Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from 60 to over 120 packs per minute, depending on product characteristics and target weight.

Power supply

Commonly, these lines require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage requirements for each component.

Weigher configuration

Ishida multihead weighers of this model typically feature 14 heads, suitable for a wide range of product types and target weights.

Construction material

Units of this type are predominantly constructed from stainless steel, ensuring hygiene and durability, particularly in food processing environments.

Bagging machine type

The Ilapak 2000 is a vertical form fill seal (VFFS) machine, commonly used for creating various bag styles from a roll of film.

Ancillary equipment

Integrated lines often include metal detection and checkweighing for quality control, and end-of-line equipment like case tapers and conveyors.

Footprint

A complete line of this nature typically requires a significant operational footprint, often exceeding 10-15 metres in length, depending on layout.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, calibration, and preventative maintenance are essential for optimal performance and longevity of all components in a weighing and packaging line.
