Thermo Fisher Scientific: Checkweigher for high-rate food can lines

The certified-accurate Thermo Fisher Scientific Versa Teorema checkweigher combines the latest Versa checkweigher controller technology with the Teorema “no moving parts” weigh table to provide worry-free, accurate operation in harsh environments at line rates up to 660 cans/min.

The U.K.’s National Measurement Office (NMO) has certified that the Versa Teorema is in compliance with European Council Directive 2004/22/EC for measuring instruments. The Teorema has been certified by NMO for accuracy class XIII(1) (e ≥ 0.5 g) under the Measuring Instruments Directive and the Organisation Internationale de Métrologie Légale (OIML R51 - Edition 2006(E)). This certification means that Versa Teorema has been independently certified that it delivers the stated weighing accuracy.

The Versa Teorema also offers easy-to-use touch-screen control, a helix infeed, a high-rate reject system and additional communications capabilities. A full mesh cover is available for enhanced safety.

Because the new Versa Teorema does not rely on a traditional conveyor-style weigh table, there is a lower “wear vulnerability” at higher production speeds, according to the company.

The Versa Teorma’s stainless steel design enables it to be used in wet and other harsh environments. It can checkweigh both closed and open cans, giving processors the option of using the checkweigher further upstream before more expensive ingredients have been added.

The Versa Teorema is suitable for checkweighing a wide variety of canned food products including soups, vegetables, fruits, beans, sauces, and seafood.
