New hygiene standard with the Garvens S3-Shark checkweigher

October 2006 Pressure Measurement & Control

Maintaining a high level of hygiene in production areas is of particular importance in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. The new Garvens S-3 Shark high speed checkweigher is an innovative approach to meet HACCP guidelines.

The tubular design of the S-3 Shark checkweigher, adjustable stainless steel framework, and sloping surfaces ensure that product and water build-up or contamination is reduced. The patented, minimal contact conveyor support clamps, easily removable transport belts and open frame construction facilitate easy cleaning.

The S-3 Shark is a high speed checkweigher (up to 600 pcs/min), suitable for weighing products up to 6000 g. The technical parameters of dynamic weighing can be easily adapted to specific user requirements. The modular concept of the checkweigher allows for the incorporation of additional equipment, and the S-3 Shark is suitable for integration in almost any production line.

The weighing terminal provides excellent visibility and an easy-to-use touch screen for operator guidance and clear indication of weighing and production data, as well as configuration screens.

The reduced number of support legs, hygienically designed cable runs and additional cable duct for customer's production line wiring, ensure that this system meets the hygiene standards required in food and pharmaceutical applications.
