ESRA

Eliminate operator steps when packeting using the Excess Seed Repack Accessory.
Also known as ESRA, this accessory sits to the right of the counting head and seed feeder.
Any seed emptied from the feeder bowl at the conclusion of a packeting program is collected by the unit and conveyed to a discharge chute on which the supply envelope has been placed after the seed has emptied into the feeder bowl.

Additionally, any seed diverted from the side of the counting head by the In-Transit Diverter is also conveyed to the supply packet.
Made of 22 gage stainless steel, the unit can be added to any model Old Mill Seed Counter.
Use of this unit requires that the height of the counting head, and the dual packeting chute assembly be increased using an adapter kit supplied with the unit.
The height of the feeder base stand must also be increased. All new counting systems are now supplied with a feeder base stand adjustable in height.

TREATED SEED VACUUM UNIT

A new vacuum system has been developed specifically for the Old Mill Seed Counters which will remove any loose seed treatment dust or other foreign material from the stream of seeds being fed into the seed counter.
The vacuum unit is a quiet (less than 65 dbA) long life motor assembly including easily replaced filters which separate the dust and other foreign material from the air stream. A prefilter separates larger particles from the airstream prior to the main filter, thereby ensuring increased life of the main filter.
In addition to increasing personnel safety due to elimination of airborn dust, increased counting accuracy is obtained by eliminating light foreign material.

AUTOMATIC SEED CLEAN-OUT ACCESSORY

Additional minutes are saved for each sample if the feeder base stand is equipped with the Automatic Seed Clean-Out Accessory.
This unit adds a motor drive and control to the quick empty feeder base stand so that, when used with the Excess Seed Repack Accessory, it will automatically empty ALL seed remaining in the feeder bowl at the end of the packeting program and return to operate position, ready for the next seed sample.
This allows the operator to concentrate on the packeting process, reducing errors and speeding up the packeting process. If the ESRA unit is equipped with the supply envelope sensing control, the unit will not empty unless the supply envelope is in place on the discharge chute of the ESRA unit.
The Quick Empty Feeder Base Stand (standard) and the Automatic Clean-Out Accessoty make this process faster.

BAR CODE SCANNERS

Improve Productivity with Digital Scanning The DS 6600 family, with its CCD sensor, is ideal for capturing both linear and 2 Dimension barcodes. Multiple interface options allow quick data communications. The DS 6600 features omnidirectional reading, making scans faster and speeding up inventory and checkout processes. The DS 6600's sturdy construction makes it perfect for every day use stations.

Very usefull when used with Counter Model U, making easier to find the supply material in a packeting program or when using pre-labeled envelopes, so a match of every one is needed before start counting.

LABEL PRINTERS

The TLP 2844-Z offers the best in-class integration capabilities of any desktop thermal label printer in the industry. This new ZPL based model comes standard with triple communications interfaces - serial, parallel & USB. featuring the ZPL II print language.

The TLP 2844-Z desktop label printer offers 4-inch print-width capability. These models provide a sturdy double-walled case design and come equipped with a new-generation of controller board motor and power supply that drive the TLP 2844's at a print speed of 4 inches per second! An improved print head provides 203 dpi resolution with enhanced print quality and the choice of direct thermal or thermal transfer printing technology ensures greater flexibility in supporting a broad variety of labeling applications.

When used with Counter Model U, is possible to print labels for each counted packet, at the same time the envelope is been counted. Using a default or your own label template.
The optional internal ZebraNet PrintServer II interface provides quick and easy integration into Ethernet networks and enables the printer to unlock the power of ZebraLink.

VIAL FILLING ACCESSORY

There are two different types of vial filling accessories, one mounts on the Dual Packeting Chute Assembly for the operator to change vial from side to side as they are filled.

For reduced labor in filling vials an automatic vial indexing system is now available.  Vials are held in a rectangular holder termed a "Manifold" which may hold 10 or more vials, varying with the vial size.

These manifolds are indexed under the filling system as they are filled.  Up to 5 manifolds may be placed in the unit allowing up to 50 or more (depending on vial size) vials to be filled without operator attention.

Calibrated Bowl Dials

Calibrated bowl dial to adjust the bowl track width for accurate singulation of each seed or part being handled.  A "cookbook" of settings may be established to simplify operation by lesser skilled operators.

DIFFERENT BOWL CAPACITIES

LOT STORAGES

A lot storage holds the counted items while the counting is proceeding and releases it when the complete count is reached and a request for delivery of the lot is received from and external system such as a packaging machine.
This allows the counter to be completing a counted lot while the external machine is cycling and cannot receive parts.
Both single and dual lot storage accessories are available, the dual storage unit increasing the system operating rate (the dual storage operates with a modified dual packeting chute assembly) because counting can continue on one lot while the other completed lot is discharged into the packaging machine.

SUPPLY HOPPER
External Bulk Supply Hopper-----This is for applications where large volumes of seeds or parts are needed as the system operates. It will store up to 1 cubic foot of material and feed it into the bowl feeder as needed to keep the operating level optimum and reduce operator need to frequently add parts to the system.

Air Operated Dual Chute

Air Operated Dual Chute is now available, which eliminates problems related to counting heavily treated seeds or machine parts having surface contamination.

Electrically operated units may be modified to add this feature where frequent cleaning to maintain proper operation is encountered.

Contact us for details.

LED Light Source

The lamp used in the Old Mill Seed Counter is no longer available. A modification is available that uses a long life LED light source providing similar performance to that obtained with previous lamp.

Embedded Software Updates

Counter model 900-2 now has a software update, that enables the unit to program up to 50 different groups, in previous versions it only had 10 groups.

Many other accessories are available for use with most models of the lot size counters to improve performance, adapt to special requirements, or to coordinate with systems such as automatic packaging machines.
