Hopper Balances
|
|
Many of our balances are used as hopper balances. The economic platform balances are gaining ground to special hopper balances which are more expensive. Solidity, wide weighing ranges and high accuracy are factors in favour of hopper balances.
Both hopper and weight functions help to improve their use in industrial processes. Some models of laboratory balances, accurate balances and tabletop balances have also this hopper function. You will find the hopper balances best suit you depending on the accuracy, weighing range and verification.
Other series of balances are TS series package balances. These hopper balances offer a lot of additional specifications and many of them are perfect for weighing mixtures (recipes). If you don't find the hopper balances you are looking for, please contact us by calling our offices. Call us on:  UK customers +44(0) 23 809 870 30 / US customers (561) 320-9162 and we will help you to find the best solution to suit your needs and our technical staff will advise you regarding our balances. Our engineers and technicians will be happy to help you with the hopper balances, and of course, with other products in the field of regulation and control, and measuring instruments.

The symbol for mixing (recipes) in the technical sheets of hopper balances means that these balances can be used to mix and  make recipes.Verification: to meet the CE 90/384 CEE standard, all hopper balances must be verified when they are used for one of the following functions (as we have just pointed out, verification can be carried out by the local authorized verification centre or by the PCE Instruments company except for series II hopper balances which have to be verified in situ):
a) in trade relationships, when the price of the product is determined by its weight;
b) to make medicines in pharmacy as well as detailed analysis in medical or pharmaceutical laboratories;
c) official activities such as determining rates or sanctions;
d) for packaging production.
If you require additional information about verification of platform balances, or you are not sure whether you need a verified scale, you can contact your local authorized verification centre. Verification of hopper balances that can be verified can be done when balances are ordered or they can be sent for a periodical verification. Once an official verification has been done hopper balances cannot be recalibrated using an external calibration weight. The first verification is valid for two years, but each following validation is good for one year and must be done annually by the authorized verification centre.
If you have not found any hopper scale yet, please contact us and our engineers will be very pleased to help you with choosing our balances that suit your needs the best.
