The FCS 1 and
the FCS-2 weigh and fill 1 to 20 lbs. of chopped,
shredded, diced, batched and small whole vegetables. Some
examples are lettuce, diced onions, stir-fries, cole slaw,
chili peppers, celery sticks, florets and more.
These systems
have a Live Bottom Bin (LBB) to receive product from a
spin basket or other source. The LBB has a slow moving
conveyor that feeds product first-in-first-out to the
incline conveyor which delivers the product at a
controlled rate to the scale head.
The product is
moved to the weigh bucket using bulk and dribble belts
filling 98% of the desired weight quickly and the last 2%
at a slow rate using the dribble belt only. Once accurate
weight is reached the product is gently and quickly
ushered out by a push plate to ensure a clean discharge
into the package. |
