CONT

On gross-weight fillers, each fill station is fitted with a weighing device, typically a beam scale, which acts to shut off product flow when a predetermined weight has been reached. Each scale is set for the maximum weight of container and contents. Adjustment for other containers and content weight may be made by adding special weights to each filling platform. By using a load cell as the weighing device, the weight is electronically measured continuously, and liquid flow is stopped at a predetermined weight.

OBS

Applies to dry and liquid product filling machinery.
