Loss-in-weight technology is a gravimetric dosing method crucial in the plastics industry and helpful in material handling and blending processes. In this context, the methodology involves continuously measuring the weight of a container or hopper containing plastic material as it is dispensed, a method termed “loss-in-weight.”
The difference between loss-in-weight and Balance Technology is that loss-in-weight is a method used in plastic processing, otherwise referred to as gravimetric measurement. On the other hand, Balance Technology is our own technology – integrated into a dosing or blending solution – to ensure accurate measurement and dynamic feeding of additives into your production process.
Our loss-in-weight technology incorporates vital components, such as a load cell for measuring the container’s weight and a controller that dynamically regulates the feeding rate based on the changing weight of the plastic material. The load cell, a crucial aspect of Balance Technology, plays a pivotal role in real-time monitoring, enabling adjustments to maintain a consistent feeding rate during manufacturing.
This innovative technology is particularly beneficial in plastic processing applications, where accurate control over the dispensing of materials is paramount. The advantages provided by our approach, integrating Balance Technology, include heightened accuracy, repeatability, and the ability to adapt the feeding rate to accommodate variations in material properties or processing conditions.
