Yamato's new Epsilon machine drew crowds at PPMA

Yamato Scale Dataweigh UK demonstrated the capabilities of its automatic weighing machinery at this year's PPMA show.

Visitors to PPMA came from a wide range of companies in a variety of sectors including bakery and snack food manufacturers, pet food makers, drinks companies and research and technology organisations.

This show was a great success. Yamato demonstrated the vital role that multihead weighers, checkweighers and table top weighers play throughout the food packaging process and was able to launch its new Epsilon machine.

The PPMA show brings together a high-quality industry audience in a single place. Because of the quality and numbers of visitors to PPMA, from across the supply chain, Yamato chose the show as a platform to launch its innovative new mid-range multihead weighing machine. The new Dataweigh Epsilon is designed specifically for the cost-effective weighing and packaging of loose products.

Andrea Spencer, commercial operations manager for Yamato Scale Dataweigh UK, said: "The quality and range of visitors to PPMA makes this the ideal show for us. It was successful and we engaged with a range of existing customers and new prospects, which you wouldn't find anywhere else.

"As well as showing on own stand, we also exhibited our multihead weighing technology in partnership with other companies that have synergies with Yamato."

The new Epsilon automatic weighing machine range took pride of place on the Yamato stand. It brings together the best features of the SIGMA Series and Yamato's intelligent OMEGA series in a single affordable machine. The new multihead weigher increases the weighing options available from Yamato.

"We are convinced that the multihead weighers in this series will revolutionise the weighing and packaging of loose products across a variety of sectors", said Andrea Spencer, commercial operations manager for Yamato Scale Dataweigh UK.

"The new Dataweigh EPSILON series delivers excellent performance at an affordable price. It can handle a wide range of products without sacrificing speed or accuracy."

The Yamato team also showed visitors to the exhibition how its weighing technology, combined with expert sales and engineering support and spare parts availability, creates a true one-stop-shop for food processing and food packaging solutions.

Yamato demonstrated its total weighing and checking solutions and how they can be implemented in all parts of the packaging process in all the main food processing sectors – salads and fresh produce, IQF and frozen food, snacks, nuts and confectionery.
