Ishida has developed two new multihead weighers specifically for cannabis flowers. The high-performance machines achieve high speeds and product loss is almost zero.
Medical cannabis is regarded as green gold and has developed into a billion-euro business in a short space of time. The booming market demands Fully automated processes for filling and packaging. The two new multihead weighers for cannabis flowers from Ishida comply with GMP regulations („Good Manufacturing Practice“ for pharmaceuticals).
The CCW-RV-214-Micro multihead weigher is suitable for ultra-small target weights from 0.5 g to 20 g. The second new model CCW-RV-214-05 is predestined for a weighing range from 3 g to 50 g. The scales manage Speeds of up to 100 cycles per minute. Their unique accuracy enables Ishida Newly developed load cell with weighing increments of just 0.01 g (CCW-RV-214-Micro) or 0.025 g (CCW-RV-214-05).
For cannabis pieces from 0.5 mm
The CCW-RV-214-Micro multihead weigher processes cannabis flower pieces from a size of 0.5 mm and the CCW-RV-214-05 model weighs pieces from a size of 1 mm. The tray volumes were determined in such a way that the desired target weight achievable with a single drop is. For even more weighing efficiency Electropolished stainless steel contact surfaces 316, which minimise product deposits.
Both multihead weighers integrate many advanced functions of the market-leading Ishida CCW-RV series. These include the Pulse width modulation for automatic regulation of the distribution disc and the radial chutes for controlled product feed. In addition, the scales have the Triple combination calculation software. The programme determines the three best weight combinations, checks them twice and selects the one that comes closest to the target weight - all in one cycle. In addition, a five-stage digital filter ensures fast and reliable results.
200 presets at the touch of a button
The cannabis scales are operated via an easy-to-use touchscreen. Setup and product changes are made easier and faster thanks to 200 presets that can be called up at the touch of a button are. Another advantage is the function Anti-Floor Vibration, which compensates for vibrations from the production environment to protect the load cell. The CCW-RV-214-Micro model also scores with its extremely compact dimensions and requires only a quarter of the footprint of a normal multihead weigher. This small footprint proves to be especially in cleanroom areas as very valuable.
Software for production monitoring
On the road to Industry 4.0, the Sentinel production monitoring software provide good service. Ishida provides the online software in the Reporting Pack variant free of charge available. This gives companies direct access to the current performance values of their multihead weighers from anywhere.
