Batching processes are traditionally controlled by Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). However, when high flexibility is required and a human interface is important, a weighing terminal with batch control logic is the more cost effective solution. The new IND780batch is designed to fully control a gravimetric batching process and for such applications may replace a small PLC based system.

Balances with one microgram resolution are a standard in laboratories. However, these are entire systems that need optimized placement and care. Therefore, weigh modules that maintain true microgram resolution in industry, even if integrated into machines, are novel and allow for new applications.

Heavy industrial weighing systems incorporated into tanks, hoppers, conveyors, and other industrial equipment, require highly durable hardware. A new generation of weigh modules raises the standards for reliability and performance in these applications. Eliminating troublesome junction boxes is just one advantage these modules provide.

Lying 145 kilometers north of the arctic circle, Kiruna is the northernmost town in Sweden. It is a highly challenging environment, and home to a huge industrial iron ore mining operation. The mining company relies on high-performance weighing equipment to be up to the task.

Your vehicle scale is only as good as its load cells. If you have experienced increased maintenance costs and unplanned downtime with an existing scale, consider upgrading your load cells. By upgrading, your scale becomes more accurate and reliable than it’s ever been.

Manual checkweighing is a common repetitive task in the food industry. Standard bench scale solutions require constant high attention which leads to increased errors and to early tiring of the operator’s eyes. Performing with ergonomically designed checkweighers not only enhances operator’s health and satisfaction, it also speeds up production and reduces cost.

Food manufacturers are under pressure to produce more in a shorter amount of time. Tracking and tracing takes on central roles when it comes to improved performance and increased yield. The computerized tracking system, FormWeigh.Net not only improves quality and maximizes resource exploitation, it also reduces waste and increases yield.

With many design options including installed, liftable, flip-top or portable solutions, hygienically designed floor scales offer a broad range of capabilities. The selection of the appropriate floor scale saves time, enhances food safety and increases production performance.

Manufacturers of pressure and temperature measuring devices demand high-quality components. Suppliers have to pick, store, and accurately inventory thousands of items in a timely manner. A new high performance counting system not only ensures this, it also offers a simplified counting process, inventory management and online documentation.

Multiphase pipeline flow often occurs under extreme temperature and pressure conditions making offline sampling and analysis difficult or impossible. Offline samples are often manipulated through dilution or dispersion which alters or destroys multiphase components. Offline measurements cannot be applied to make real-time process optimization and control decisions.

The Brazilian company TheraSkin has adopted the Good Weighing Practice (GWP®) guideline for their weighing instruments. As a result, they significantly minimized maintenance and calibration service costs. Furthermore, the entire plant’s routine testing efforts of balances and scales were greatly reduced while equipment productivity has been increased.

Race car drivers aren’t the only ones who focus on speed. To be productive and guarantee high quality products, your operation needs to be both fast and precise — like mechanics in a pit stop. Discover smart weighing applications used in manufacturing automotive parts and increase your production performance.

Pharmatis, specialized in the contract manufacturing of liquids and ointments, decided to automate its central weighing processes and ensure IT security for formulation. They upgraded their weighing system by using FormWeigh.net® software and hardware. "We have achieved greater pharmaceutical safety and productivity since implementing the FormWeigh.Net,” declares Mr. Piha, the site's production department manager.

Scales are used to determine the weight of an aircraft. But that is not all. Bertrand Piccard's solar-powered aircraft and a 270-ton Airbus have something in common: they both need scales to achieve stable, balanced flight.

In the formulation of motor oil, several additives are added to the base oil using a laboratory balance. Each has a specific function and the correct blending is essential to ensure a high quality product. Excellence Balances offer high weighing performance and fast results to meet the needs of the formulation process and the subsequent analyses.

Weighing performance has a great impact in forensic labs. The performance of the balances, and especially the minimum weight, influence compliance with standards and can have adverse results on lawsuits. We have therefore developed Good Weighing Practice, a recommendation guideline to guarantee accurate weighing results.

Every researcher relies on accurate and reproducible results to publish research results in renowned journals. Pipette accuracy checks reduce errors, but they are also time-consuming and resource intensive. Choosing a balance that can easily be converted for quick pipette accuracy checks helps to assure the reproducibility of results.

Typically 99% of prepared stock solutions are disposed of without being used. With Quantos QLB automated liquid dispensing modules for XP balances it is now possible to prepare sample solutions in any target container gravimetrically. Sample sizes can be scaled down by up to 90%, reducing solvent usage and waste, and volumetric flasks are no longer required.

Weighing performance and reliable results are as precious as gold in metal refineries. We offer a range of high precision instruments to ensure that the gold and silver content is checked and controlled with the highest possible accuracy throughout the entire refinery process. Read more about our solutions to monitor the gold and silver refining process.

Operators at grain receiving sites must work quickly to keep operating costs low. However, they must also accurately grade grain to ensure quality for international food supplies. Durable and high-performance balances help grain operators meet the demand for accuracy plus speed – Benefitting not only the buyers, but also the farmers, paid on crop quality basis.
