1 Duraweigh In-Motion Checkweigher Systems for Poultry Advanced hygienic design plus accuracy and labor savings in one powerful, high-volume system.

2 DuraWeigh An enhanced margin of performance in accuracy and efficiency. For 25 years, Gainco has provided highly effective weighing, sizing, sorting and distribution solutions to poultry processors. Our systems and products are engineered to reduce product giveaway and save labor, while also delivering a low total cost of ownership that maximizes process margins. DuraWeigh in-motion checkweigher systems from Gainco deliver optimum levels of accuracy, versatility and cost-saving performance. They automate checkweighing procedures for bags and boxes along with providing an integrated reject/rework unit to accommodate over- and underweight products. DuraWeigh in-motion checkweigher systems are so effective that most have sixmonth or shorter payback periods, making them the natural choice when making capital improvements to your plant. Best of all, the technical specialists at Gainco are available to help you in any way you need from opportunity identification to project scoping and feasibility, and on to implementation, startup and post-installation support. Highly accurate and efficient DuraWeigh in-motion checkweigher systems from Gainco save labor costs while also reducing product giveaway thereby improving plant profits.

3 Benefits that go beyond the ordinary. Advantages & Benefits Quick return on investment Labor savings up to two operators per shift Higher volumes achieved than with manual labor alone Real-time process information display Special equipment design facilitates easy, effective washdown sanitation Maintenance-friendly... easy accessibility for service Features GSE 662 digital controller Adjustable lower and upper limits, as well as weigh setpoints AMI sanitary design WiFi connectivity Ethernet Fully integrates with optional DataMan data management system When you install a DuraWeigh in-motion checkweigher system, you get far more than just the standard weighing functionalities. Better Accuracy Solid system construction holds calibration longer and more accurately while standing up to daily heavy use. Tension and compression overload stops on load cells improve accuracy. Easy-to-read onscreen totals for over- and under-weights, make reporting more accurate and efficient. More Labor Savings Automatic rejection of over- and under-weight products reduces manual labor requirements and cost in addition to achieving better production efficiencies. Rapid and accurate unattended operation increases production throughput. Password-protected user settings control giveaway and reduce operator mistakes. Rugged Durability Heavy-duty stainless steel construction stands up to the harshest poultry plant environments. GSE 662 controller equipped with NEMA 4X enclosure withstands the rigors of washdown sanitation procedures. All other key components are environmentally protected to increase parts longevity and reduce the need for maintenance. Easy to Clean Easy to Maintain Innovative open-frame design leaves no place for food debris and bacteria to hide or for water to collect. This results in better sanitation, easier washdown procedures and less maintenance. Easy-access wiring and load cells facilitate inspection and scale calibration.

4 DuraWeigh Design flexibility. In the poultry processing industry, one size doesn t fit all. That s why we ve engineered a variety of checkweigher system configurations and options to meet the specific needs of individual plants. Every system is flexible to accommodate your specific requirements. Our engineers can also custom-design a system to meet any special need. DuraWeigh in-motion checkweighers are ideal for weighing a wide variety of fresh and frozen bagged, boxed or tote-packaged products such as: Lobes Wings Boneless breasts Tenders Leg Quarters Drumsticks Thighs Paws Giblets Equipment Options Flipper reject arm 31-inch deck length

5 Accurate measuring Accurate reporting. Eliminate the Guesswork It s almost impossible to manage what you can t measure accurately. Yet that s precisely what is expected of plant managers today. So we ve designed our DuraWeigh in-motion checkweigher systems to give you all the tools you need to take the guesswork out of yield management. Real-Time Reporting Reporting tools capture important data such as total units run, average unit weight, average unit giveaway and total product giveaway. Your supervisors stay abreast of production information in real time, as it happens. Production data output can be transmitted easily to any database or enterprise reporting system all as part of a comprehensive yield management solution. Continuing the Bettcher tradition of innovation and excellence In 1999, Gainco became a member of the Bettcher Industries family of companies. With a legacy of innovation dating from 1944, Bettcher is a leading name in the meat processing industry. The company s pioneering trimming and cutting products are used in processing plants throughout the world. The Quantum Trimmer System, introduced in 2013, is the new benchmark for performance and productivity enhancements in meat and poultry processing. AirShirz pneumatic scissors, winner of the Industrial Engineers Excellence in Productivity Award, are redefining worker efficiency and comfort on meat and poultry production lines. Accurate measuring and accurate reporting along with reduced labor requirements add up to a very attractive ROI on every DuraWeigh in-motion checkweigher system.
