DATA Detection Technologies in collaboration with packing companies has developed the integrative S-60: A ground-breaking system combining counting and weighing to provide a genuine and added-value solution for packing large amounts of seeds

1. HOW DOES IT WORK?
Seed comes from the sample pipe (red arrow) Sensor in the hopper activates the seed counter
Scale stabilizes for 5 seconds HMI stops the counter Count is read Seed is calculated per Lb./TSW
Sample seed per Lb./TSW calculation is sent to the packing machine PLC
DATA S-60: Counting and Weighing in ONE System
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 auto-adjustment 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 packing lines
(no mechanical changes required)
• Scalable seed size – accommodating seed counting from 0.5 mm to 25 mm
FEATURES
• 99.9 % 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 in collaboration with packing companies has developed the integrative S-60: A ground-breaking system
combining counting and weighing to provide a genuine and added-value solution for packing large amounts of seeds.
For many decades, low-price and high quantity seed bags have been packed by weight. The upside of this packaging model is the increased
ability to achieve greater output at a lower price-point. However, when dealing with seeds, where no two objects are alike, quantity variations
per packed bag can vary from 3% to 5%.
Until recently, the seed industry tried 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, then weigh the count, record the
TSW/TKW (Thousand Seed Weight) data and manually change the weight filler set-point.
With DATA’s new solution, inline counting and weighing sampling 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.
Inherent errors of counted-by-weight seed bags are reduced, while packing accuracy is increased.
The DATA Count S -60 PLUS can easily be integrated into any packing line, with no need for mechanical or engineering changes.
Using this unique solution, large quantities of seeds - as small as 0.5 mm and as large as 25 mm - can be rapidly and accurately counted.
