Weighing systems

Weighing of meat products

The weight of a meat product determines a large part of the price, but weighing can also help determine the efficiency of some processes. That is why we offer hanging belt scales and weighing systems for different areas of the farm. Thus, animals can already be weighed on arrival at the slaughterhouse. Then, for example, after classification at the end of the slaughter line, after dressing, before the carcass enters the dispatch and before it enters the cutting room. In addition, there is an optional weighing moment in rapid chilling. This provides valuable information on the efficiency of the chiller by revealing possible indigestion losses.

• Weighing at different points in the process
• Multiple weighing systems for suspended conveyors and belt conveyors
• Weighing data provides insight into process efficiency and contributes to product channelling and tracking & tracing

For suspended conveyor systems, DGS offers two different solutions: for a continuous process, we install motion scales, which means weighing while the conveyor is running. For start/stop processes, we supply static scales where weighing takes place when the conveyor is stationary. We also offer conveyors with a weighing unit, for in the deboning room, for example. The weighing moments provide data that give insight into the efficiency of processes and the tracking & tracing and channelling of the end product.
