Dosing / weighing systems and positioning systems

The current consumer society desires more and more packaged and precisely measured meals. Several grams too much means a considerable loss on an annual basis. This is why Marvu integrates dosing, weighing and portioning systems into existing production lines. During the processing stage these systems accurately dose the desired quantities.

Weighing

Marvu delivers a wide selection of equipment for weighing applications, from check weighers to custom-designed weighing systems. All equipment is robustly constructed using stainless steel and plastic, making it suitable for hose-down cleaning. Depending on the type of product and the capacity, the products can be fed by belt or screw conveyors.

The desired weight can be selected easily via a touch screen or weighing indicator. A large, clear display can show the current weight both in numbers and by means of coloured LEDs. Data can be printed or transmitted via various protocols (such as RS232 / 422 / 485) for further processing.

Of special interest in our product line are check weighers for capacities of up to 50 measurements per minute. All installations are constructed with registered weighing components.

Dosing

Volume dosing combines a robust execution with a high capacity and good reproducibility of the weight. Volume dosing can be subdivided into:

• Piston/cylinder machines for pumpable products (sauces, dairy, etc.)
• Forming/portioning machines (egg roll filling, vegetable mixtures, seared meat, etc.)

Piston/cylinder filling machine for pumpable products

• Capacity: 10-1100 grams (adjustable volume and speed)
• Completely pneumatic control
• Many options available, such as:
- Foot control or operation via a hand pistol with feed hose
- Cut-off knives with or without needle to prevent dripping
- Completely customisable to client specifications

Forming and portioning machine for the portioning of delicate products such as egg roll filling, vegetable mixtures, seared meat, etc.

• Capacity: approx. 50 strokes/minute
• Product dimensions: max. 170x130x30

The reproducibility of the weight is very stable and the weight can be adjusted by varying the pressure on the forming cylinder. There is no need to “lubricate” the forming plate with water.

The installations are robustly constructed using stainless steel and plastic, making them suitable for hose-down cleaning. All parts can be easily removed for cleaning without the use of tools.
