Customer need

The goal of this packaging line is to automatically sort chickens by weight range. To do so, the operator sets the different grades by defining the weight ranges and related outputs. Each chicken is suspended and carried at high speed on a rail. Without any stop, the system has to accurately weigh the chicken and drop it in the related section.

SCAIME solution

SCAIME and TUPUNATRON proposed a complete solution where the PLC takes care of general system controlling and the dynamic weighing tasks are sub-contracted to the eNod3-C checkweighing controller.

The PLC manage the hanger identification, eNod3-C takes care of digital filtering and dynamic weighing. After each hanger passing on the load cell, eNod3-C sends the chicken weight value to the PLC which ejects it into the requested section.

  • 1 single point load cell AK
  • 1 checkweighing controller eNod3-C

  •  1 Indusoft SCADA system

Customer benefits
