YOUR STORE FOR LOAD CELLS, SCALE, WEIGHT INDICATORS.
Weight control from the batch to the box.
Food processing weighing for the whole line: recipe batching, hygienic tank and kettle weighing, net-weight filling, in-line checkweighing, and washdown-rated indicators that report to your PLC. For food and pet-food processors, equipment OEMs and sanitary integrators, shipped from stock in Davie, FL.
Food processing weighing solutions along the line
From the batch hopper to the checkweigher, we add weight control, automation and integration to the equipment you already run. Pick a solution to see where it fits and what it includes.
One supplier for every weigh point
Every orange part on the drawing is something we supply: cells under the batch hopper, the kettle, the fill heads and the weigh belt, the controllers and indicators that read them, and the transmitters in the control panel. Pick a solution above, or tap a ring on the drawing.
Recipe batching
A batch controller runs saved formulas, weighing each ingredient into the hopper against its target with a tolerance check before the next one goes in. Dry mixes, seasonings and pet-food formulas come out the same every run, and every batch leaves a traceable record. The same controller family also runs automatic bagging.
- Programmable batch controllersSaved recipes, tolerance checks and batch records
- Compression load cellsOne under each hopper lug
- Bagging controllersAutomatic bagging for dry mixes and pet food
- Junction boxesSum the cells into one reading
Tank and kettle weighing
Hygienic compression cells or stainless weighing modules under each leg turn a mix tank, kettle or hopper into an in-process scale. The mounting is crevice-free, friendly to clean-in-place and self-aligning as the vessel heats and cools, so you know what is in the vessel without adding a place for product to collect.
- Hygienic compression cellsCrevice-free, one under each leg
- Stainless weighing modulesCell and mounting in one self-aligning assembly
- Hygienic junction boxesSum the legs into one reading
Net-weight filling
A fill controller weighs each container as it fills, with coarse and fine feed and in-flight compensation to stop on the target net weight. Liquids, sauces and powders go into bottles, jars, pails or IBCs with less giveaway and fewer rejects per shift.
- Filling controllersCoarse and fine feed with in-flight compensation
- Single-point load cellsOne under each fill head
- CablesFrom each cell to the controller
In-line checkweighing
A stainless single-point cell under the weigh belt weighs every pack at line speed, compensating for packs that land off-center. Under- and over-weight packs are rejected on the belt, and the trend is logged for the QA record.
- Stainless single-point load cellsUnder the weigh belt
- Checkweighing indicatorsAccept, reject and log every pack
- Stainless checkweighersBench units for spot checks, IP67 or IP69K
Line integration
Weight transmitters and controllers send weight and counts to the line PLC, SCADA or ERP over 4–20 mA, RS-485 Modbus or Ethernet. Every weigh point reports into the system you already run, so production and QA work from the same numbers.
- Weight transmittersDIN-rail mounted in the control panel
- Indicators and controllersWashdown-rated readout at each weigh point
- CablesFrom the weigh points to the panel
Fill, batch and checkweigh control, with the record
The controller does more than show a weight. It runs the fill, sequences the recipe, rejects off-weight packs and keeps the record your QA team works from.
- Net-weight fill control
- Coarse and fine feed with in-flight compensation stops each container on its target, for liquids, sauces and powders.
- Recipe batching
- Saved formulas sequence each ingredient against its target with tolerance checks, so every batch mixes the same.
- Automatic bagging
- Bag filling to weight for dry mixes, seasonings and pet-food formulas, on the same controller family.
- In-line checkweighing
- Under- and over-weight packs are caught at line speed and rejected on the belt.
- Traceable records
- Every batch and every pack trend is logged, so QA can trace what was made and what was rejected.
- PLC, SCADA and ERP
- Weight and counts go to the line host over 4–20 mA, RS-485 Modbus or Ethernet.

Questions buyers ask
Will the scales survive our daily washdown?
Yes. The indicators and controllers we spec for food lines are IP69K rated, sealed against high-pressure, high-temperature washdown. The stainless cells and weighing modules we pair with them are built for the daily hose-down, not just splash resistance.
Are the load cells hygienic design?
For the points that need it, yes. The hygienic compression cells and junction boxes we spec for food lines have crevice-free geometry, no flat ledges and cleanable surfaces. For food-contact and splash-zone points we spec the hygienic line specifically. Tell us the zone and we match the right cell.
What fill or checkweigh accuracy can we hit?
Net-weight fill control with coarse and fine feed and in-flight compensation holds a tight tolerance on liquids and powders. What you can achieve depends on product flow, nozzle design and how well the load-cell capacity matches the fill. In-line checkweighing with stainless single-point cells catches under- and over-weight packs at line speed. We sanity-check the application before quoting a target.
Can you handle liquid filling and dry batching on the same line?
Yes. The Systec IT-series covers liquid filling (IT8000E, IT6000E and IT2000M FILL), multi-ingredient recipe batching (IT2000M BATCH) and automatic bagging (IT2000M BAG) in one controller family with the same operator interface, so there is one screen to learn across fill, batch and bag.
Do you offer OEM or integrator pricing?
Yes. Equipment OEMs building weighing into sanitary machines, and integrators delivering food and pet-food lines, get tiered pricing on cells, modules, controllers and indicators. Send your business details and we'll route you to the dealer program.
What are typical lead times?
Common stainless cells, modules and indicators ship same day from stock in Davie, FL. Specialty configurations, such as custom mounting, oversized capacity or specific hygienic options, typically take 1 to 6 weeks. Exact dates are confirmed with the quote.
