Dynamic checkweighers save money and guarantee 100% control
This was another reason why BCM opted for dynamic checkweighers from METTLER TOLEDO Garvens. “Our company strives for 100% checking,” explains Sascha Dussa, a process engineer at BCM Kosmetik. “This is the only way we can be sure that no incompletely filled products are distributed to retailers. Dynamic checkweighers also enable us to dispense with static random sample checking, so we can make more efficient use of our staff.”
The XS2: reliable weight checking for up to 600 grams
When process reliability is of the essence, the compact and highly efficient XS2 checkweigher from METTLER TOLEDO Garvens is the optimum choice. With its clear 15-inch touchscreen, memory for 200 articles (product set-ups), classification in up to seven weight zones and comprehensive range of options and accessories, the XS2 is the optimum solution for cosmetics companies. With an accuracy of 100 milligrams, the checkweigher can check up to 60 mascara wands per minute on BCM’s mascara line. The BCM products are transported safely across the weighing belt by an optional guide rail. Overfilled or underfilled mascara products are filtered out by tandem air jet nozzles. The optional counter function also makes it easier to change boxes for dispatch. The checkweigher counts ‘good’ products with reference to an individually predefinable number. Once the specified quantity is reached the belt stops and the operator can replace the box containing the newly manufactured products.
FreeWeigh.Net networks all checkweighers and optimally supplements existing operating data systems
At BCM, all checkweighers are networked with the FreeWeigh.Net software. FreeWeigh.Net allows all production data to be centrally checked and also monitored for compliance with legal and business requirements. The software suggests easy-to-implement solutions to optimize the filling process.
Equipped with a powerful data import and export module, FreeWeigh.Net is the ideal addition to existing operating data recording systems. The software provides seamless information and data from the production process, facilitating compliance with BCM’s quality requirements.
METTLER TOLEDO offers comprehensive solutions for product control”We consciously decided in favor of the database solution from METTLER TOLEDO because the database structure of FreeWeigh.Net impressed us the most,” recalls Sascha Dussa. “We also wanted to source the software solution and the dynamic checkweigher from the same company.”The PI Division of METTLER TOLEDO offers the full range of in-line control solutions, i.e. checkweighers, metal detectors and X-ray inspection units, making it an ideal business partner for BCM Kosmetik GmbH. BCM – the leading cosmetic specialist – relies on dynamic checkweighers from METTLER TOLEDO Garvens.
