How is the manual weighing of products done

Manual weighing of products is performed by operators using conventional scales. Although it is a common practice in many industries, this method is subject to inaccuracies and flaws, which result in:

• Variations in packaging handling
• Operator fatigue
• Human errors
• Irregular packages

This inaccuracy can result in problems such as raw material waste, inefficiency in production, customer dissatisfaction due to incorrect packaging, and problems with regulatory agencies.

How automatic weighing of products is done

On the other hand, automatic weighing of products offers numerous advantages.

The fillers do the fractionation of the product and are designed to perform measurements with high precision and consistency.

Equipped with advanced technology such as load cells and sensitive sensors, these systems ensure:

• Accurate real-time weighing
• Reduction of human intervention
• Reduction of the occurrence of errors
• Process standardization

And it is not only in precision that it has advantages. It also significantly increases the speed of production, since weighing is carried out quickly and efficiently.

Automatic weighing also reduces the risks associated with safety and hygiene by eliminating manual handling of products and decreasing operators’ exposure to hazardous substances or contaminants.

In addition to the fillers that do the processing, the automatic weighing also includes accessories such as checkweighers, which check the weight of the package and eliminate from the conveyor belt the packages that present inconsistency.

This type of complement is an additional guarantee that the packaging process is accurate and efficient.

With all these differentials, it is evident that automatic weighing vastly outperforms manual weighing in terms of accuracy, error reduction, speed and safety, and means another step in industry standardization.
