Weigh Scale Applications

Automatic Box Filling Systems reduce labor costs by minimizing both the amount of time, and number of people required to handle bulk-packed, molded parts. A basic EMI Weigh Scale control system, such as the ones shown on this page typically allows one operator to handle the production from eight to ten machines. Large, multi-level systems, can provide even greater savings.

Weigh Scale: Systems l Applications

How do Weigh Scale automation systems work?

  • Empty boxes are loaded onto an indexing conveyor.
  • A box is indexed to the Weigh-scale platform fill position.
  • An under press conveyor feeds parts into the box.
  • When the preset box weight is reached, the box is indexed onto a roller storage conveyor.

This space saving, single station, Weigh Scale Box Filling systems signals visual and audible warnings when the box is 95% full, giving an operator time to prepare a new empty box. It could also be programed to signal when it is 100% full.
A basic, Weigh Scale system such as this can accurately fill parts into large containers, providing hours of unattended box filling.

A sweep arm moves filled boxes off of the weigh-scale, onto a roller storage conveyor. A small exit ramp has been added to allow the filled boxes to be pushed off of the conveyor if necessary. A cleat switch assures boxes are in the correct fill position.

This system uses a flat belt instead of a cleated belt to hold empty boxes. A photo eye assures that boxes are in the correct fill position. A sweep arm moves the filled boxes to the roller storage container.

This compact system was designed to fill small parts into boxes. A deionization unit prevents small parts from sticking to each other or to the conveyor.
An under press hopper contains parts as they leave the mold. A deionization unit prevents small parts from sticking to each other or to the conveyor.
