Intelligent weighing equipment – a tool to improve production efficiency

Weighing equipment is a weighing instrument used for industrial weighing or trade weighing. Due to the wide range of applications and different structures, there are various types of weighing equipment. According to different classification criteria, weighing equipment can be divided into various types.

Classification by structure:

1. mechanical scales: mechanical scales mainly use leverage.it principle is completely mechanical, requiring manual assistance, but does not require electricity and other energy, mechanical scales are mainly composed of levers, support pieces, connectors, weighing head, etc.

2. electromechanical scale: electromechanical scale is a scale between the mechanical scale and the electronic scale. It is an electronic conversion on the basis of mechanical scales.

3. electronic scale: electronic scale can weigh because it uses a load cell. The load cell converts a signal, such as the pressure of the object to be measured, to obtain its weight.

Classification by purpose:

According to the purpose of weighing equipment can be divided into industrial weighing equipment, commercial weighing equipment, special weighing equipment. For example, industrial belt scales and commercial platform scales.

Classification by function:

Weighing equipment is used for weighing, but different information can be obtained depending on the weight of the object being weighed. Therefore, weighing equipment can be divided into counting scales, price scales and weighing scales according to different functions.

Classification by accuracy:

Weighing equipment uses different principles, structures and components, and therefore has different accuracies. Nowadays, weighing equipment is roughly divided into four categories according to accuracy, Class I, Class II, Class III and Class IV.

With the continuous development of weighing technology, weighing equipment is moving in the direction of intelligence, higher accuracy and higher speed. Among them, computerized combination scales, batching scales, packaging scales, belt scales, checkweighers, etc., can not only meet the high precision and high speed weighing of various products, but also can be customized according to the specific needs of customers. For example, a batching scale is a measurement device used for quantitative proportioning of various materials for customers: a packaging scale is a measurement device used for quantitative packaging of batch materials, and a belt scale is a product that depends on the material on the conveyor for measurement. Computerized combination scales can not only weigh various materials, but also count and measure various materials, it has a wide range of applications and has become a powerful tool for many manufacturing companies to improve production efficiency and enhance economic benefits.

Domestic use of combination scales for quantitative weighing of food enterprises is not much. One is that some domestic food factories do not know the combination scale. Another is mainly limited by the high price of imported combination scales, unable to experience the world’s most advanced weighing equipment to bring high efficiency. More domestic enterprises pursuing high-speed, high-efficiency development will be able to use intelligent combination scales, eliminating the backward method of containing cups or full manual quantitative weighing and packaging, and arming themselves with high-tech, more automated combination weighing and packaging systems, thus setting off an improved and better production environment, improve the degree of automation in production and management, reduce costs, create a new revolution in civilized production, and continue to improve for enterprises economic benefits.

Intelligent weighing system can be widely used in food manufacturing, pharmaceutical industry, refined tea processing, seed industry and other industries. Meanwhile, it has also been expanded to a greater extent in the fields of Chinese herbal medicine, feed, chemical industry, hardware, etc.
