Exact 100: The best citrus weigher in the world to be launched late 2016

GIRÓ plans to launch in late 2016 the new citrus weigher Exact 100. A machine with an innovative design appointedto be the best citrus weigher manufactured ever.Giró’s engineering team invested more than 5 years of research and development to achieve an outstandingproduct which will become a breakthrough in the fruit processing business.Exact 100 is a high productivity and extremely accurate dynamic weigher. A new and smart mechanical drivingsystem together with a sophisticated algorithm are responsible to achieve the better bucket feeding according tothe fruit caliber and target weight. A well balanced bucket feeding is very important to have the proper combinationalpossibilities to find the target weight. An innovative system based on robotic fingers gives the right and precise dose of fruit to each bucket. This bucket feeding can be done at high speed allowing to fill up to 48 pieces per second in the 8 buckets.The high capacity buckets are driven trough different carousels with a precise continuos movement. The completelynew driving system is smooth and free of undesired vibrations.Also, a unique design of the load cells system do the weight measurement achieving an accuracy of half gram perbucket, an unprecedented milestone in weighing fruit. Thanks to this set of new developments (do not forget this machine has 6 different patents protecting differenttechnological improvements) it’s possible to achieve a high accuracy of 10 grams per dump at high output of 100bpm of 1 kg.Exact 100 is a very versatile machine because it has 4 bidirectional output belts that enable to feed a multitude ofpackaging machines. An optimal configuration is to install four GirBagger machines or in a multi-format  implementation, can feed 3 GirBagger and 2 clipping machines like CA-9s or CA-10.Easy maintenanceAnother important aspect where Giró engineers take care in designing the Exact 100 is its easy maintenance andcleaning. In addition to employing robust and reliable mechanical systems and easy accessibility to the componentsthat may require maintenance, it has also designed for a simple and effective cleaning. The buckets can be easily removed by using one hand.Together with the Exact 100 an automatic washer-sanitizing machine will be launched. This washer is ideal notonly for cleaning but also sanitizing the buckets. Also it supports the PDG-4 buckets or other elements such asconveyor belts. SourceGiro Magazine Fruit Logistica 2016
