ISHIDA parades its automation solutions at Gulfood Manufacturing
At this year’s Gulfood Manufactur- ing, packing line equipment spe- cialist Ishida Europe will showcase (Hall 3, Ishida Europe Stand A3-36) a selection of machines from its exten- sive portfolio that ideally demonstrate the benefits of automation in helping food manufacturers to reduce costs and downtime, increase throughput and efficiencies and in these ways maximize profits.
On display will be the world-leading Inspira VFFS bagmaker, two dynamic X-ray inspection systems from Ishida’s IX range and the CHW 214 multihead weigher which enables growing busi- nesses to cost-effectively access high- quality weighing.
The models on show also indicate the huge range of weighing, packing and inspection equipment that Ishida offers as part of its ability to design and install complete wall-to-wall packing line solutions.
The Inspira iTPS combines Ishida’s market-leading 14-head RV multihead weigher, offering close-to-zero give- away and greater than 99% efficien- cy, with the world’s fastest VFFS bag maker to deliver a top speed of 200 bags per minute for extruded snacks and 150 for potato chips. Advanced software and servo-controlled vari- able seal time, jaw temperature and jaw pressure enable the bag maker to handle a variety of films, including standard, metallised, recyclable and biodegradable, as well as gusseted and block bottom bags with minimal change parts.
The Inspira comes equipped with Ishida’s proven iTPSTM software which facilitates full integration with other Ishida weighing and inspection sys- tems. It is being shown with integrated Ishida TSC seal tester and force balance check weigher to offer a high-speed solution for leak detection, fill level monitoring and pack weight control. In addition, the TSC seal tester is speci- fied with AAF (Auto Air-Fill) feedback

software that automatically monitors and adjusts the pack inflation level on the bag maker.
The two advanced Ishida X-ray in- spection systems offer food manufac- turers powerful quality control and food safety solutions. The IX-G2-F Dual Energy can reliably detect low-density wish, rib and fan bones in unpacked chicken fillets at up to 400 per minute. The machine can also carry out detec- tion in uneven and overlapping prod- ucts, reducing product waste by mini- mizing false detection.
The Ishida IX-GN-4044-S provides best-in-class foreign body detection
and quality control for a wide range of packed products, ensuring unrivalled food safety and brand protection. The machine can identify a large variety of contaminants such as aluminium, tin, glass, stone, hard rubber, dense plas- tic, Teflon, PVC, bones and shells at high inspection speeds, while Ishida’s Genetic Algorithm (GA) technology en- ables operators to optimize the X-ray system for greater sensitivity to spe- cific foreign bodies.
The machine can also carry out a number of other quality control func- tions such as counting components, weight estimation, and spotting miss- ing or broken items, product voids and deformations. Both X-ray systems come with Ishida’s new service pack- age, that delivers a guaranteed Total Cost of Ownership of less than 3% per annum over a five-year period.
Ishida’s weighing solutions will be represented on the stand by the CHW- 214 multihead weigher. This entry lev- el option is ideal for growing food busi- nesses who are looking to expand their capacity and harness automation, offering excellent value and a fast re- turn on investment, typically achieving payback within one year. The weigher can handle dry, free flowing products such as snacks, cereals, biscuits, con- fectionery and pasta, at speeds of up to 90 packs per minute.
