Cook Inov, a French family-owned enterprise, specializes in designing and manufacturing canned gourmet, organic, and dietetic products. Its offerings cater to food brands across baby food, health/diet/sport nutrition, and culinary dishes. Founded in 1997, the company collaborates closely with clients to develop recipes and tailor-made products, available in diverse packaging like pouches, glass jars, and plastic bowls. Committed to innovation and quality, Cook Inov holds multiple certifications and meets strict baby food standards, ensuring its products comply with rigorous food safety regulations.
Cook Inov’s Critical Challenges
Cook Inov previously relied on an aging checkweigher that was nearing the end of its service life. This outdated equipment failed to keep up with the company’s high standards for innovation, quality, and safety, leading to frequent production downtimes. Two key pain points emerged:
The old machine was incompatible with the busy, humid operating environment, disrupting continuous production.
It could not withstand frequent high-pressure washdowns – a must for maintaining hygiene in food processing.
The Turning Point: Choosing Fanchi-tech’s FA-CW Series
To address these issues, Cook Inov sought a checkweigher that could ensure reliable production with zero downtime, ultimately boosting Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). The ideal solution needed to meet:
IP69 rating: To endure harsh washdowns and humid conditions, ensuring long-term durability.
Easy cleaning design: No hidden gaps to avoid debris accumulation, supporting strict hygiene requirements.
Compliance features: A lockable reject bin for non-conforming products (to eliminate double handling) and weight regulation adherence.
Safety & accessibility: Removable top panels for belt inspection/cleaning without compromising operator safety.
Impressed by Shanghai Fanchi-tech Machinery Co., Ltd’s reputation for product reliability and excellent service, Cook Inov partnered with the company to deploy the FA-CW Series Checkweigher – a solution tailored to its exacting needs.
Fanchi-tech FA-CW Series: The Customized Solution
The FA-CW Series Checkweigher, developed by Shanghai Fanchi-tech, is engineered specifically for harsh food processing environments. It directly addresses Cook Inov’s challenges with industry-leading features:
IP69 Ingress Protection: Tested to withstand high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns, making it ideal for humid, hygiene-critical settings (e.g., baby food production).
Hygienic Design: A smooth, gap-free frame minimizes contaminant traps, enabling fast, thorough deep cleaning and reducing bacterial growth risks.
Zero Downtime After Cleaning: No drying time is required post-washdown. The machine can restart immediately, significantly improving OEE.
Compliance & Safety:
Automatic Mean Weight Correction: Ensures strict adherence to global weight legislation, avoiding compliance risks.
Lockable Reject Bin: Equipped with an air-blast reject system, it safely removes non-conforming products, maintaining quality and reducing handling time.
Removable Top Panels: Allow easy access to the conveyor belt for cleaning/inspection, paired with optional safety light curtains to protect operators.
User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive controls make operation simple for staff, reducing training time and human error.
Cook Inov’s Feedback: A Game-Changer for Production
Mr. Frédéric Bolzinger, Maintenance Manager at Cook Inov, shared his positive experience with the FA-CW Series:“As an innovative company, we needed a checkweigher that aligned with our ethos – replacing our outdated system that no longer served our needs. We chose Fanchi-tech for its proven product quality and reliable service, and the FA-CW Series has exceeded our expectations.“Since installing the FA-CW Checkweigher, our production efficiency has increased markedly. It’s not just reliable; it’s also incredibly easy to use and maintain.
