Bucket weigher

Weighing loose herbs and similar products can be a time-consuming task. With ARCO's Bucket weigher, you quickly and efficiently ensure that each portion is the correct weight. One operator can manage two weighing stations and, with the help of a smart LED bar, can see at a glance whether the weight is correct, too high or too low.

How our Bucket weigher works

The target weight is set in advance. You determine the ideal weight of one bundle of herbs and set the maximum deviation. The upper and lower limits of the target weight can be set separately. An operator stands in front of two Bucket weighers and places a bundle of herbs in one of the two weighers each time. The capacity of ARCO’s herb weighing machines is very high. An operator can weigh 10 to 15 bundles per minute. When the bundle has the correct weight, the center of lights turns green and the Bucket weigher at the bottom opens automatically. The Bucket weigher will not open until the correct weight is reached. This way you can be sure that the weight meets your set requirements at every weigh-in. The herbs land on a conveyor belt placed under the Bucket weigher and can be transported from there to a flowpacker or other packaging machine.

Use of our Bucket weigher

The Bucket weigher is suitable for loose products that need to be weighed in small portions and can be used for weighing herbs, spinach and salads such as ruccola and lamb’s lettuce. In addition, the Bucket weigher is used for weighing:

Basil	Tarragon
Leaf parsley	Chervil
Chives	Coriander
Lemon balm	Curly Parsley
Lemon thyme	Laurel
Dill	Lavas
Oregano	Majorcan
Rosemary	Mint
Sageas	Thai basil
Celery	Thyme

The Bucket weigher can be implemented in new and existing lines. As the belt runs just below the Bucket weighers, the herbs end up nicely compact on the belt, which means they are immediately ready to be packed. The height of the Bucket weigher can be adjusted by means of hand wheels to obtain the correct working height. This provides an ergonomic working environment and allows the bucket to be adjusted to your specific situation.
