According to a Gainco press spokesman, "They're the perfect solution for improving high-speed batching, weighing and distribution of leg quarters, drums, wings, boneless breasts, bone-in or boneless thighs fed directly from the production line."
Engineered and built in the US, the batching system aims to optimise the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of poultry batching operations. The product is automatically directed to weigh hoppers, reducing operator stress. Then the quad batching system design requires only two operators to handle up to 24 batches per minute. Moreover, the system can feed both wicket wizard and Cryovac bagging systems.
The company says that fully programmable batching operations can accommodate a wide range of different parameters, such as weight, batch weight, batch count, rate and percent. The batching equipment is designed to handle almost any poultry portion size - including bone-in or boneless products - either fresh or frozen.
Easy programme setup procedures maximise flexibility and make it easy to change batching and reporting parameters, the company also claims.
Designed and constructed in sanitary stainless steel, the batching systems are used for diverse applications, such as batching pieces and parts into vats, totes or bags, and continuous weighing of product portions into or out of a specific process. The batching equipment can accommodate batching needs ranging from 5 to 40 lbs.
Other batching system features include a battery-backed memory for recording the total number of dumps, the total weight, and all setup parameters. Versatile controllers provide ease and flexibility in program setup and operation, while "auto-zero" software automatically adjusts for any product accumulation on the hopper surfaces, thereby assuring greater weighing accuracy.
"Numerous configurations are available, including a variety of distribution conveyors, product in-feed conveyors managed by the batching controller on/off output signal," the press spokesman added.
