A weighing and feeding system is the heart of any process that demands recipe accuracy and consistency. These systems use high-precision load cells and intelligent controls to automatically deliver an exact weight of material. We engineer both Gain-in-Weight systems for creating multi-ingredient batches and Loss-in-Weight systems for highly accurate continuous feeding.

Product giveaway due to overfilling is a direct loss of profit. Inconsistent batches lead to quality failures. Our gravimetric systems solve both problems. For batch production, a Gain-in-Weight system uses a central weigh hopper fed by multiple ingredient feeders, creating a perfect recipe every time. For continuous processes like extrusion or coating, a Loss-in-Weight feeder provides a smooth, highly accurate mass flow of material, ensuring your final product is perfectly uniform. We integrate the right feeding technology (screw, vibratory) with the right weighing technology to build a reliable, accurate, and cost-saving solution.

FAQ -

Q1: What is the main difference between Gain-in-Weight (GIW) and Loss-in-Weight (LIW) systems?
A1: In a GIW system, the receiving vessel is on a scale, and it measures the weight gained as ingredients are added. It's excellent for creating batches from multiple ingredients. In an LIW system, the source hopper/feeder is on a scale, and it measures the weight lost as it feeds. It's more complex but provides superior accuracy and is the standard for continuous feeding at a set rate.
Q2: How accurate are these systems?
A2: Accuracy depends on the technology and the application. A well-designed Gain-in-Weight batching system can typically achieve an accuracy of ±0.5% of the full scale capacity. A high-performance Loss-in-Weight feeder can achieve accuracies of ±0.25% or even better of the set feed rate, which is why they are used for critical, low-dose additives.
Q3: How do you handle vibrations from the plant floor that could interfere with the scales?
A3: This is a critical design consideration. We use several techniques: mounting the weighing system on an independent, rigid frame; using vibration-damping pads; and most importantly, using advanced digital filtering in the weighing controller's software to intelligently ignore the "noise" from plant vibrations while still accurately measuring the change in material weight.
Q4: Can these systems handle powders that don't flow well?
A4: Yes. The weighing part is separate from the feeding part. We select the appropriate feeding mechanism for your powder. For non-free-flowing or cohesive powders, this often means using a screw feeder with a special agitator in the hopper to ensure a consistent flow of material to be weighed.
Q5: What is a multihead weigher, and how is it different from these systems?
A5: A multihead weigher is a specialized type of Gain-in-Weight system used almost exclusively for packaging discrete items (like chips, candy, or nuts). It uses a combination of many small weigh buckets to create a perfect target weight. The systems we are describing here are typically used for in-process batching or continuous feeding of bulk powders and granules.
