Number of weighing bin combinations multiplied
New 16 bin ERC scale offers exponential accuracy
The new generation of ERC multihead scales with exponential accuracy are able to make more packaging out of the same amount of packaging than was the case for the last generations of mulithead scales.
This may be due to the two step approach, in which the accuracy is improved on two fronts. The first step is the internal weighing accuracy of the weighing bins. It has been dramatically improved compared to the last generation of scales. The second step is the number of possible combinations to make a final weight. In a 16 bin scale the number of combinations increases exponentially. This means that a 16 bin ERC scale can pick from over 12500 combinations of weighing bins to sort the most accurate weight. This means that you can make more packaging from the same amount of product compared to the last generation of scales.
A practical example: a customer from the United States replaced a number of his scales with the new generation of ERC round headed scales. After a while it turned out that they could sell a truck load more onions per week whilst the amount of incoming product had remained the same.
Even at very high speed the scales retain their accuracy. It is important to have the scales gauged. This can be done through ERC.
