Kronen KWS Crate Weighing System – Fast, Accurate Crate Filling for Food Processing

CBS Foodtech offers the Kronen KWS Crate Weighing System—a fully automatic solution for fast, precise weighing and filling of Euronorm crates with processed vegetables, lettuce, and other food products. Designed to streamline the final stage of your production line, the KWS system ensures each crate is filled to the exact target weight, maximising efficiency and minimising manual handling.

How it works:
Products are automatically filled into crates on a sturdy weighing platform. The system manages three crates at a time (two empty, one active) and controls the infeed belt for both coarse and fine filling, ensuring optimal accuracy. As soon as the pre-set weight is reached, the filled crate is automatically discharged to a roller conveyor or docking station, and a new empty crate is loaded for the next cycle.

Smart process integration:

• The KWS can be supplied with its own filling belt or integrate with existing belts

• Optional data processing features let you track crate weight, capacity per hour, and more

• Designed for use with label printers for crate or pallet labelling

Safe and hygienic operation:

• Infeed belt uses high-quality belts (not chains) for clean and safe crate transport

• Slipping clutch on the drive unit provides a high level of work safety

• Hygienic and robust construction for food processing environments

Productivity and performance:

• Fill and weigh crates in seconds for high-throughput operations

• Easily integrates into any production line, especially at the packing or dispatch end

• Programmable target weights ensure consistency and reduce giveaway
