Weighing + Packaging Systems | HEAT AND CONTROL

WEIGHING, WRAPPING AND LABELLING ARE INTEGRATED INTO ONE UNIT WITH THE ISHIDA WM - AI The Ishida WM-AI Automatic Wrapper with integrated scale and label applicator has been designed to utilise SMART & AI (Artificial Intelligence) to improve field productivity to a maximum.

The WM-AI design is the result of ISHIDA’s extensive expertise, gained by a thorough analysis of global working environments, operational processes, operator ergonomics and production lines. With a small footprint of 100cm width x 112cm depth, the WM-AI incorporates a stainless steel exterior body, a unique two-film roll mechanism, sliding-out printer, robotic label applicator with user selectable positioning, large 22cm label roll and 8cm thermal head, and a 31cm colour LCD touch panel with adjustable viewing angle. The WM-AI offers high-speed wrapping and labelling with the ability to wrap up to 35 packs per minute, print 120mm per second. It also features an increased wrapping weight capacity of up to 4.5kgs. Clear, tight and wrinkle free wrap is accomplished by using the combination of either pre-stretching or ultra-stretching technologies together with the two-roll system whilst at the same time reducing film usage and cost. The CMOS camera system automatically identifies the tray as it is placed on the weighing area of the in-feed. Any tray misalignment is corrected by the pusher and the centering conveyor, ensuring the pack is always perfectly wrapped, eliminating unnecessary rewraps, inaccurate totals, and film wastage. The WM-AI achieves accurate and consistent label placement by the tray detection system, which knows the size and location of the tray together with the label placement co-ordinates. The WM-AI’s user-friendly ergonomic design focuses on maximising operational efficiency. Film or label roll exchange, daily machine cleaning, and error handling have been designed to minimise downtime. The operators need very little training and within a very short time become comfortable with the operation of the system.
