Precision Weight Sizing
Compac sorting machines use an electronic weighing system that is unique to Compac and is unsurpassed in accuracy.
Precise weighing results in higher crop returns for Compac customers by reducing give-away in each pack.
The Compac carriers feature four individual weigh points. This is very important to compensate for fruit shape or position (especially with fruit such as pears, avocados, kiwifruit). Two load cells per lane then gather weight information from each weigh point and process approximately 250 readings in less than 1/10th of a second for each fruit. Unique mathematical algorithms are an important but hidden part of the electronics that ensure Compac sizers provide superior precision for greater return on your investment.
This system is specifically designed for accurate high speed weighing of produce from 25 to 2000 grams. The fruit carriers and load cell runners are designed so that each carrier is being measured for over 95% of the weigh cycle, giving maximum time for precision weighing, even at high speeds of 10 to 15 fruit per second per lane.
The weight of every single empty carrier is recorded and used as an individual tare weight and is updated every time that the carrier is weighed empty. This compensates for changes through the packing day, effectively calibrating itself automatically.
Compac graders can provide a weighing accuracy of better than +/- 1.0 gram or .0353 of an ounce per fruit.
