Scale hopper for industrial batch weighing
Optimize your production line with precise batch weighing and mixing, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in handling solid, powder, and granule components.
Measures and Controls Weighing and Batching Processes
Scott Equipment’s Scale Hopper is a custom-engineered solution designed to enhance your weighing and batching processes. Mounted on load cells, it provides precise net weight determination and seamless integration with existing process control systems to report real-time volume data. Ideal for use in industries such as animal nutrition and food manufacturing, the Scale Hopper is specifically tailored for handling solid, powder, and granular materials. The stainless steel construction ensures durability and product traceability, while the 7-gauge construction and slide/drop gate facilitate complete cleanouts. Options for full integration with upstream mixers and PLC controls streamline production workflows, making it essential for any operation in high-demand processing environments.
