A provider of food, beverage and specialty chemical ingredients is using a Chronos BTH seed-bagging system. In summer 2009 the company had a requirement for a seed bagging system, which Chronos BTH supplied within six weeks of the sale. This bagging line incorporated a Chrono-Weigh H17E electronic bagging weigher. Operating on a gross weighing principle, the H17E is a fully automatic bagger with a pneumatically operated bag spout for manual bag-placing and is controlled by the SpeedAC NXT high-accuracy weighing controller.Downstream of the H17E is a transfer conveyor with stitcher, bag kicker and manual palletising conveyor. Chronos BTH engineered the solution then installed and commissioned the simple bagging system in time for the customer to meet its obligations and pack the first batch of product on time. The Chrono-Weigh H17E automatic bagging weigher has a full-loadcell design and is suitable for bagging a range of free-flowing materials into various types of open-mouth bag. Compatible for existing H17 mechanical weigher installations, the H17E can be retrofitted without major modifications to existing support steelwork.
