Tea Bag Weighing
Optimizing for Lightweight Precision in High-Capacity Hopper
This equipment is designed specifically for weighing tea bags and is primarily sold to malls, hotels, and supermarket retailers. Tea bags are typically lightweight, weighing around 5g or 10g.
Challenge
- Large Hopper Weight: The tea hopper, which holds the tea prior to bagging, typically weighs about 200g, while each individual tea bag weighs only 5g or 10g.
- Dynamic Weight Inspection: Since this is a dynamic weighing process, weight signals must transmit quickly to the PLC or controller to allow the next action to occur without delay.
- Eccentric Hopper Design: Due to the offset (eccentric) design of the tea hopper, the load cell must handle the torque created by the hopper’s uneven weight distribution.
Solution
- Our 108xx small-capacity load cells, combined with the A2P-D2 amplifier, offer the perfect solution for this application.
- The 108xx load cell series is specially engineered for applications with high tare weights and small measurement ranges, achieving accuracy levels above 0.023%.The elastomer materials undergo special polishing and inspection, and aerospace-grade vacuum cables are used to enable the sensor to operate in a vacuum environment.
- Constructed with high-strength aluminum, the 108 series sensors provide resilience and overload resistance.
- Finite element analysis optimizes torsion resistance and improves the sensor’s dynamic response time.
- The A2P-D2 amplifier delivers quick and reliable analog signal amplification, eliminating delays common with digital signal processing and allowing immediate integration with the controller.
Conclusion
Integrating the 108xx load cells and A2P-D2 amplifier allows the equipment to measure with precision down to 0.1g. This high accuracy and fast response time enable a more efficient packaging process, significantly boosting production efficiency.
