Ishida unveils new equipment

Ishida Europe unveiled a new multihead weigher for salads at AGF. It has been developed in co-operation with salad packers throughout Europe.

Special dimpled stainless steel surfaces on the new design minimises the contact area between the weigher and the product. This eases movement and permits a consistent product flow through the weigher.

It is also launching a new weigh price labeller (WPL), specifically designed for the European market and suitable for fruit and vegetables.

The WPL 5000 offers fast speeds with a label printing speed of up to 255mm per second for even awkward shaped products or labels. These include a unique label cassette system that allows changeover of labels in 10 seconds.

The machine can be quickly dismantled without tools for fast and easy cleaning. Exterior parts are manufactured in hygienic stainless steel and the innovative design of the stand helps to prevent a build up of food or dust.
