Hopper scale for precision batching
Achieve high batch accuracy with a central weighing hopper engineered for seamless integration into complex production environments, ensuring reliable and precise multi-ingredient batching.
Automates Multi-Ingredient Batching and Weighing
The Hopper Scale from SPS Solids Process Solutions is designed for precision batching to accommodate a range of industries including aquafeed, chemical, and dairy production. Utilizing a central weighing hopper with both volumetric and gravimetric feeding, it ensures high batch accuracy through its Automatic Rate Turndown (A.R.T.) mode. The scale automatically halts feeding upon reaching the target weight, optimizing efficiency in batching operations. Ideal for handling solids, powders, and granules, it integrates seamlessly into existing production lines. Engineered to enhance productivity, it offers customization options to fit specific production needs and complies with industry standards for reliable performance.
