The mix is one of Gabriel's best-selling lines but the very different characteristics of the five ingredients, plus a low target weight of just 170g for one of the pack sizes, meant there was a danger of the products separating during an automatic handling and weighing process.
Ishida's recently launched fresh food weigher combines the proven accuracy of the multihead weighing principle with a linear design that allows manual feeding of the product onto the belt feeders of the weigher.
The FFW is positioned above a Multivac thermoforming machine and the seafood and vegetable mix is packed into trays. A special "multiple point discharge" distribution system under the weigher transfers product safely into the trays.
