Precision Weighing at Its Best: Heroing the CCW-AS Multihead Weigher


Having invented the multihead weigher in 1972, Ishida has continued to provide exceptional weighing performance for production lines. We’ve expanded the range, with a variety of specialist solutions designed to overcome specific weighing challenges. And we’re proud to introduce the CCW-AS as the latest advancement, setting new standards in precision weighing. Boosting overall equipment effectiveness and minimising the manual workload, the CCW-AS opens a new era for multihead weighing. 

Read on as we take a deep dive into the performance, versatility, and wider benefits of Ishida’s flagship multihead weigher. 

Exceptional Speed and Weighing Accuracy 

As the most advanced multihead weigher in the world, Ishida’s CCW-AS offers unsurpassed levels of speed and weighing accuracy. New features such as the optical charge control (OCC) and automatic adjustment of hopper open/close interval enhance product feeding and production output. With the capacity for larger volumes and sticky products, the new XRF-7 radial feeder allows for the optimum product quantity transfer to each weigh hopper. This makes for increased efficiency rates, with more hoppers available for the combination. The best yield is ensured, with the new circuit board advancing resolution and improving accuracy. 

See how the CCW-AS enhances performance: 

  • Takes weighing speeds up to 90 packs per minute 

  • Improves accuracy, with deviations as low as 0.2kg per pack 

  • Increases the capacity for product handling, with seamless changeovers 

Prima Cheese is one of a number of food producers to have realised the benefits of improved efficiency and throughput with Ishida’s Advanced Series weighing system. With product weighing speed and accuracy being vital for the company’s growth, investment in the CCW-AS was an obvious choice. The returns have been clear, with the 14 head 3 litre CCW-AS model weighing grated cheese from 500g – 2kg at typically 30 bags per minute with a weighing accuracy to within 0.2g per pack. Integration of Ishida’s next-level weighing machine has also increased the Prima Cheese throughput by up to 40%. 

Robust, Hygienic Construction 

Together with enhanced weighing performance, the CCW-AS also supports the maintenance of hygiene standards. With its stainless steel construction and self-draining sloped surfaces, this advanced multihead weigher effectively minimises bacteria traps. The drive unit remains clear of product debris, even after long hours of operation. Cleaning is quick and easy thanks to the smooth machine surface and wider gap, making for reduced downtime and greater productivity. 

The CCW-AS has been designed for ease of use too, with the smartphone like interface and intuitive graphical icons reducing the risk of human error. Integrated with multiple cameras, this next-level multihead weigher allows for optimal production monitoring and the verification of machine status. These features make a great difference in the maintenance of food safety and operational uptime. 

Versatility Across a Wide Range of Products 

From fresh produce to snacks, the CCW-AS has the capacity for a diverse range of product types. Flexibility is assured in handling various pack sizes, including mixed product varieties and sticky or challenging items. Integrated with the latest technology, the CCW-AS promises to boost production speed and minimise giveaway across a variety of food production environments. 

CCW-AS applications include: 

  • Confectionery 

  • Cereals 

  • Dairy 

  • Biscuits and bakery 

  • Hardware 

Complete with enhanced motor drive controls, Ishida’s latest multihead weigher delivers on the sustainability front too. Consuming less energy and producing less noise than more conventional systems it makes for enhancement of the working environment and the achievement of eco-friendly goals. Built for reliability even in harsh environments, the CCW-AS is an obvious choice for sustained operational effectiveness.
