National Weighing and Instruments Portion Scale

The National Weighing and Instruments Portion Scale is designed for food manufacturers who apply ingredients to mass-produced food. The scale controls and regulates the amount of ingredient applied to each serve.

The 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 of the portion or ingredient.

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.
