No parts pricing sucker punches – VBS uses standard, industry-available components that are easily attainable from multiple vendors, in the design and construction of our equipment assuring our customer economical, simplified, fast and efficient maintainability.

Our NTEP Certified Inline Conveyor Scales offer incredible in-motion weighing accuracy with high speed capabilities. We offer complete customization to ensure the scale fits within your existing processes and meets your exact needs.

Features & Benefits:

Industrial controller samples weight at 60-80 samples/second for efficient weighing
Easy interfacing with other systems such as sorters, classifiers, automatic box weigh labeling, manual box labeling and more
Single load cell design simplifies calibration maintenance and operation
Smooth belt driven design ensures minimal vibration during weighments
Safety stops help protect load cells from abusive treatment

Conveyor Scale Features:

Photoeyes start and stop the weighment process.

Heavy-duty bearings provide long service life

Stainless steel transition plates allow small diameter products to easily transfer.

FAQ

What is the difference between a conveyor scale & checkweigher?

A conveyor scale simply acquires the weight. This weight can then be stored on the scale or sent to another device.

A checkweigher will acquire the weight, compare the weight against an upper and lower limit, and then take an action. Just a few examples of actions are illuminate a light, stop a conveyor or divert the product off the line for rework (most popular).

Does the conveyor stop to get the product weight?

No. Stopping the conveyor for each product would significantly increase component wear & tear, and reduce the throughput.

Even while in motion our NTEP certified scale and algorithm will accurately determine the weight of the weight of the product.

How do I know when NTEP is needed?

NTEP is required when you are selling your product based on its weight. Therefore all food processing facilities require an NTEP inline conveyor scale in their facility when capturing product weight. NTEP is also required when transmitting a weight for creating a shipping label.

Can I export the data, or transmit the weights in real time?

Yes to both. We offer RS-232 (serial) and Ethernet communication as standard. You can see the database being populated or export the data after a finished run. (Ethernet IP option is also available.)
