When producing batches of semi finished or finished product, the aim is to correctly mix the different ingredients and components. Amounts and proportions determine the quality of the product. A mobile scale helps you to produce cheaper, safer and more efficient. It also generates the information you need for quality control and tracking and tracing procedures.

Taking the scale to the ingredients
Before, raw materials for mixing processes were driven to and fro between warehouse and scale, or supplied via expensive and difficult to clean pipelines and circulation systems. Nowadays the scale is brought to the components: on a hand pallet truck scale the mixing vessel is driven from one ingredient to the next and components are dosed straight from their container. Not only does this render expensive pipelines obsolete, procedures also become faster and more flexible. The risk of damages and product loss is greatly reduced.

Recording the result of every mixing step
A mobile scale is not only a tool for realising product quality, it can also be the means for controlling and documenting that quality. The resulting weight of every mixing step can be recorded, by printing the weight on a ticket, or by registering the result on a computer via wireless transfer. Thus of every batch produced the production history is recorded. For tracking & tracing, for acquisition of new clients by proven quality, or to comply with industry standards and norms.
