Bulk bag weighing system for batching operations

Streamline your batching process by accurately weighing minor ingredients directly from bulk storage bags, reducing manual handling and increasing efficiency.

Weighs and Batches Minor Ingredients Accurately

The Bulk Bag MinorScale from CPM is an essential weighing system designed to streamline batching processes across various industries including animal feed, oilseed processing, and biomass production. This system stands out with its dual configurations—traditional and linear—that ensure precise ingredient measurement, crucial for maintaining product quality in complex batch operations. With a handling capability of 2 to 6 bulk bags and a refined scale display resolution from 0.1 to 0.5 pounds, it offers adaptability for diverse operational conditions. Optimized for environments requiring meticulous control over batch ingredients, it eliminates the ergonomic challenge of manual handling of heavy bags, enhancing both safety and efficiency. Integrated features like remote speed control, dust collection hoods, and optional bin vibrators further contribute to its seamless integration into existing production lines. Its robust construction supports a range of operations, from batch to continuous high-speed processing, demonstrating both reliability and flexibility.
