PM2020-MC weighing machine

With the development of the PM2020-MC weighing machine, ARCO has taken a major step forward in the efficient packaging of fresh produce. The weighing machine performs excellently in the mushroom and soft fruit industry.

The weighing machine can handle any recipe between 50 and 1000 grams. The desired weight per recipe is freely adjustable. The PM2020-MC processes up to 60 packages per minute, depending on the set recipe, with only one operator at the scales.

How our PM2020-MC weighing machine works

The weighing machine is divided into two tracks, each with three independent weighing belts. Punnets with underweight, good weight and overweight appear on the weighing belts in random order. Punnets with good weight are automatically transported further to the next station in the packaging line. Punnets with underweight and overweight are manually processed by an operator.

On each weighing belt, the machine indicates with an LED indicator how much under- or overweight there is in a punnet. The operator sees at a glance whether a large or small product should be taken from the punnet or added to reach the desired weight. By weighing products in this way, the weight per punnet becomes more stable and the give-away weight lower.
