1. Introduction to Weighing Equipment
Weighing equipment refers to instruments used for measuring the weight of goods in industrial production, commercial trade, and specialized sectors. With diverse applications and structures, weighing equipment is classified into several categories based on structure, purpose, function, and accuracy.
2. Classification by Structure
-
Mechanical Scale
Operates on the principle of leverage, fully mechanical, requiring no electricity. It consists of levers, supports, connectors, and weighing heads. -
Electromechanical Scale
A hybrid between mechanical and electronic scales, featuring electronic enhancements for improved functionality. -
Electronic Scale
Uses a load cell to convert pressure into an electronic signal, enabling precise digital weight readings.
3. Classification by Purpose
-
Industrial Weighing Equipment: Includes belt scales and batching systems for heavy-duty production lines.
-
Commercial Weighing Equipment: Platform scales, pricing scales, and counting scales for retail and wholesale trade.
-
Specialized Weighing Equipment: Designed for unique industry-specific requirements.
4. Classification by Function
-
Counting Scales: Count items based on weight.
-
Pricing Scales: Calculate product price by weight.
-
Weighing Scales: Provide precise weight measurements only.
5. Classification by Accuracy
Weighing equipment is categorized into four accuracy levels:
-
Level I: Ultra-high precision
-
Level II: High precision
-
Level III: Medium precision
-
Level IV: General weighing applications
6. Technological Development in Weighing Equipment
With advancements in weighing technology, equipment now offers higher precision, faster speeds, and intelligent automation. Modern solutions like computer combination weighers, batching scales, packaging scales, belt scales, and check weighers can be customized to meet specific production needs.
For example:
-
Batching Scale: Accurately proportion multiple materials.
-
Packaging Scale: Quantitatively pack bulk products.
-
Belt Scale: Weigh products while they move along a conveyor.
-
Combination Weigher: Weigh and count a variety of products with exceptional accuracy.
