Loss-in-weight depositor<br />
stops dry inclusion waste<br />
Sparc Systems has<br />
launched a loss-in-weight<br />
depositor that is designed<br />
to help meat, fish, bakery,<br />
fresh produce, dairy and<br />
confectionery manufacturers<br />
save money by eliminating<br />
waste, while presenting<br />
consumers with exciting and<br />
consistent looking products.<br />
Providing layers of taste<br />
and texture to a variety<br />
of products, the depositor<br />
scatters and weighs dry<br />
inclusions with accuracy and<br />
precision. Called Hera, the<br />
unit can help spice up ovenready<br />
chickens, add toppings<br />
to ready-meals, nuts and seeds<br />
on wafer bars, dried fruit into<br />
porridge pots, decorative<br />
sprinkles on cake tray bakes<br />
and insert confectionery<br />
into ice-cream.<br />
Hera can help numerous<br />
companies to automate these<br />
processes and cut inclusion<br />
waste by over 50%, says Sparc.<br />
In some instances, saving<br />
hundreds of kilograms of<br />
added ingredients per week.<br />
From a food retailer’s<br />
perspective, Hera ensures<br />

Sparc’s Hera calculates ingredient weight dispensed to the exact milligram<br />
Gentle vibration is key to dispensing<br />
the best products, featuring<br />
exciting flavours, textures<br />
and nutritional value, are<br />
consistently presented to<br />
shoppers in their stores.<br />
Rather than sieving or<br />
scattering dry free-flowing<br />
products onto applications<br />
manually or using waterfall<br />
style dispensers, Hera deploys<br />
simple yet advanced<br />
technology. Comprising<br />
a loss-in-weight control<br />
system and feeder featuring<br />
a vibrator sitting on top of<br />
load cells, Hera is typically<br />
integrated onto processing<br />
lines prior to packaging and<br />
contaminant inspection.<br />
Two Hera machines can<br />
also be integrated with a<br />
single control weight station<br />
and used as a salt and cure<br />
depositor for bacon.<br />

Door is designed to be versatile<br />
Speed and safety<br />
are offered by<br />
new door models<br />
ASSA Abloy Entrance Systems<br />
has launched the HS7040<br />
high speed door that has been<br />
designed to increase productivity<br />
in the manufacturing, logistics<br />
and retail industries.<br />
According to the company,<br />
the standard frequency converter<br />
control system provides one of<br />
the fastest and smoothest door<br />
speeds which helps to regulate<br />
the flow of traffic and goods.<br />
Equipped with a break-away<br />
system, the door curtain absorbs<br />
the impact and releases itself<br />
from the side frame, then<br />
automatically resets itself<br />
on the opening cycle which<br />
results in reduced downtime.<br />
Meanwhile, the soft bottom<br />
profile limits damage to the door<br />
and surrounding areas.<br />
Digital print can be applied<br />
to the door curtain, if required.<br />
