Heat and Control Celebrates Ishida’s 50th Anniversary of Multi-head Weighing

Heat and Control celebrates its partner, Ishida, for reaching 50 years of multi-head weighing. To commemorate the milestone, Ishida released a CCW-AS (Computer Combination Weighing-Advantage Series) multi-head weigher.

Ishida’s long history in weighing began in 1893 when they became Japan’s  first private weighing equipment manufacturer. First introduced for agricultural applications, multi-head weighers have become essential across a wide range of markets. Due to their accuracy, Ishida's fixed quantity weighing solutions are widely used in various sectors, including dry and frozen food, fresh meat, poultry and fish, and pharmaceuticals.

The CCW-AS Series is specifically designed to enhance productivity in high-speed weighing applications. Its advanced automation capabilities improve manufacturing and packaging efficiencies, as well as product quality and safety. This next generation model achieves an internal calculation of 0.01g weighing accuracy.

The highly efficient operation reduces downtime and maximizes yield per hour. Smarter controls reduce operator intervention and labor reliance while enhancing robustness and reliability in harsh environments, improving production uptime.

The smart tablet touchscreen with intuitive operation reduces reliance on skilled operators. The advanced visual capabilities assist with operation, efficiency, and IoT connectivity and data handling capacity.

Reduced energy consumption and lower noise levels contribute to a more environmentally sustainable system. The hygienic design reduces chemical and water usage, improves food safety, and reduces cleaning time.

Ideal applications include: snack foods; fresh produce, salad; meat, poultry, seafood; prepared foods; frozen vegetables; candy and confectionery; baked snacks; cheese; fruit; pet food; and pharmaceuticals.
