Due to the wide gap in dosing weights of the packaging units, two lines are normally required for such tasks.
The system should be calibratable according to OIML with a dosing accuracy of 10 g and can be used up to ATEX zone 2/22.
Integration of the weighing solution with as little engineering effort as possible
Both the calibrated automatic small container
scale and the calibrated non-automatic big bag scale are each equipped with
SIWAREX WP251 weighing electronics.
The dosing and filling processes control the
weighing modules autonomously, i.e. independently of the SIMATIC S7-1500 used to
control the complete system.
"The solution with Siemens Siwarex offers us the great advantage of simply integrating the weighing technology into the HMI and at the same time reducing system costs."
Jan Kuonen, Member of Burgener AG’s Executive Board
High flexibility of the weighing solution with manageable integration effort.
Reliability and ease of maintenance of Siemens equipment
The weighing modules can be commissioned, adjusted and operated without the need for programming.
Burgener and Siemens: strong partners for the joint development of future-proof solutions. Siemens cooperates with many OEMs and therefore knows the needs in this area.
Burgener AG, located in Visp in the Swiss canton Valais, is a respected specialist in the field of filling and sealing technology.
International customers from the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries appreciate the great reliability, quality, and adaptability of packaging of Burgener’s solutions.
The company has more than 50 years of experience in the development and production of packaging machines and lines for bulk materials. The request of a customer for a packaging line that could fill both small containers and big-bags jump-started the Swiss team’s creativity.
