Checkweighing scales are often used in closed-process food production and are in constant contact with the end-product. With the rapid rise of more stringent regulations in these processes, it is important to make sure your check-weighing scales are approved. New standards such as Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), and GMP require scales be cleaned completely so there is no chance of residual contaminations remaining afterwards. New design innovations and production processes in scale manufacturing will allow scales to conform to these standards for many years to come.

Weighty issuesWhen seeking the right stainless checkweighing scale for a weighing application, it's important to consider the following key points: What capacity to readability ration is required? "Low-resolution versus high-resolution" What type of stainless steel is required? "How harsh is the environment?" What production standards must one comply with? "HACCP, FDA, GMP, etc" What options are required? "Communication with a computer or printer, built-in checkweighing lights, product memory, etc." Finding the right scale for a specific application can sometimes go beyond these points and require consultation with a specialist in weighing. Before investing in a scale that might not fully accommodate your needs call your local weighing specialist for more information. |
