Weigh Batching Equipment for Fasteners & Food

The two primary types of batching are weight batching and volume batching. Weight batching measures product by weight using precise load cells and scales to achieve consistent packaging batches. Volume batching relies on calibrated volumetric containers or chambers to measure product batches by volume rather than direct weight.

Systems like the ASA Weigh Filler and AWC Series are PLC-controlled or microprocessor-controlled, allowing operators to execute quick and simple changeovers between different package sizes, target weights, and container formats with minimal downtime.

Weight capabilities vary by system configuration. For instance, the AWC Series can fill package weights ranging from less than 1 lb to over 50 lbs for fresh, frozen, or dry products, with packaging systems capable of filling individual containers up to 55 lbs.
