Industrial Equipment Available from Teraoka
The total value of the global retail industry reached more than $25 trillion in 2019. Experts predict that the figure could exceed $27 trillion by the end of this year. Not all the businesses in this sector share the need for specialised industrial equipment, which tends to be more commonly associated with manufacturing. However, there are many situations where some form of machinery can be indispensable to a distributor, wholesaler or retailer.
For example, many foodstuffs like fresh meat, fish, vegetables and fruit are sold pre-packaged and require weighing to determine their price. Teraoka was established in 1984. We have been supplying businesses in South Africa and neighbouring countries with the means to weigh and label their products quickly and accurately for close to four decades. Teraoka’s innovative use of automation and technology ensures high-performance industrial equipment for weighing, dimensioning, labelling and inspection services. Our products consistently exceed expectations and guarantee end-user satisfaction.
Precision Weighing and Dimensioning Products
The DIGI SPK-1000 is the ideal machine for airports, warehouses, shops, distribution centres and couriers to measure and record the weight and dimensions of an item. The scale and sensing arm activate automatically when an object is placed on its platform. The SPK-3000 model can accept up to 3,500 items per hour from a conveyor, perfect for high volume users. Furthermore, it can handle both cuboid and non-cuboid packages. Like all industrial equipment supplied by Teraoka, their performance is exceptional. The DPS-560011 is a combined scale and printer ideal for retailers who need to weigh and label pre-packaged goods simultaneously.
Labels and Print Requirements
Most stores now depend heavily on barcodes for stock control and simplifying payments at the checkout counters. Thermal transfer printing is recognised as the best way to print high-definition barcode labels and till slips that will remain legible for as long as necessary. Teraoka industrial equipment includes a range of superior wax and resin-based thermal transfer ribbons of various sizes and compatible Honeywell printers to support these needs. In addition, we undertake to print heavy-duty labels to the client’s unique specifications.
Quality Inspection Systems
Quality control is an essential feature of most industries and can be crucial to food producers. The risk of contaminants in foodstuffs is everpresent and, despite stringent precautions, can still occur. Though highly effective in many situations, metal detectors are limited. X-ray technology is necessary to eliminate the presence of non-metallic materials like bone, plastic and glass. Both types of industrial inspection equipment are available from Teraoka.
