A surprising number of criteria have to be considered to determine the right weighing equipment for manual or automated filling machines. A new step-by-step guide helps engineers to make the best choice for their application.

Manual and automatic filling machines typically are customized to comply with requirements resulting from particular material and container characteristics and environmental conditions, such as an explosive atmosphere, humidity or dust.
Connectivity to enterprise resource planning or a particular PLC machine control system requires different network technologies for each application. Hygienic design, hazardous environment and legal-for-trade approvals are often country-specific. That criteria and others make it time consuming and difficult to evaluate weighing equipment.
METTLER TOLEDO offers a comprehensive range of bench and floor scales and weigh modules customized for filling machines. They can weigh capacities from a few 100 grams up to 3,000 kilograms with all common approvals.
A new selection guide dedicated to weighing equipment for filling machines is available. It speeds up the evaluation process and helps to avoid rework because of missing approvals or poor weighing performance.
