Testing – Belgian contract packager goes for top class weighing technology from MULTIPOND

Multipond Wägetechnik GmbH (Belgium) – In Dendermonde, not far from the port of Antwerp, Sivafrost has been packing various kinds of frozen products since 1986. The contract packer’s experience ranges from fruit, potatoes and herbs to various types of pasta through to meat and fish. Both large organizations and small customers from a range of sectors rely on this family-owned company. Sivafrost offers its customers high-quality solutions under strict compliance with food safety laws. Environmental protection is a key element of the company’s philosophy.

Requirements:

The company also lives up to its quality claim in the acquisition of its machinery: “Our customers demand the highest possible quality and complete reliability. We can only guarantee this by going for the best systems available. Good reason, then, to rely on MULTIPOND when it comes to multihead weighers.”

Solutions:

The MP-16-2400-1250-J multihead weigher from MULTIPOND is expanding Sivafrost’s production facility for frozen foods at temperatures down to -25 degrees Celsius. The machine is replacing a weighing system from a competitor, as this was unable to weigh quickly and accurately at the low temperatures. Thanks to its multi-flexible design, the weigher is able to weigh a highly diverse range of products. The weigher is also able to handle mixtures, another big plus when it came to making the purchase decision.

“When we consider that the weigher operates at such minus temperatures for 24 hours in a 5-shift operation and we have had no need to call on MULTIPOND’s service, MULTIPOND fully deserves its name as market leader for quality.” – Stijn Siongers, owner and Managing Director.
