Automated frying system with integrated Zemic weighing solution

Zemic Europe B.V. (Netherlands) – Automated frying system with integrated Zemic weighing solution

Consistent portioning is essential in the food service industry, where product quality, efficiency, and waste reduction are key priorities. To address these challenges, Devoteq developed an automated frying system capable of accurately dosing portions of fries. By integrating a weighing system into the dosing process, the machine automatically measures each portion and ensures consistent results for every serving.

To achieve the required weighing accuracy and reliability, Devoteq partnered with Zemic Europe. Together, they selected a weighing solution that delivers precise measurements, stable performance, and seamless integration into the automated system.

Zemic & Devoteq:

• High weighing accuracy for consistent portion sizes
• Fast response time to support automated dosing processes
• Cost-effective solution without compromising performance
• Easy integration into industrial automation systems
• Robust construction suitable for demanding machine environments

How Zemic Europe supported the project:

From the beginning of the development process, Devoteq was looking for more than a component supplier. They needed a technical partner who could actively contribute to solving engineering challenges related to the weighing system.

Zemic Europe provided extensive technical support throughout the project. Their local presence in the Netherlands enabled close cooperation and efficient communication during the development phase.

Working together, different weighing concepts were evaluated and tested in practice. Zemic’s expertise helped Devoteq compare multiple options and make informed engineering decisions. This collaborative approach accelerated development and ensured the selection of the most suitable weighing solution for the machine.

“Throughout the development process, Zemic’s expertise helped us evaluate different solutions and make the right engineering decisions. Having a knowledgeable sparring partner made the development process much more efficient.”

Selected Zemic load cell and transmitter:

After extensive evaluation and testing, Devoteq selected the Zemic L6D-C3-10kg single-point load cell in combination with the T1-4 transmitter for the application.

The L6D-C3-10kg was chosen for its OIML C3 accuracy class, excellent eccentric load compensation, and compact single-point design, making it particularly suitable for the platform scale. Its stable output signal ensures consistent measurements, while its cost-effective design provides a balance between performance, accuracy, and value. 

Combined with the T1-4 transmitter, which enables straightforward integration into machine control systems, the solution delivered reliable real-time weighing data and proved to be the preferred choice for the final machine design.
