Our Belt Weighers have been proven to offer exceptional accuracies down to 0.1%, up to ten times better than competitive units. Although typically more expensive than load cell based units, for many applications the additional cost pales into insignificance when compared with the cost of material giveaway. The table below clearly illustrates the material giveaway costs associated with every 0.25% increment of belt scale inaccuracy.
