AccuSizer™ Belt Grader / Classifier Systems

Making the grade in precision and productivity ...
AccuSizer™ Belt Grader / Classifier Systems
u Harnessing the power of technology to
optimize yields, throughput and accuracy.
u Productivity
and precision in a “class” all its own.
For poultry processors to succeed, they
must continually improve their productivity
while keeping the incidence of overweight
packing and product “giveaway” to a
minimum.
AccuSizer™ belt grader/classifier systems
from Gainco help processors do just that,
featuring an ingenious combination of
user-friendly interfaces, advanced weighing
technology and robust, rugged platforms.
Our AccuSizer™ classifier systems use
the latest load cell technology to provide
the highest levels of weight accuracy and
speed available in the industry today. They
feature sizing speeds up to 180 portions
per minute, with tolerances up to +/- 1.5
grams 95% of the time, depending on
product size, spacing and stability.
Combining this degree of speed and
accuracy with the user-friendly operating
characteristics of the equipment results in
a healthier portion of profit showing up on
your bottom line.

u The
Power of Information
Intelligent as well as well-performing, our
equipment gives you the information you
need to manage your classifier operations
with skill and ease:
• Touchscreen interface with graphical
displays are easy to understand and
navigate.
• You have the power to control each bin
by individual piece weight range, count
and batch size.
• You have instant ability to change
weight and distribution parameters, or
batch management information.
AccuSizer™ belt grader systems can also be
linked to a computer using our proprietary
System features include the
latest web-based integrated
B&R control and monitoring
capabilites, along with IP69Krated enclosures for the ultimate
in washdown protection,
ensuring reliable operation.
data management software, which provides
operators and management a continuous
stream of real-time data. Standard or
custom reports can be generated with data
from multiple systems.
Proprietary Data
Management Software
• Data is collected for single and
multiple systems, simplifying
reporting and the creation of
summary reports.
• Only one operator is needed to
control and monitor activity for
several lines – from anywhere.
• Real-time management,
monitoring and reporting is
available through local access or
wide access networking, which
improves control, oversight and
coordination.
u Design
details make the difference.
It’s the little design details that make
AccuSizer™ belt grader/classifier systems
run so accurately and perform so well:
• A state-of-the-art B&R® integrated
machine control package is user-friendly,
flexible, and designed to last.
• The B&R control processor allows for
the highest levels of diagnostics and
equipment operation available. An
optional web based reporting package
enables remote access to system data.
• Rugged load cells are completely sealed in
a welded stainless steel housing specially
designed to withstand the harsh rigors
of poultry processing operations. They
deliver advanced speed, precision and
data communication capabilities.
• Immunity from EMI interference enables
load cells to eliminate any weighing
inconsistencies coming from plant
electrical noise. All relevant data from
the load cell is transmitted directly to
the B&R control processor for rapid
analysis and selection criteria.
• Accurate counting is assured via the
use of laser technology for faster
product detection prior to weighing
– thus preventing “false weighs” from
occurring.
• An auto-tare feature ensures weighing
accuracy by continuously updating the
weigh belt tare weight to compensate
for scrap buildup on the belt links.
• Special proprietary “auto-zero” software
fine-tunes weighing accuracy by
automatically compensating for load
cell drift, as well as any scrap buildup
on the weigh deck.
Diverse poultry applications for
AccuSizer™ belt grader/classifier
systems include:
• Whole birds and front halves
• Boneless breasts – butterflies
and filets
• Tenders
• Wings
• Leg quarters and whole legs
• Thighs
• Whole turkeys
• Turkey lobes
• Turkey tenders
• Turkey drums
Load cell and welded stainless steel housing.
The unique curved design of pull-off arms helps
them gently redirect items, thereby reducing the
incidence of product damage to near-zero.
Equipment Options
• Bin types
• Chute
• Manual batching
• Automatic batching
Redesigned bins on AccuSizer™ belt graders utilize captive hinges for complete access to the belt frame,
improving sanitation and making set-up and pre-op inspections a breeze.
• Bagging
• Packout
Equipment Design and Diversity
In the poultry processing industry, “one
size” doesn’t fit all. That’s why we’ve
incorporated the maximum degree of
flexibility into the basic design of our
AccuSizer™ belt sizer units:

and built in the United States using
standardized, readily available, easilyreplaceable components
• Multiple bin configurations available
to tailor your bin design for the precise
needs of your processing line
• A customizable outfeed design that
allows the system to match your
particular plant configurations
• Dual-lane configurations available for
high-volume applications
• InterSystems® control package to treat
multiple classifier lines as one line
• Center bin

u Built
tough for tough environments.
AccuSizer™ belt grader/classifier systems
are engineered to take all the shocks and
hard knocks of daily operations in poultry
processing plants – at the same time
providing complete protection during highpressure chemical washdowns.
Just look at all the ways Gainco has
engineered more functionality, durability
and longevity into every AccuSizer™ belt
grader unit:
• IP69K-rated touchscreen controller
designed to withstand the harshest
production and sanitation environments.
• The hygienic open-frame design in
the food contact area improves the
effectiveness of washdown procedures
while preventing water from pooling
and bacteria from collecting.
• Infeed, weighing and outfeed units
are also designed for easy access for
cleaning and maintenance checks.
• Newly redesigned pivoting outfeed
chutes improve cleanability and
servicing.
• All electronics are housed in a highly
protective IP69K-rated enclosure, while
also being easily accessible.
• Optional internet or dial-up connections
allow for remote servicing of the belt
sizer unit while in operation.
