Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities typically range from a few grams up to 25-50 kg, depending on the specific model and application.

Power supply

Commonly operates on standard single-phase industrial power, typically 230V, 50Hz in the UK.

Throughput

Semi-automatic units typically offer throughputs ranging from 5 to 20 weighments or counts per minute, influenced by product characteristics and operator efficiency.

Weighing accuracy

Units of this type commonly provide accuracy within +/- 0.1% to 0.5% of the target weight, depending on the load cell and control system.

Materials of construction

Typically features stainless steel contact parts for hygiene and durability, with painted mild steel frames for general industrial use.

Footprint

A semi-automatic netweigh-counting scale typically requires a compact footprint, often around 0.5 to 1.5 square metres, plus space for operator access.
