HIGH-SPEED CHECKWEIGHING SYSTEMS FROM GAINCO

 

Gainesville, Ga.,  November 29, 2006Checkweigher Systems from Gainco, Inc. provide accurate high-speed, in-motion weighing of both raw and boxed Poultry & Red Meat products against a variety of pre-set accept or reject parameters.  The equipment is specially designed to withstand the rigors of heavy use in virtually all processing environments.

Constructed using heavy-duty type 304 stainless steel tubing, Gainco checkweighers feature a hermetically sealed loadcell design with 8-point overload protection and NEMA 4  controller enclosure to prevent damage to “smart” components from harsh washdown and production processes.  The ultra-reliable controller features increased uptime, reduced maintenance costs and user-friendly operator screens.  Hardware and software packages are custom-configured to meet specific customer throughput and accuracy requirements. 

Gainco Checkweighers feature a reject arm to quickly yet carefully divert product, thereby optimizing quality and appearance of the product prior to re-work. Highly durable plastic  belting  is also  used for reliability  and enhanced sanitation.

 

Dataman® Data Collection System, available for use with Checkweighers and other Gainco yield management systems, is a software/hardware combination allowing for the integration of all remote units on the production floor.  Operators can set parameters for individual pieces of equipment, monitor yield and throughput, and create customized reports all from a single location.  Data can be provided to both plant managers and corporate executives via a network interface. The raw data can then be moved to popular databases like Oracle, SQL Server, and DB2.

Checkweigher systems from Gainco can be integrated seamlessly with existing poultry production operations.  For more information, contact Russ Williams at (770) 534-0703 or e-mail your request to info@gainco.com.
