Rolling On Interroll success stories

A success story from AP Dataweigh, Inc.

A global bakery supplier of liquid glaze and frosting was inconsistently filling 3 and 5 gallon pails of product. Because of variability in the product flow as plant temperatures increased after start up, the time-fill machine was overfilling the buckets by as much as 5% to ensure that minimum specification weights were met. AP Dataweigh Inc. designed a checkweigher, label detection and lid detection system that solved all of the above issues. Sensors and communication systems were installed in the scale controller to provide centralized control of the fill line.
