Types of Weighing Equipment and the Role of Kenwei Intelligent Combination Weighers in Modern Manufacturing

Friday, 12/10/2021

Weighing equipment plays a crucial role in industrial, commercial, and specialized applications, offering precise measurements for a variety of industries. This article covers different types of weighing equipment and how Kenwei intelligent combination weighers are transforming high-speed, high-accuracy packaging.

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

  1. Mechanical Scale
    Operates on the principle of leverage, fully mechanical, requiring no electricity. It consists of levers, supports, connectors, and weighing heads.

  2. Electromechanical Scale
    A hybrid between mechanical and electronic scales, featuring electronic enhancements for improved functionality.

  3. 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.


7. Kenwei Intelligent Combination Weighers: A Game-Changer

Previously, many domestic food manufacturers avoided combination weighers due to the high cost of imported models. However, Kenwei Intelligent Combination Weighers have made this advanced technology accessible and affordable.

Kenwei’s solutions help manufacturers replace outdated manual or cup-based weighing methods with fully automated, high-speed systems. This shift improves efficiency, reduces labor costs, and enhances product consistency.
