In food production and quality control, accurate results and minimum downtime are vital, including day-to-day weighing applications such as simple weighing, formulation, check weighing, and differential weighing. Furthermore, accurate weighing is a prerequisite for carrying out quality control procedures in line with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) principles. Quality control addresses food safety and quality through the analysis of raw food ingredients as well as intermediate and finished food products. The analysis of food composition, structure, physicochemical properties, and sensory attributes are common examples of food quality control analyses. For most of these analyses, accurate and reliable results are an essential component. In the typical quality control laboratory for food, multiple users work on the same balance and thus, operational flexibility and prevention of errors are essential.

How Can You Improve Your Food Weighing Workflows?
Quality Assurance
Quality assurance in the laboratory must uphold rigorous standards to guarantee the quality of the finished food and beverage products and thereby gain consumer confidence. Quality of food can be assured with thorough food testing. For tests involving weighing, this means using accurate weighing instruments, having consistent weighing workflows, and regular equipment calibration.
實驗室稱重應用
Statistical quality control (SQC) is the use of statistical tools to monitor and maintain product quality in food, pharmaceutical and manufacturing industries. Statistical quality control techniques such as fill control, check weighing and weight variation help ensure consumer safety and regulatory compliance.
Safety Compliance and Regulations
Food and beverage manufacturers must ensure the safety of their products for consumers. They must also ensure the equipment and procedures in their food testing laboratories meet the requirements of the latest regulations.
