California-based Lusamerica processes a large range of products, including marinated salmon, mesquite salmon ravioli and salmon burgers. With such a wide range of product specifications and tight delivery schedules, process efficiency is vital.
The AEW Delford 8060 weigh price labeler that Lusamerica has installed is linked to a product converger with four dedicated lanes: lane 1 cod; lane 2 salmon; lane 3 Dover sole; and lane 4 catfish. The converger releases the individual trays on a first come first served basis and, because the 8060 is programmed to identify what format is being run on each lane, it can identify what fish product is coming to the weigh cell.
