Bi-directional frame scale for industrial weighing

Achieve precise product accumulation and streamlined batch processing with a bi-directional scale that improves throughput while maintaining quality control in diverse food and beverage applications.

Weighs, Accumulates, and Dumps Solids Efficiently

The C.A.T. Bi-Directional Frame Scale from Cooling & Applied Technologies is engineered to streamline weighing processes in diverse food processing environments. It features dual 250 lb. load cells and a stainless steel bi-directional weigh hopper, which facilitate accurate weighing and accumulation of solid products such as chicken wings and roasted almonds. The system’s design allows for seamless integration into existing production lines, catering to applications across poultry, meat, and bakery industries. This equipment automates material handling by accumulating products to a target weight and precisely dumping them, improving efficiency. An advanced air valve box and pressure regulator ensure optimal performance, while options for label printing enhance operational flexibility. Serviceability is prioritized with accessible components, and the scale supports full automation with PLC compatibility for remote operations. Durable stainless steel construction offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.

Benefits
