PFM of Italy has announced a new range of multi-head weighers equipped with memory buckets to give 200 weighings a minute.

The first of the C3 weigher range to be demonstrated in the UK, a 14-head machine, has been mounted on the new Comet bagger, PFM's fastest vertical form-fill-seal machine to date. It provides a cost-effective solution for the snackfood and confectionery industries.

The C3 accepts product into a tier of weighing buckets, from which the controls select a number for discharge, in combination, to provide the closest match to target weight. However, the C3 has a second tier of buckets that accept product from any undischarged weighing buckets, holding the weight in memory for the controls to make up the next target weight.
