Ishida to showcase innovation and versatility at Interpack

The huge choice of weighing, packing and quality control solutions to handle the widest variety of product types and pack formats – including many challenging and difficult-to-handle items – will be demonstrated on the Ishida Europe stand at this year’s Interpack.

Ishida will also unveil the latest additions and upgrades to its advanced tray sealer, x-ray inspection, checkweigher and multihead weigher ranges.

A key message throughout the stand will be how Ishida’s integrated packing line solutions can help improve efficiencies while minimising waste, reducing overall machine footprint and delivering valuable energy savings.

Ishida will demonstrate how its equipment is able to cope with alternative packaging materials and also the important role that fully inspected packs can play in the reduction of food and packaging waste.

The weighing area will showcase Ishida’s capabilities in handling a variety of applications. Models on show include solutions for the fast and accurate weighing of fresh protein, salads, sticky, breakable items and granular products such as sugar and powders, as well as a machine for weighing small target weights at ultra-high speeds.

Another innovation is the company’s ‘sugar extraction’ multihead weigher that has been designed to prevent sugar compromising pack seals at extremely fast speeds.

Within the Quality Control / Inspection area, Ishida will show a completely new range of X-ray machine options for detecting low to high density foreign bodies in both packaged and unpackaged bulk flow formats. The hygienically designed machines and options will display a number of new features including easy to clean surfaces and easy to remove reject bins.

Ishida will also display a new range of checkweighers based on a new advanced electronic architecture that offers improved speeds and accuracies and enhanced touch screen interfaces across the board.

In addition, the Ishida stand will highlight the company’s wide-ranging capabilities and expertise in full line solutions for protein and snacks.

Automation will figure with the emergence of the smart factory. Ishida will also demonstrate its software – Sentinel – that provides remote monitoring and analysis to ensure packing lines operate efficiently.
