CALLOL SERRATS – FOOD AND CONSERVATION
Installation of an automated production line
Giropes has installed an automatic production line managed via WIFI in Callol Serrats, an anchovy processing and preserving business.
Callol Serrats is a business with more than 170 years of craft tradition of processing L’Escala anchovies. The enduring dedication and long history of the family in the production of anchovies has allowed them to become the oldest business now active in the industry. The business is currently managed by the sixth generation of the family, thanks to the handing down of the age-old tradition of anchovy salting from generation to generation.
To continue to develop and refine traditional anchovy salting, without losing the distinctive essence that has marked it out for over 150 years, Callol Serrats has replaced its manual weighing and packaging line with an automated line that uses weighing systems designed and manufactured by Giropes.
The new line replaces a manual production line, optimising resources and facilitating the work of the company’s staff and brings greater accuracy and reliability in the canning process.
The production line has a total of 9 weighing units consisting of a GRP platform, a stainless steel column and a GI410i LCD indicator with IP65 protection, ideal for an environment with extreme humidity and salt water exposure like an anchovy processing plant.
This installation is notable for its use of WIFI to allow cable-free control and management via the GiScale PRO software.
The 9 weighing units are controlled and managed by the GiScale PRO software, designed and implemented by the Giropes Solutions engineering team.
GiScale PRO software allows the user to connect an almost unlimited number of indicators to the program and provides greater freedom to customise tickets and reports, record specific fields, create a semi-unattended weighing system and even to monitor and manage production lines.
Thanks to the weighing log kept by the Giropes software, Callol Serrats can readily prove the correct packaging of its product without having to keep a manual log of the weights for each unit produced.

Software designed and implemented by the Giropès Solutions division to obtain complete control of the weighing systems in production.
