Filling by weight has many advantages compared to volumetric filling with flowmeters or other devices, including accuracy, ease of calibration, and facilitation of statistical process control and traceability. A huge variety of materials are filled with a corresponding variety of fillers used; weighing is the one universal technology that can be used regardless of the material or container characteristics.

Weighing is the most accurate and reliable measuring method for filling, formulation, dosing, and batching processes, whether you are working with liquids, solids, or gas. It is also a highly sanitary and hygienic method that eliminates contact with stored substances, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and enhancing operator safety. Our free guide covers all the significant advantages in detail, particularly in highly regulated industries like pharmaceutical, food, and chemical production.
