Features

Operator control is via an advanced "state-of-the-art touchscreen panel offering efficient and intuitive set-up and control. A high-resolution 10.4″ colour touch screen sealed to IP66 controls all machine functions.

All transfer and filling parameters are saved to unique alpha-numeric product codes, providing users with ultra-rapid change over time. One thousand twenty-four product codes are available, ensuring that even the vast range of products and containers that, in some cases, an installation will be required to handle can be readily catered for.

The control system provides a host of statistical information, including average weight, standard deviation, CPk, CPk+ & CPk- (6 sigma)
All Servo & inverter drives connect to the central control panel via a CAN bus link that monitors each drive's status and error conditions in the unlikely eventuality of a problem occurring.

An Ethernet port is included to allow connection to the factory network. It allows for remote backup/restore of recipe and machine parameters and the option to remotely view the control screen in real-time to the packing line; this can be useful for monitoring production and line efficiency.

Optional “FillerNet” PC software is available to log all individual discharges, complete statistics for each production run, and create live graphs illustrating current statistics.

A “FillerNet” client can subsequently reload this data at any time to review/print raw data, run statistics, and various graphs. Files are saved in “CSV” format and can be opened by third-party applications such as Microsoft Excel for viewing/modelling.
