Electronic Weighing Balances.



Weighing balances are used in industrial and research laboratories.

Weighing balances are further classified into Precision Balances, Analytical Balances, Semi Micro balances and Micro balances.

Selection of the balance depends on the required readability ( i.e. grams or milligrams).
Other factors that play role in selection are weighing capacity - minimum and maximum weight it can weigh.
Repetability - ability to show the same result when object is repeatedly weighed under similar condition.
Weighing environment and stabilization period.

Weighing balances provide different functions and can be interfaced with computers for storing and analyzing weighment data.


Weighing balances are sensitive device and need to be handled very carefully.
For accurate reading they need to be placed where there is no vibration, interference from air current and static charges.

Batching System



In industry it is very important to produce quality products consistently.
As most products are manufactured in different batches it becomes a challenge to maintain consistency between batches.

Products having many ingredients need to be weighed accurately and blended together as per process requirement.
This can be easily achieved by using electronic batch weighing systems.

Batch Weighing System consists of weight sensor (load cell), hoppers and electronic weight controller.
User can set required weight of individual ingredients. These ingredients are accurately discharged and used in further process.

Batching systems are used in food, pharma and chemical industries. For example accurate batching helps in food processing industry to maintain quality, appearance, color and taste of food products. Similarly in chemical industry accurate batching is required to achieve optimal recreation.

Batching system automates weighing of ingredients and reduces the possible human error.

Digital Printing Solutions

Advances in Digital Printing Technology has created many printing solutions that substantially reduce production cost and also resulted in profitable low-volume production.

Digital Textile Printers are based on inkjet technology. Suitable fabric handling mechanisms are attached to inkjet printers. Different types of colorants are used for different type of fabrics.

Direct to Garment (DTG) is also digital textile printing where small designs are printed on garments such as T-shirts and promotional wear.



In Digital Textile Printing there is no need to prepare “screen”, hence it is even economical to print small volume of fabric. Digital Textile Printers can print on cotton, silk and polyester fabric. Low energy sublimation inks and high energy disperse inks are directly printed on fabric. In sublimation printing, first printing is done on a transfer paper and then it is transferred to fabric using heat press.

Along with Digital Textile Printers, RIP software is used. This software enhances digital textile printers capabilities and makes processing of large image file faster and consistent.

Application of Digital Textile Printer : Apparel, garment, home textile, sports wear and furnishing.


Coding, Marking and Labelling Systems

Thermal transfer label printers use heat to transfer ink from ribbon onto the label. Label may be of paper or synthetic material. Ribbon is normally made of wax, resin or wax and resin combination.

Thermal transfer labels are used widely in packaging labels, retail pricing labels, supply chain management, marking specimens in laboratory etc. Barcode printed labels make inventory management and tracking easier.

Depending upon required shelf life of label, label material and ribbon type is selected. Thermal transfer labels are durable and scratch resistant.

Thermal transfer label printers also works in stand alone mode. That is no need to connect to computer. Label printers can also be interfaced with electronic weighing scale or other device and can be programmed to print information received.

Special label printers which can print simultaneously in two colors are also available. These printers are used to print GHS compliant labels in chemical and specialty chemical industries.

Label printers which can print on double side are used in textile industries for printing wash care labels.

Label printers are also used to print on tube, wire harness application and small size ( 4 mm x 4 mm) for PCB identification.

Print and apply system, consisting of label printer and applicator are installed in production line to automate labelling applications.

Inspection Systems in Food and Pharma Industry

It is the responsibility of manufacturers to supply food and pharma products that are safe for human consumption. Every manufacturer makes his best effort to put a system in place to manufacture good quality products.

Inspite of this there are possibilities of metal and foreign particle contamination. If product gets contaminated then it is harmful for human consumption. This results in costly recall of products, stringent action and heavy penalty by regulatory bodies. Also spoils brand image and consumer loyalty.

Metal detectors can detect ferrous and non-ferrous metal contaminants. They are used for checking contaminats in raw materail and packaged products. Metal detectors are installed before processing machines to safe guard them  from inadvertent metal particles. Metal detectors installed at the packing lines ensure contaminated product will not reach consumers.

Metal detectors can detect only ferrous and non-ferrous contaminant. They also face limitation to detect metal contamination in products packaged in aluminum foils. X-ray inspection systems can overcome this limitation.



X-ray inspection systems detect bone,plastic, stone, rubber and metal contaminants. X-ray inspection systems can also detect missing products, shape detection and package integrity.
