Mettler-Toledo enhances its C31 StandardLine Checkweigher
The C31 intelligent checkweigher has been updated to adapt to the changing demands of the contemporary production environment.
USA – Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection has announced a major update to its state-of-the-art C31 StandardLine Checkweigher, introducing a range of Smart Production Packages that offer small and mid-sized manufacturers increased flexibility, quicker implementation, and improved food safety compliance at an affordable price.
Key updates include; a new two-belt conveyor system is now standard, order processing has been optimized for quicker delivery, and the system is modularly designed to quickly scale as the user’s businesses expand.
With the improvements, the C31 intelligent checkweigher can enable smarter, more connected production while providing the precision and reliability that Mettler-Toledo technology is known for.
With 100% inline weight control, the C31 intelligent checkweigher’s Intelligent Weighing Automation technology does away with the need for manual spot checks.
In both dry and wet conditions, the user-friendly system provides dependable performance for both food and non-food applications.
It is particularly well-suited for small to mid-sized food producers searching for affordable, scalable solutions because of its modest size and modular architecture, which allows for smooth integration into current lines.
The revised C31 intelligent checkweigher has a standard lead time of three weeks or more (not including packing and shipping), which enables producers to react faster to shifting production demands and market conditions.
Five Smart Production Packages are being introduced by Mettler-Toledo to serve a variety of operational needs:
The Reporting Package features general statistics for batch, production, and hourly outputs. It also incorporates an individual weight data interface and compatibility for PrintStick, enhances data visibility for better analysis and compliance, automates reporting, and offers rapid access to production data.
The Sorting Package helps avoid underfilled products from reaching consumers. Manufacturers have a choice between Pusher Sorting and Air Blast. Air pressure monitoring and countercheck control are also included in this package.
Clear error messages, dependable air pressure monitoring, and automatic conveyor stops for efficient operations are all supported by this package, as is the consistent rejection of non-conforming items.
The Connectivity Package includes an OPC UA/Fieldbus Interface, an interface for individual weight data, and a VNC Server for remote control.
By connecting to SCADA and ERP systems, this package can improve data analysis to raise the quality of the final product while giving access to production planning and data management.
The Integration Package facilitates the rapid identification and correction of consecutive rejects on a production line. It has output signals for process defects, external start/stop capabilities, and successive error detection.
This minimizes downtime by streamlining production line processes and incorporating consecutive fault detection, which sets off alarms for prompt interventions.
The Cost Control Package boosts profitability by cutting less on giveaways. It includes backup monitoring, error detection, and feedback control.
These features promote sustainability and waste reduction activities, eliminate product giveaway and waste, and minimize over-filling through fill level optimization.
