ISCA - Dump Buggy Weigh Scales

• Accurate weighing of ingredients and finished products in food processing.
• Portion control and batching operations in meat and poultry processing.
• Quality control checks for product consistency and regulatory compliance.
• Inventory management and tracking of raw materials and work-in-progress.
• Optimising yields and reducing waste in food manufacturing environments.

Typical capacity

Units of this type commonly handle loads up to 300 kg (660 lb), suitable for standard dump buggies.

Power supply

Typically requires a standard single-phase electrical supply, often 230V, for the weigh head.

Construction material

For food processing, units are typically constructed from 304-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Footprint

Freestanding designs eliminate the need for floor pits or ramps, requiring a flat, stable surface for operation.

Weighing functions

Commonly includes gross, net, and tare functions, with unit weight display in both imperial and metric.

Compatibility

Designed to accommodate standard 400lb and 600lb dump buggies.
