique characteristics, and differentiates from other suppliers.


• Quicker to wash, quicker to dry
  
  The RV is designed with a rapid cleaning regime in mind. Both the main body and feeder covers are self-draining with surface slopes of 9° and 6° respectively. Whatever your cleaning routine, these improvements will result in additional machine uptime and faster turnaround.

Simpler, smarter control and interaction via an interface perfect for hand-held devices.

• Faster, automatic set up for new products (Auto Setting Feature)
  
  The RV machine automatically optimises weigh signal filtration, feeder vibration level and timing based on only five pieces of basic information entered by the operator.
  These are:
   
  • Product type
  • Bulk density
  • Target weight
  • Upper and lower limits
  • Desired speed
• Remote control offers great flexibility
  
  The ability to control the weigher from practically any desktop, portable or hand-held device (including laptops, net books and tablets) allows greater freedom for operator or engineer, who are no longer limited to a fixed location.


• Improved information flow and remove control
  
  Secure, firewalled systems can be set up to make packing line information available anywhere in the world, enabling remote control, problem solving, efficiency checks and maintenance.
  
  Additionally, remote support from packaging experts for more complex diagnostics can reduce specialist-training requirement for operators, allowing them to focus more on in-house productivity and efficiency measures.

Reduction in power consumption of up to 20% compared to conventional models
