From weighing chocolates and sweets to inspecting multi-product packs, Advent calendars and products with additional components, Libra offers solutions designed to preserve product integrity and ensure maximum food safety.
Key challenges
Delicate, easily damaged products
Chocolates, pralines and other confectionery products need extremely gentle handling to preserve their shape, finish and appearance
Small products
Sweets, chocolates and individually wrapped products require high weighing and counting precision even at high speeds
Mixes and multi-product packs
Assortments and mixed packs need correct dosing and every intended item to be present
Dosing and counting precision
Weight compliance and the correct number of pieces in the pack are essential to ensure quality and reduce giveaway
Checking product integrity
Broken, missing or non-compliant products must be identified before distribution
Food safety
Metal contaminants and other foreign bodies call for reliable inspection systems along the entire line
