Reliable detection of leaks in bags and trays with integrated vision system for label inspection.

The TSC-AS inline seal tester measures the air pressure and fill level of every pack directly from the bagmaker. It can detect apertures as small as 3mm, using inline, non-destructive testing, checking each pack for leaks, incorrect inflation and double packs. Its small footprint allows quick and simple installation and enables it to fit easily into existing lines. NEW (launched at interpack 2023): High performance in-line Sealtester Key benefits: Superb detection accuracy at high speed: • High precision seal integrity testing at speeds up to 150 packs per minute. • High-accuracy in-line leak detection and gentle bag handling deliver excellent quality control. • Feedback control ensures the servo operated inspection head applies optimum pressure to the bag for enhanced leak detection accuracy. Advanced control: • Auto Air-Fill (AAF) feedback software automatically monitors and adjusts the pack inflation level on the bagmaker to deliver consistent pack thickness to the Casepacker Connectivity: • Pre-configured for Smart Factories: Ishida Sentinel Reporting Pack, included free of charge for life, provides instant visibility of live machine performance from anywhere in the world.

Includes integrated metal detection, under-labelling, automatic change of label head positioning, special label applicators for uneven product surfaces and label cassette changeover in 30 seconds using pre-loaded label reels.

The Ishida AirScan uses advanced laser technology to identify leaks of CO2 from holes as small as 0.25mm in sealed modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) at speeds up to 160 (!) packs per minute.

A smart and easy solution for a wide range of batching and grading applications. The Ishida flexgrader reinforces Ishida's position as a complete turnkey supplier to large-scale meat, poultry and fish processors.

Automated weighing and optimised styling of chicken, meat and fish into fix weight trays. Takes product from upstream processing / cutting areas and delivers accurately filled and styled fixed weight trays. Product is individually weighed and subsequently scanned by shape, position and orientation to determine the robot's selection of pieces for each tray. Unique gripper design enables fast orientation and firm but gentle, clean and decisive placement. Speeds up to 320 pieces or 160 two-piece packs per minute: Typically 10 times faster than manual operation: Cuts giveaway per pack from typically 10 to under 1%. Reduces labour from typically 10 to just 3 operators. Saves floor space by up to 30% compared with manual operation.

Ishida are one of the leading suppliers of checkweighers with an installed base of over 74,000 units. Ishida checkweighers are available with IDCS (Ishida Data Capture System) software to monitor the performance and efficiency of your packing lines, both on site and remotely, to identify cost saving opportunities.

Ishida are the undisputed world leader in the supply of complete weighing, packing, inspection and case packing solutions for snack foods with an installed base in excess of 7,500 snack food bagmakers worldwide. Inspira Boxmotion: High Performance Snack Food Packing System for Flexible Pack Formats Key benefits: • The INSPIRA Boxmotion is ideal for snacks manufacturers and -packers that want to reduce costs and ensure an error-free production whilst maintaining a flexible operation to meet the ever-changing customer needs. • Box motion technology can handle all the latest pack formats, inckluding pillow, side gusset, block bottom, chain packs and flat bottom bags. • Switching between continuous and intermittent motion is carried out by just changing a pre-set on the HMI screen, with no change parts or operator intervention required. • Automated film centring and film tension adjustment, auto-splice film management and automated air-fill technology ensures faster changeovers, reducing human error, film and product waste and increasing production efficiency and pack consistency. • Splice table light-bar allows fast and easy automatic film splicing, thus overcoming the challenges associated with manual intervention. Capable of completing a film splice cycle in only 20 second this allows operators to manage more machines, thus offering significant cost savings. • The bagmaker’s open structure allows easy access to key components such as former, film spindle and tension rollers to minimise downtime for changeovers. • Large menu-driven Human Machine Interface (HMI) screen provides performance data and diagnostics, with multi-level password access to ensure data integrity. • Offers 30% increase in speed, uses 17% less energy during operation and 25% on standby compared with previous models. Maximum bagmaker noise level of 71.1dBA.

IX-PD: a real step-change in X-ray inspection systems. Key benefits: • Incorporates new sensor and image processing technology to achieve the highest levels of detection sensitivity • Direct Conversion technology enables the X-rays to be directly converted to electrons rather than through a photodiode. Removing one of the stages in the inspection process increases the energy efficiency of the IX-PD • Capable of detecting both low-density and very small size foreign bodies with excellent accuracy whilst enabling manufacturers to maintain high productivity rates. • Combined with Ishida’s proven Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Dual Energy technologies, the machine produces an ultra-high resolution and clearer image than conventional X-ray systems. • Offers enhanced detection for low-density items including bones in fish fillets and also minute foreign bodies such as stainless steel wires. • Demonstrated in tests near 100% detection rates for bones in chicken, diced meat and sausages, achieving for bone detection in chicken breast fillets an increase from 40% to 100% compared to existing X-ray technologies. • The IX-PD has been designed for high-volume production lines and where there is a tendency of overlap or products that stand up in densely packed food products, which normally makes fine contaminants difficult to detect. • The machine’s ability to recognise the difference between food and foreign bodies with high accuracy reduces the rate of detection errors, thus enabling companies to maintain stringent quality control procedures without compromising on throughput rates.
