Minebea Intec, a leading manufacturer of industrial weighing and inspection technologies, will be presenting its latest innovations at this year's FachPack from 24 to 26 September in Nuremberg, a European trade fair for packaging, technology and processes. In Hall 3C, Stand 266, the company will be demonstrating how its technologies can increase the efficiency and precision of packaging processes. Weighing and inspection solutions play a crucial role in the packaging industry by ensuring product quality, minimising production errors and ensuring compliance with legal regulations. A particular highlight of the trade fair presentation is the new Blue HMI for checkweighers.
The new Blue HMI for dynamic checkweighers will take centre stage at Minebea Intec's trade fair appearance. This advanced user inter-face, which can be viewed live on the established checkweigher Flexus , offers numerous smart features to increase efficiency. "Our Blue HMI is characterised by intuitive user guidance and is therefore extremely user-friendly," says Lars-Henrik Bierwirth, Glo-bal Product Manager at Minebea Intec. "The operating unit displays the overall system effectiveness and other statistics based on the current weighing results. It also has various logging functions that make it ideal for audits." As checkweighers are often located at the end of a production line, the integrated overall equipment effec-tiveness provides a clear overview of the efficiency of the produc-tion line as a whole.
The new Blue HMI also offers Minebea Intec customers even more flexibility thanks to a wide range of interfaces. The new user inter-face enables improved connectivity by equipping the checkweighers with flexible interfaces such as industrial fieldbuses, Ethernet/IP, Profinet or the company's own SPC Enterprise. OPC UA is fully integrated in accordance with the specification (Companion Specifi-cation Weighing) and is optionally on board. The interface can also be extended to include the PackML specification (Companion Spe-cification PackML according to OMAC).
Mitus metal detector with MiWave technology
In addition to the Blue HMI, the new Mitus metal detector will be presented, which is equipped with the revolutionary MiWave tech-nology. This technology enables flexible and precise detection of metal contaminants in products of all kinds. The Mitus metal detec-tor offers outstanding sensitivity and stability, making it the ideal solution for demanding inspection tasks in the packaging industry. The advanced signal processing means that even the smallest metal particles can be reliably detected, even with high product effects, further increasing product safety and quality.
Pioneering industrial scales and load cells
The new MiNexx 3000 weighing platforms from Minebea Intec set new standards on the market with their innovative V-shaped de-sign. This design enables increased weighing accuracy while provi-ding excellent protection for the load cell. "Our MiNexx 3000 weighing platforms are durable, robust and capable of withstanding the most demanding industrial environments," says Nils Hubrich, Global Product Manager at Minebea Intec. "They offer a variety of configuration options and can be adapted to a wide range of indust-rial applications." In the packaging industry, for example, they enab-le the precise weighing of materials, whether for filling, packaging or product quality control.
Another highlight is the weighing module Novego , which was spe-cially developed for the high demands of the food and pharmaceuti-cal industries. Novego impresses with its hygienic design, which enables simple, error-free installation and maximum resistance to lateral forces. The exceptional corrosion resistance of the stainless steel and the product design in accordance with EHEDG guidelines make the weighing module Novego insensitive to dirt, water and aggressive cleaning agents. With Novego , companies opt for fast, precise and hygienic installation without additional, time-consuming alignment work.
Comprehensive service for customers
Minebea Intec not only offers first-class products, but also supports its customers as a reliable partner throughout the entire project planning process. The company has set itself the goal of maximising the precision and efficiency of production processes whilst offering customised solutions that meet individual requirements.
At FachPack 2024 in Hall 3C, Stand 266, visitors can experience Mi-nebea Intec's pioneering technologies live and benefit from discus-sions with experienced specialists. Fresh popcorn awaits visitors at the Minebea Intec stand so that they can take away something en-joyable in addition to the technical input.
