1.6 Description of the system - general notes
Automatic high-performance weighing-pricing lines suitable for the most
different fields of use.
Created with latest generation electronics and controlled by the very
highest level, flexible software allowing the users to operate by means of
the keyboard and 10.4" graphic display in a simple and intuitive way in
order to achieve operating rates of up to 120 weighing
operations/minute.
Thanks to their modular design, the Mercury Plus lines are able to
comply with any weight, product shape, frequency and size requirement.
The different types of belt (flat, "V" shaped, mobile), the different
application systems (arm, air-jet) and the choice of weighing modes
(static or dynamic) make this an absolutely versatile machine.
A series of optional functions and devices such as ejectors, the
metal-detector and totalizers complete the range.
A list of the main technical features is given below:
✔Conveyor with 3 or 4 flat or "V" shaped belts.
✔Static or dynamic weighing with frequencies of up to 120 packages
per minute according to the dimensions, weight and shape of the
package and the length of the labels.
✔Alphanumeric-functional keyboard with 99 keys
✔Ethernet network with TCP/IP protocol

The mod. MERCURY PLUS automatic weighing line is a system that
handles, weighs, labels and unloads the product in a fully automatic
way.
Cigiemme machines are equipped with systems that receive and
transmit signals to enable the actual line and prior machines to operate.
When the enabling signals are disabled by the machines downstream,
the weighing system stops after having concluded its weighing and
labelling cycle. A package may therefore be unloaded after the signal
has been disabled.
The line comprises a series of conveyors (belt types, roller types, etc...)
