The National Weighing and Instruments takeaway scale is designed for food manufactures that apply ingredients to mass-produced takeaway foods such as sandwiches, pizzas and wraps and would like to regulate the amount of ingredient applied to each serve. Operators currently measure ingredient quantity by hand, which is highly variable.

The takeaway scale operation is quite simple: users place the bulk container with the ingredient on the scale and select the quantity and tolerance of ingredient to be dispensed. As the production line moves along, the operator extracts the ingredient from the bulk container.

Colour coding simplifies the task for the operator — yellow is light, green is okay and red indicates overfill. Once the right ingredient amount is taken from the bulk container, the display automatically resets itself for the next extraction.

The scale has a database to set up different products, batches and users, and can provide totals of product used by users and batches. This enables the scale to be used in more than one location in a production plant. It also has a checkweighing function to ensure that the final packed goods comply with regulations.

The scale has NMI trade approval.
