Check Weighing

Check weighing can be used for a wide variety of applications including verifying package contents, checking product tolerances, identifying parts, classifying product and checking for overload safety.

Filling

Whether you are working with solids, liquids or gases, weighing provides accurate and repeatable results. Filling consists of putting material on or into the scale as a gain-in-weight process. The container receiving the material ranges from small cans, bottles or bags to silos, trucks, railroad cars or ships.

Dispensing

Whether you are working with solids, liquids or gases, weighing provides accurate and repeatable results. Dispensing consists of taking material off or out of the scale as a loss-of-weight process. The dispensing of Intermediate Bulk Containers is also associated with loss-of-weight systems. The container receiving or providing the material ranges from small cans, bottles or bags to silos, trucks, railroad cars or ships.

Level Control

Using Weight to Measure Level Measuring Level or Inventory by weight is the most accurate technology. The weight is not affected by ingredients that foam or settle unevenly, by changes in density or the shape of the tank. Weight is weight, regardless of percent solids, bridging, rat holing, or whether your ingredient is conductive or sound absorbing. Because weighing is a non-contact method of measuring level, there is no chance of contamination. You...

Loss-In-Weight Rate Control

Rate by weight is the measurement of an amount of a material which enters into or is dispensed from a vessel over a given period of time. Solids, liquids, or gases can be monitored or precisely controlled using screw- or auger-based feeders, vibratory feeders, conveyors, belt feeders, augers, variable valves and pumps.

Force Measurement

In addition to measuring the gravimetric force of weight, Hardy's systems can measure non-gravimetric forces in a wide variety of applications like controlling tension, determining the breaking point or hardness of a material, force testing and overload warning. Weight can be used to measure mechanical forces in any direction.
