KOSME Group - makes filling machines FIT®

… HBM is a crucial part of the process intelligence in the filler.

In every phase of the filling process – from charging to zeroing, to fine flow and coarse flow, to reflow and the final check – HBM’s digital load cell takes on these important tasks within the new net weight filler from KOSME. But FIT^® can do more than this. As the first digital load cell on the market, it has built-in electronics to control complex filling processes. What this actually means is this: The intelligent load cell does not just provide all the important measured values, it also analyzes them and uses them to continuously improve the bottling process. So the FIT^® administers taring and controls the newly developed filler valves, including the entire filling process. In parallel with this, the digital load cell evaluates all the stations of the fill cycle and identifies in real time the perfect cutoff points during filling. And best of all, FIT^® learns continually, each time it fills. The cell then automatically uses this valuable knowledge to optimize the fill result.
The advantages are clear. The continual improvements made by the self-learning digital load cell do not just save time and money within a specific filling process. For example, temperature variations and the associated differences in the behavior of the fill material are independently compensated, in favor of the perfect fill. In addition to this, 32 parameter sets for different fill quantities can also be stored in the EEPROM, safe from power failure. This means that the plant can be quickly and easily converted to different quantities and materials.

“FIT® is the capable, cutting-edge technology for every filling task!”

Designed for use in a constantly damp environment, the FIT^® digital load cell not only has digital outputs and inputs, it also has a separate RS 485 BUS that can be used as a diagnosis channel. That way, permanent analyses for error recovery are possible. All the electronics are also contained in the load cell – no additional electronics are required to control the filling processes. The innovative FIT^® load cell thus combines the advantages of a standard solution with maximum flexibility and a wide range of applications. HBM’s free AED Panel Software is perfectly matched to FIT^® and makes using them far easier. For example, it is very easy to detect and filter out system vibrations, and to calibrate and parameterize the weigher unit.
