Keeping up with tolerances, even at low capacities
Danlind, acq. McBride, leading producers of washing powder, faced a challenge where their existing equipment was not able to keep up to their high-quality standards. Due to fluctuating product capacities, adjustments were often need in the equipment resulting in down time. Jesma supplied JesBelt-A weighers with a guaranteed accuracy of +/-0,5%, however test shows that a 0,2% accuracy is reachable. The JesBelts’ are part of a fully automatic set-up. For example, depending on layer thickness, high or low, the inlets are equipped with actuators that opens and closes the slides depending on which capacity the weigher should run with.

Self-cleaning process weighersThe focus was not only on significantly improving the accuracies, but also the advantage of having reliable and sturdy production equipment. The JesBelt-As’ have minimal need for maintenance, all the weighers have automatic cleaning bottoms. In other words, it enables the operator to start a cleaning of the JesBelts in regular intervals. Which ensures, that they are kept clean and thereby avoiding accumulation of dust causing the weighers to stop.
