MINOR INGREDIENTWEIGHING & BATCHING SYSTEM
OVERVIEW:Sterling Systems and Controls, Inc. supplied a Minor Material Weighing
System and Batching Controls to a bakery that produces fresh baked goods
such as Buns, Bagels, French Bread and Italian Bread Products. The system
supplied by Sterling is responsible for the individual weighments for the minor
ingredients for their bread dough and helped contribute to a consistent batch
every time.
THE CHALLENGE:The primary requirements were related to a full days worth of production
storage of the raw ingredients. Ten ingredients had to be stored and weighed
with the maximum accuracy that could achieved by the system. The customer
already understood what the system would achieve in relation to the end
products that they produce. It was required for each individual ingredient that
weighments would be accurate and production time cost would improve. It
was also vital that there were no missing ingredients and double dosing of the
ingredients would not occur.
There were also space restrictions as the height and fl oor space were
predetermined. Supply bins were sized based upon the feasibility studies
performed on the customer products. Four 70-cubic foot circular bins stored
the most commonly used ingredients and six rectangular bins store ingredients
that are used in smaller quantity. A combination of feeder types and sizes were
used base upon the material weighment size and product fl ow characteristics.
The Challenge• Weighment Accuracy and
Space Effi ciency
• Achieve maximum effi ciency
• Elimination of double dosing and missing ingredients
The Solution• New Minor Material Weighing
System with New Batching Controls
• Custom bins and storage solution
The Results• Full day production capability
without the need to interact with the controls
• Improved accuracy
• Increased effi ciency
System ValuationWeighing or Batching systems similar to the ones featured here will typically range in price from $135 - $165 Thousand per system. The price is subject to change due to project requirements and selected options. Call for current prices.

THE SOLUTION:The system’s overall dimensions
covered an approximately 13 feet
by 18 feet wide area under a 16
feet tall ceiling that allowed the
operators to climb a stairwell to
the mezzanine to fi ll the bins.
Removable lids were installed
with dust collection pickups and
the supply bins had bar grating
inside . The Systems Controls
(PC & PLC Based) allow the
operator to select a formula
and the number of batches to
be produced for that formula. A
custom scheduling screen allowed
for a full day of production
without the need to interact
with the controls during production.
The system provided tolerance control
and material in suspension capability
that insures each weighment is with-in
the acceptable tolerances. Modifi cation
to the formulas, ingredient parameters,
system parameters are all available to the
customers via security levels.
