Accurate and consistent filling, dosing and batching are essential to ensure consistently high product quality. When choosing the right weighing equipment for hazardous areas, the correct classification and the appropriate method of ignition protection must be considered. Installing intrinsically safe weighing instruments ensures accurate and reliable weighing results at highest protection levels.
Intrinsically safe weighing equipment is ideal for weighing in hazardous areas because it keeps the entire system safe – independent from the weighing application. Intrinsically safe technology prevents explosions by ensuring that the energy transferred to a hazardous area is well below the energy required to initiate an explosion. Intrinsically safe systems allow equipment to be used without risk of igniting any flammable gas, dust or fibers that may be present in hazardous areas.
Choose from a wide range of compact, bench and floor scales, load cells, weigh modules and vehicle scales. Our intrinsically safe weighing terminals provide the functionality you need - from manual basic weighing applications to semi- or fully-automated process control.

Intrinsically safe technology provides a flexible and modular solution to most industrial applications within hazardous areas. It is possible to communicate with multiple components through specially designed communication elements. One of its greatest benefits is that intrinsic safety enables equipment maintenance within hazardous areas, without the need to interrupt the power supply and to obtain a gas clearance certificate, which is necessary with open flame-proof equipment. This especially applies to instrumentation because fault finding on de-energized equipment is more complex and time-consuming.
In-line checkweighing helps prevent underweight product from being shipped and minimizes the risk of costly overfill. Dynamic weighing solutions help enhance productivity and profitability for manufacturers in the food and beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical and other non-food industries. Our solutions meet or exceed HACCP, NEMA 4X and various hygienic standards.
Distributors and eBusinesses weigh each parcel after order-picking to verify that all parts are inside. To do so, they store the individual weight, including tolerance, of each product and all packaging material in their database. With these values, they calculate the weight for each shipment and verify it on an in-motion scale. METTLER TOLEDO has a comprehensive range of standardized in-motion scales, but also weigh modules and platforms for customized solutions.
In any production, manual checkweighing is a common final control check to make sure customers receive the exact amount of product indicated on the label. Usually, manual checkweighing is a repetitive task and an operator is under constant time pressure to ensure all products are within a pre-defined weight range. METTLER TOLEDO provides different manual checkweighing scales, offering improved process accuracy, speed and ergonomics.
The operator places the item on the scale and checks if the displayed result is within the expected tolerance range. METTLER TOLEDO portioning scales and checkweighers are available in numerous sizes for ergonomic working. They help the operator increase process efficiency up to 20 percent with the colorWeight® function.
For portioning, prepared product is stored in a tray beside the scale. The operator puts an empty container on the scale, tares it and starts portioning. Once the defined tolerance range is reached, the operator removes the full container, puts on an empty new container, tares the scale and starts working on the next portion. Dedicated portioning scales offer functions such as “auto-tare” to tare individual container weights.
In the take-away operation, bulk products are placed in a tray on the scale. After activating the take-away mode, the operator takes away handfuls or scoops of product and fills smaller packages with a predefined amount of product. The scale automatically indicates optically if the amount in the hand or scoop is within tolerance and automatically resets the display. This speeds up the procedure without a keystroke from the operator.
Checking quality by weightis a versatile, accurate alternative to check the quality of a wide range of products in the metal, plastics and electronics industry. Completeness of kits, packages or shipments can be checked. Length of cables, application of coatings and completeness of assembly also can be monitored by looking at weight deviations. The verification of products or samples is done manually with traditional checkweighing. The colorWeight® mode allows high throughput and error-free processes.
METTLER TOLEDO delivers accurate and reliable results for simple weighing and counting tasks. Check more products in a given time, count exactly, ensure completeness of packages or check whole pallets for their weight quickly with scales dedicated for those basic applications.

With manual or automatic control and trend control, trends of the product weight are monitored at regular intervals. Deviations in the filling process are identified and sent either manually or by a control pulse to the filling installation.
The checkweigher can be integrated in your production and checks all products. TU1 violations are limited to the legally admissible percentage. TU2 violations are discarded completely.
The consumer should have access to safe medications, medical devices and services through processes that are understood and controlled, and therefore reproducible. These claims are contained in healthcare regulations and laws worldwide.
Gravimetric level control is one of the most accurate inventory control methods available for measuring high-value solids, liquids and even gases inside tanks. Tank load cell is placed outside of the tank, which makes them superior to other measuring methods for aggressive, hot, frozen, non-free-flowing or non-self-leveling materials. Measuring results are not impacted by tank shape, load cell materials or process parameters, such as temperature or material viscosity.
Most tanks holding 10 kilograms to 1,000 tons or more are mounted on compression load cells or compression weigh modules for weighing. The RockerPin ensures the best accuracy in case of thermal expansion or contraction. Compression weigh modules are ideal for turning tanks into tank scales. In addition, smaller tanks can be mounted on bench or floor scales, which is convenient for legal-for-trade applications.
Tanks or hopper scales can be suspended from tension load cells or weigh modules, with accuracy similar to that achievable with compression systems. This mounting method can be convenient if an overhead structure already exists, or if the ground space under the scale must be kept clear. It is applicable for scales with capacities of approximately 20 kilograms (45 lbs.) to 30 tons.
Outdoor tanks must have safety features to protect the load cell during installation and operation. Tanks are exposed to wind forces. This requires features for weigh modules to cope with uplift forces on one side and extreme load on the other. Temperature changes can result in expansion and contraction of the support structure. Our weigh modules are designed to cope with such circumstances.
Weigh modules with POWERCELL® technology reduce downtime with predictive maintenance. A run-flat function allows you to continue a batch in the event of a damaged load cell or a broken connecting cable. A daisy-chain-type network technology with plug-and-play connectors eliminates the need for junction boxes, which can be prone to damage. The CalFreePlus™ feature eliminates need for re-calibration in the event the cables or load cells have to be replaced.
METTLER TOLEDO weigh modules are designed to mitigate uplift forces resulting from wind and earthquakes and temperature-related expansion and contraction of the tank's support structure. We perform Finite Element Analysis on mechanical parts and perform tests to expose even heavy-capacity weigh modules to real-life conditions with full loads.
Weighing equipment, used in continuous wet and harsh environments or exposed to regular cleaning procedures, needs specific protection technologies. Water and humidity, when penetrating a terminal or a load cell, can damage electronic parts, cause corrosion and may lead to incorrect weighing results or a break down. Furthermore, remaining water or humidity on the product contact surface causes an increased potential for bacteria contaminations.
METTLER TOLEDO offers dedicated weighing solutions suitable for wet and harsh environments. These solutions include long-lasting equipment, which are rated according to highest ingress protection ratings. An enclosure protected with IP69k must not only be dust-tight, but it must also able to withstand high pressure and steam cleaning.
METTLER TOLEDO's preferred construction material for scales used in wet and harsh environments is stainless steel. Our offering includes 304L steel quality and 316Lfor enhanced corrosion resistance that provides a long service life.
Reduced contamination; fast and efficient cleaning procedures - Equipment used for food processing must be designed and installed according to sound sanitary design principles.

Coupled-in-motion (CIM) rail weighing provides the ability to weigh multiple rail cars and entire trains in a fraction of the time.
Completeness matters for manufacturers of parts, modules and kits to ensure customer satisfaction and to avoid expensive rework or return of delivered goods. But completeness also matters in the production process to avoid adding value to defective semi-finished products in subsequent manufacturing steps. Weighing is a simple and fail-safe method for in-process or end-of-line quality control where high-precision scales can detect deviations of 0.001 percent within a split of a second.
Cavities, missing sections in complex structures and density deviations harm quality of tool-shaped parts from injection molding, die casting, powder-metal pressing, sand casting and stamping. The smallest weigh deviations can identify potentially defective products that need further inspection. METTLER TOLEDO has weighing technology with repeatable resolution of up to 4 million points to reliably detect smallest deviations.
Repair, toy or mounting kits often consist of very small and very large parts of different materials, including documentation. Visual completeness control is not effective for checking completeness of parts inside non-transparent packages or when parts are stacked. High-precision weighing can verify completeness despite poor visibility. METTLER TOLEDO offers many solutions from static scales, conveyor scales or weigh modules to incorporate into a machine.
Functionality tests of gear boxes, ball bearings or electromechanical devices do not always detect all the errors that might affect their lifetime. Incorrect oil quantity or missing parts often pass unnoticed in short-term functionality tests. Weighing is a simple-to-apply method for a complementary completeness check, even for products that include movable elements. High-capacity weighing with the highest resolution allows verification of even heavy products.
In manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, verifying volumetric filling by weight is the preferred method because it is directly traceable to a standard. However, the method of gravimetrical quality control is not limited to the quantity of the product. It also verifies presence of accessories. such as spoons and cups or brushes. Our weighing technology combines 100% control and high throughput.
Weight is an important quality parameter for tablets and capsules. Manufacturers either test samples or every tablet. METTLER TOLEDO has dedicated ultra-small weigh modules for compact instruments for sample testing or machines for high throughput when 100-percent control is required.
Products, such as solar wafers, go through several manufacturing steps in which material is added or subtracted. Simple weighing before and after treatment is all that is needed for in-process quality control. High-precision weighing is a simple non-destructive method to verify coating or etching processes. METTLER TOLEDO has a global team of experts that support machine builders and end users in applying weight for manufacturing of all types of electronics.
