CombiScale Adds Piece Count Feature to PrimoWeigher

With new feature, combination scales now allow packaging based on quantity instead of weight.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – CombiScale has added a piece count feature to its PrimoWeigher combination scales that allow packaging based on quantity instead of weight, the company announced.

Using the base weight of the individual product and accounting for tolerances set by the manufacturer, PrimoWeigher looks for combinations of buckets that achieve a desired weight and is able to calculate a precise count of the product, CombiScale said.
 
Product mixing software provides manufacturers with the ability to piece count two different products into a single package – for example, a 16-head scale can be configured to run one product on 8-heads and a second product on the other 8-heads can then be combined into a single package, the company said.
 
PrimoWeigher combination scales are available in 10, 14, 16, 20, and 24-head configurations, with 1.5, 2.5 and 5 liter bucket sizes operating up to 200 cycles per minute.
