TEA WEIGHING AND FILLING

    Projects

Previous tea weighing and filling machines working on the common balance system were controlled with mechanical linkages, gears and camshafts to perform weighing and filling. However due to the lack of accuracy and the high downtime for maintenance, changes had to be made to improve its efficiency. We achieved this by removing all major mechanical parts and added a load cell based weighing system along with pneumatic components to each weigher. Multiple weighers were connected

 
to a single PLC and accuracy levels of up to 1gm for every 250 gm pack have been achieved with speeds reaching up to 65 packets/min (using a 4-weigher system). Similar accuracy levels and filling speeds have been achieved for 100 gm and 500 gm filling. The improved weighers are then integrated to carton and pouch filling machines to complete the tea weighing and filling operation. The entire operation consisting of weighing and packing is controlled by a PLC.
