The purchase of two new R-Series multihead weighers from Ishida Europe has doubled the packing speed at leading fresh and frozen shrimp supplier, Goldfish. Goldfish is located in Volendam, The Netherlands, and supplies its shrimps and shrimp-related products throughout Europe. The company is part of the Heiploeg Group, and its products are found in supermarkets, as well as being supplied to the foodservice and catering industries.rnIt had been using linear multiheads for its fresh shrimp packing activities, with speeds at or below 80 packs/min. With the purchase of two 16-head, twin outlet Ishida weighers from the new R-Series, together with a bespoke, Ishida-engineered distribution system to take the product into trays on a Multivac thermoforming machine, Goldfish has now doubled its previous speeds.rnOn each of the new fresh shrimp packing lines, 10-15kg crates of fresh produce are manually tipped onto a long vibratory conveyor, which directly feeds the Ishida weigher. The weigher is programmed to control the infeed by stopping or starting this conveyor.
