Gentle handling was an important requirement in this application, and the Mini Weigher’s low product drop height ensured the gentle processing of the small, fragile fruits such as berries, even at high speeds of 70 portions per minute (as standalone). The machine’s high accuracy weighing ensures a minimum of 0.4% giveaway and has completely transformed production for the customer, which had originally been putting the trays together by hand. With the machine’s flexibility to operate standalone or connected to other Mini Weighers along with the ability to process a wide range of food products, industry specialists around the world began to realise the opportunities that the Mini Weigher 2008PCM could offer. Not long after its initial success story, the weighing machine was in high demand as far away as South Korea, where it was sold through Newtec’s South Korean dealer K2-System Eng. “The demand for our weighing machine proved to be extremely high because of the demand for this group of convenience products and within a short period of time, we have sold a lot of the Mini weighers”, Zierau says. “And many of the compact weighing machines are going to Korea where they are used for all types of foods you can think of.” Founded in Denmark in 1976, the Newtec brand is connected to a number of important values, including quality, reliability, trust, innovation, accuracy and the development of machines built to last. The company focuses on its customer’s needs, meaning that whatever product, capacity or portion size required, Newtec’s industry experts will provide a durable, reliable and upgradeable solution to efficiently weigh, sort and pack your product.
