PENKO Engineering B.V.
has developed a range of solutions and products to cater for high speed
measurement and accurate detection of over- or underweight in check weighers.
The unique way of measuring, high speed and high resolution,
offers outstanding suppression of undesirable dynamic effects.
Check-weighers
are automated systems designed for checking the weight of packaged commodities
for the purposes of internal control and external trade application. The
checking process is usually found at the end of production processes in any
given industrial process flow.
For external trade applications,
legal requirement is obligatory. The worldwide O.I.ML. (International
Organization for Legal Metrology) recommendation R51 outlines these rules while
the MID (Measurements Instruments Directive) is Europe specific. Two
types of check weighing can be distinguished:
- Category X: the package content is determined and compared with defined tolerances for purposes of acceptance or discard of a package. Such tolerances are typically mandated, similar to the e-mark registration. Packages weight outside of the given tolerances, are automatically removed from the process line.
- Category Y: only the package content is defined; this is needed for content price calculations.
Both
categories can be either static or dynamic. In the latter case, the package is
in motion, for example on a conveyor belt. This will typically have an adverse
effect on the weight due to accelerations and vibrations of the mechanical
parts. The sophisticated state-of-the-art filtering process allows PENKO
instruments to excel under such conditions. Furthermore, they are certified in
accordance with the MID directive and OIML R51 recommendation. For registration
purposes, PENKO designed a special e-marking software.
Your competitive advantage
A
high resolution filtering system combined with high speed measurement offers
smart weighing results for any operating environment. Our instruments are
certified in accordance with the MID and OIML-recommendation R51. Special
software, based on the e-mark principle, is available for registration of
measuring results.
