Measuring is the first and foremost thing in any industry. To get the desired results measurements play a pivotal role. Any raw material or finished product can be measured with different balances and checkweighers.
Weighing balance is the device which can be found at various places or the premises such
as labs, commercial kitchens, industrial places and pharmacies. Basically, it
is an instrument which is used to determine the weight or mass of an object.
They are available in a wide range of sizes with multiple weighing capacities.
There are two types
of weighing balances. They are: a) Precision balances and b) Analytical
balances. Analytical balances have higher readability, measuring to the nearest 0.0001g and thus it the most precise balance. On
the other hand, Precision balance typically measures to the nearest 0.1-0.01g
but has higher capacity. The capacity they can measure is from hundreds of
grams to kilograms. Weighing balance
uses a force restoration mechanism. When a force is applied, the balance
counteracts this force which is exerted from the unknown mass. Balances are
usually used by professionals for advanced scientific weighing in various
industries such as:
- · Educational
- · Pharmaceutical
- · Chemical
- · Food and beverage
- · industrial
These balances are
highly précised and advanced, and are used in laboratories in order to perform
tasksefficiently such as weighing test materials, and sampling amounts, purity
analysis, quality control testing and material and conformance testing. Higher
capacity balances are useful both in laboratories and construction sites to
test high capacity weighing materials.
Similarly Checkweighers is a type of weighing
instrument that is used for checking product weight, completeness and other
applications. They are mainly used in food or pharmaceutical industry.
There are two types
of Checkweighers, they are a)
dynamic checkweighers and b) static checkweighers. Static scales are floor
scales on which the product is kept manually and then the scale determines the
period of time when it reaches weight estimation. Dynamic Checkweighers are
those that do not required to be handled by humans and they are operated
automatically. It checks the weight of every product one by one and removes an under
filled product so that right product may be derived at the end.
These Checkweighers are highly précised and are used in compliance with the pre-packaging regulation, completeness check, quality control, classification, and optimisation of the filling and dosing processes.
