Experience global know-how locally : New products from Minebea Intec at PPMA this September

After most of last year ’ s trade fairs were cancelled due to COVID , Minebea Intec has broadly positioned itself for this year ’ s upcoming events : The leading provider of weighing and inspection solutions presents new products and powerful software tools that increase the efficiency and output of production plants . The first UK trade fair to take place for the industry since the pandemic will be PPMA this September .
NEW LABELLING SOLUTIONS PORTFOLIO : FOUR FUNCTIONS IN ONE DEVICE
PPMA is taking place 28-30 September in the heart of the Midlands at the NEC , where a range of exhibitors will present products related to packaging and processing . In the exhibition halls in Birmingham , the two new price labelling solutions WPL-S and WPL-A from Minebea Intec will be on show for the first time .
With the manual price labelling system WPL-S and the automatic variant WPL-A , Minebea Intec is opening up a new portfolio for applications in the weighing and labelling of products . Both labelling solutions offer the ideal complete package for customers in the food industry : weighing , price labelling , labelling and product traceability in just one device . However , it is not only new products that will be presented at the show - some of the manufacturer ’ s products have received a major upgrade .
ACCURATE HIGH-SPEED WEIGHING
In production , maximum output with high quality is one of the top priorities : highspeed weighing is therefore currently an exciting topic in the industry . Minebea Intec has given its checkweighers with EMFC technology a turbo upgrade and
10 FDPP - www . fdpp . co . uk equipped them with a new load cell . The inspection solutions have received MID approval for belt speeds of up to 3 metres per second . This means that up to 600 products per minute can be accurately and reliably weighed . With the new load cells , the minimum weight has also been lowered : products of just 5 grams can be weighed accurately and reliably .
SPC @ ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE : FOR ADDED EFFICIENCY
In addition to the optimal weighing solution , Minebea Intec also offers the right software to optimise efficiency and production capacities : Among other things , SPC @ Enterprise , a software package for statistical process control and average weight control , will be presented at the trade fair .
SPC @ Enterprise is currently available in version 4.0 and includes all the necessary options for prepacked goods and statistical process control , such as the collection of random samples as well as automatic checks throughout the entire process . By networking a wide range of devices and systems , the user has the option of statistically
evaluating the collected data from the checkweighing of finished products as well as other measured values from the overall process , reacting with suitable measures and thus increasing the efficiency of his production .
DIGITAL OFFER : FREE OF CHARGE AND AVAILABLE AROUND THE CLOCK
In addition to physical trade fairs , the new Minebea Intec digital contact options remain . Interested parties will find a wide selection of free offers on the website . Minebea Intec offers two options for consultation and research on weighing and inspection solutions : interested parties can either book an appointment in the Virtual Showroom , where experts provide advise and answer questions . Alternatively , there are several online calculators to choose from which can be used to calculate the return on investment , for example .
