which provides real-time data that can stored in a central computer. It is also compatible with Yamato Stats, a fully automated data collection system, running from a server or PC, that provides manufacturers with a complete inspection and data collection solution.

Ian Aitchison, Yamato Scale’s product manager multiheads and export sales manager says, “The semi-automatic function of the TSDN3 increases yield and productivity, while at the same time reducing labour costs. Manufacturers that switch to automating this part of the production line will therefore benefit from a full return on their investment within six to 12 months.

“Additionally, the TSDN3’s hygienic design and robust stainless steel construction means that it can be hosed down. The water will drain away freely – so there are no areas for water to sit and turn into bacteria traps, making it ideal for applications where the risk of contamination from unclean surfaces is highest.

“The TSDN3 has two conveyor belt sizes to choose from, but each machine has a compact footprint. Plus, it’s a mobile system that can be moved around the factory, giving manufacturers flexibility and the ability to move it to a designated cleaning area to maintain maximum standards of hygiene.” •
