Typically a weighing station for dyestuff and chemicals typically works like
this. The production recipe to begin with, is displayed in the PC at the
weighing station. Scales of various dimensions are generally connected to
the system. Weighing tolerance for all the products are pre defined. There
is a facility for the users to weigh the correct products within the defined
tolerances. Weighing protocols can also be printed. Weighments get
registered to the batch, and updated automatically, without effort in the
products inventory. A scanner is there to help in the right selection of the
products. A weighing station used for weighing of dyes, usually consists of
the following:
- An input terminal
- Two scales
- Around five dissolving tanks for dyes
- Agitators
