LCS Sizer Controller – Series 3+
The TASC LCS is a sophisticated control unit for fruit sizers in your packhouse. It may be integrated with a new sizing system or when upgrading the electronics on an existing system. It is proving to be a successful, popular choice with many packhouse managers for retrofitting to sizers. The TASC SCS has been used to upgrade sizers from various manufacturers including Treeways, KW, MacDonalds, PSF, Maki, FMC, FGE, GP, Compac, and Lynx.
The LCS is available in either an all-in-one format or as a series of modules depending on customers needs. As an all-in-one unit it provides all of the functionality needed to control sophisticated sizers but with the advantage of a very compact reliable unit that is easily serviced if required. As an all-in-one the LCS can control up to 4 lanes x 24 drops, or 2 lanes x 48 drops. Up to 4 banks of labellers can also be controlled.
