What is the primary benefit of using a target batcher?

The primary benefit is significantly reducing product giveaway by combining items into exact-weight packages, thereby improving yield and profitability.

Can this equipment handle different product sizes?

Yes, target batchers are designed to weigh individual products of varying sizes and then select the best combination to meet a predetermined target weight.

Is this unit suitable for both fresh and frozen products?

Yes, Marel Target Batchers are typically designed to handle both fresh and frozen products, as well as fragile items, due to their gentle handling mechanisms.

How does it ensure batch accuracy?

It uses multiple high-accuracy individual scales and sophisticated algorithms to calculate the optimal combination of products from its holding bins to achieve the exact target weight.

What happens to overweight or underweight batches?

Units of this type commonly feature an automatic rejection system for overweight or underweight batches, which are then typically routed for re-weighing or reprocessing.

Is specialist training required to operate this machine?

Basic operational training is typically required for personnel to understand the HMI, set target weights, and perform routine cleaning and maintenance tasks.

The Marel TargetBatcher is the easy way to reduce giveaway, combining a pre-determined number of fresh or frozen products into a package of exact weight. With 7 high-accuracy individual scales and 14 holding bins the Target Batcher selects the best combination of products in the fraction of a second. The TargetBatcher uses a line of seven weighing scales, onto which products are loaded manually. The exact weight of each product is registered, after which the weighing bin releases the product into one of the 14 memory bins. The TargetBatcher then calculates the best possible combination of the weights in the holding bins, in order to put together a final batch with the exact predetermined target weight. The batch is released onto the take-away conveyor belt that transports it to the packing station. Suitable for fresh, frozen or fragile products. Overweight or underweight batches are automatically rejected for re-weighing. Compatible with Innova production software, for a full overview of the packing process.
