What is a Hopper Scale?

A hopper scale is a weigh scale that is mounted onto load cells and used to determine the total net weight and/or content.

Hopper scales are specifically ideal for situations where there is a constant flow of product like an assembly line or in the manufacturing realm.

Hopper scales are typically built to withstand harsh environments while still providing accurate results. While the price point of a hopper scale can be higher than other weighing options, it is well worth the investment when you consider all its benefits. 

What are the benefits of a Hopper Scale?

One of the key benefits of using a hopper scale is its durability. Even in the severest of conditions, a hopper scale will perform without any issues and can assimilate to any change in the environment.

In addition, even when your hopper scale is enduring harsh conditions, you can always guarantee accuracy. Switching to the use of a hopper sale will not only improve your product accuracy but provide consistent results every time. This kind of guarantee is vital, especially in an assembly-line environment where so many factors can affect precision.

Hopper scales are also an extremely user-friendly option and even have the ability to increase your productivity. How does this happen? Instead of manually weighing, you are able to use a system that automates the process. Once you’ve opted for the hopper scale you’ll be able to get more done in a shorter amount of time.

The last benefit to the hopper scale is all of the options and opportunities it provides. The hopper scale can handle virtually any product in any environment. It doesn’t matter the temperature of the product or the size, and it doesn’t matter the conditions the scale is put through – it will always perform with accuracy.

Ultimately, you want a product that is going to get things done quickly but also correctly. That is why we believe the hopper scale is ideal for those situations. You are able to start an automated process that gives you the correct weight measurements in a timely manner.
