Scale Technologies

The scale technology used is often an overlooked component within a compounding system. You generally get whatever the manufacturer offers.

The question is: Which technology is the correct choice for your application?

Strain Guage
LVDT
Liquid Dampening
Force Restoration
1-Point Platform
3-Point
4-Point
Weigh Hopper
Auto Scale Calibration

What is most critical to your application?
* Accuracy
* Durability
* Speed/Response
* Output Type
* Non-Proprietary

Your answer to this question will significantly help in meeting your goals.

• Analog output
• 100% over loading
• Inexpensive
• Non-Proprietary
• Resolution- 5,000 to 60,000
counts
• Can be serviced locally

Strain Guage

Mass Counterbalanced

• Mass counterbalanced. Allows
for the use of a load cell rated
for the product only.
• Liquid dampening for very
quick settle and response
times.
• Used in micro batching and
packaging applications
• 200% over loading

Force Restoration

• Magnetic measurement
technology to measure changes in
weight by generated current
• Excellent Resolution – to 0.1 gram
•Digital output
•0% overloading. Non-shock
resistant
•Used in micro/ lab applications

• Outputs a digital signal from scale
