Information
The very first opportunity to weigh what comes into the plant is integrating a SmartWeigher DF in the processing line, after stunning, before killing. Thanks to this early flock weight check, there’s more time to plan production efficiently.
Flock weight
SmartWeigher DF installed in the defeathering line is an invaluable tool giving plant management full information on the weight of product entering and leaving the primary process. It helps to evaluate the quality of the supplied flock at a very early stage, and at the same time, it gives insight into the performance of the control process.
High speed inline
SmartWeigher DF, the inline whole product overhead weigher, is capable of handling the highest speeds, with utmost weighing precision and robustness.
Products stay in their overhead shackles and pass over the weigh bridge with no acceleration or deceleration. The system requires virtually no calibration nor daily attention. Its design is compact, rigid, hygienic and safe.
Early evaluation
Weighing before defeathering provides processors with an early evaluation of the complete product supply, long before their final destination is to be determined. Controlled by Innova PDS, the gathered weight information stays with the shackle until it leaves the chilling tunnel.
Knowing exactly what weight to expect for about 30,000 products in the selection line, production management can match products with incoming orders at a very early stage.
