Adam (United Kingdom) - Press Release: Adam Follows Company Rebrand with Launch of First-Ever Dynamic Inline Checkweigher

Adam Equipment, which rebranded last month and is now known simply as ‘Adam,’ has launched its first-ever dynamic inline checkweigher.

The manufacturer, which was founded in the UK in 1972, had previously only manufactured and sold static weighing equipment. The new product announcement will be the “first of many surprises” from the company, according to its CEO, Colin Maher.

The checkweigher range, named Sentinel and boasting compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) as well as 21 CFR Part 11, will have many bespoke aspects, making it suitable for many applications within the pharmaceutical and food production industries.

“We’re launching Sentinel as the first new product as part of the new chapter of Adam,” said Maher. “It’s a product category Adam has never been part of before.”

Sentinel will feature a tilting 15.6” touch-screen, 400gb of internal data storage, intelligent filtering and a weighing range of 5-600g with up to 400ppm depending on packaging size. Intelligent filtering technology will monitor machine vibration and continuously adapt through AI model-based learning to ensure ultimate accuracy, even in tough conditions. Patented non-contact taut band technology combined with a low-friction aluminium conveyor and precision-controlled stepper motor will further aid weighing accuracy. 

Maher claims that the move into inline checkweighing is a strategic one that will benefit both Adam, its worldwide dealership network, and customers.

“Adam has become known for its superb customer service. It’s why so many customers come back to the brand. Now, our dealer network can offer something different to the end user.

“The crucial thing about Sentinel is its price point. Many businesses are put off inline checkweighing equipment because of the cost. We’re making sure we are comfortably below the main players in inline checkweighing, making it a more accessible option for more businesses. That means they can save time, costs and labour, and it gives them an easier way to scale up their production without the massive outlay of a typical dynamic inline checkweigher system.”

While specifications and final pricing has yet to be announced, Adam is welcoming expressions of interest, both from its dealership network and from businesses needing a dynamic inline checkweigher.

“There is a lot of work that has gone into Sentinel and as industry continues to increase its automation of weighing throughout production, from the outset it was our goal to develop a product with outstanding performance but without the premium price tag,” said Maher.
