Accurate weighing system for micro ingredients

Ensure precise micro-ingredient dosing for batch operations with this versatile weighing system, designed to optimize accuracy and speed while preventing cross-contamination in high-stakes production environments.

Precisely Weighs and Batches Micro Ingredients

The MicroScale Weighing System from CPM is engineered to precisely measure and batch micro ingredients for various industrial applications. This versatile system is available in three configurations: Rollover Hoppers, Funnel Hoppers, and Conical Hoppers, each designed to optimize accuracy, speed, and segregation in your processing line. With applications in animal feed, pet food, aquaculture, food industry, and biomass, the MicroScale efficiently handles powders and granules, ensuring consistent product quality. Capable of weighing up to 24 ingredients with precise resolution, this system is ideal for operations needing high-speed and batch processing. Integration friendly, it’s compatible with PLC systems for seamless automation, allowing for enhanced control and remote monitoring for increased operational efficiency. Optional features such as bin level sensors and dust collection hoods further support operational precision and cleanliness. Whether you’re producing compound animal feed, biodiesel, or brewer’s hops pellets, CPM’s MicroScale ensures your weighing process is efficient and tailored to your needs.
