DATA S-60: Counting and Weighing in ONE System After identifying a crucial need for inline counting & weighing control, DATA developed the DATA Count & Weigh S 60. This ground-breaking system combines counting and weighing to provide a genuine added-value solution when packaging seeds in bulk. Until recently, the seed industry attempted to reduce weight variation by performing periodical offline sampling during the packaging process. This labor-intensive and imprecise practice requires an operator to count according to a predetermined number, weigh the count, record the TSW/TKW (Thousand Seed Weight) data and, finally, manually change the weight filler set-point. no option to change the set point, the customer has real control over the complete batch, and can to track variations in seed size and weight. Ideally suited for field crops which are sold in numbers but packaged according to seed count like Corn, Soybeans, Cotton, Beans, Sweet Corn and others. With DATA’s new solution, inline counting and weighing sampling has become fully automated and in real-time. TSW/TKW parameters are communicated live to the weight filler, which auto-adjusts the set-point accordingly. The result: More precise seed per Lb. or TSW, with accurate calibration of weight-filling scales. In some cases where there is • Seeds are taken from the packaging line • Sensor in the hopper activates the seed counter • HMI stops the counter when no seeds remain • Seeds are weighed • Seeds are calculated per Lb./TSW • Sample seeds per Lb./TSW calculation is sent to the packing machine PLC MAIN ADVANTAGES Automating the traditional sampling process: • No minimal sampling interval – enabling many more samples per hour • Bulk counting – increasing sampling size and significantly accelerating the count cycle compared to traditional methods • Real-time TSW/TKW data communication – allowing autoadjustment of weight fillers set-point • High accuracy – reducing weight variations and enhancing packing accuracy (particularly with large seed volumes) • Automatic calibration – eliminating any need for manual intervention • Adaptable operation – making operation possible on different packaging lines (no mechanical changes required) • Scalable seed size – accommodating seed counting from 0.5 mm to 25 mm • 100% counting accuracy • Real-time feeder adjustments for optimal accuracy • Rapid counting rates • User-friendly interface • Manual and automatic calibration modes • Multi-language user interface • Touch panel PC control • Count rates of more than 4000 corn seeds per minute DATA Detection Technologies Ltd.
