Weighing Scales for Beverages and Breweries

Drinks are sold by volume but made and checked by weight. Syrup, concentrate, sugar and water are dosed by weight, bottles and cans are filled to a declared volume that’s easiest to check on a scale, and a floor that’s always wet ruins ordinary scales. A few millilitres of overfill per bottle, across a day’s production, is a lot of product given away.

Hindustan Scale Company (HSCo), Mumbai, has made weighing equipment since 1955. For beverage plants, bottlers, juice makers and breweries we supply tank and IBC weighing, liquid check weighing, checkweighers for packs and cases, waterproof scales for wet areas, and refractometers, turbidity meters and pH meters for quality control. Nescafé and Parle Agro are among the beverage brands that use our scales. Tell us where the fill or the recipe goes wrong and we’ll name the equipment that fixes it.

Where a beverage plant weighs, and with what

• Ingredients – platform and bench scales for sugar, concentrate and additives.
• Syrup room and tanks – tank and IBC weighing for syrup, juice and concentrate.
• Filling – liquid check weighing to confirm each bottle or pack holds its declared volume.
• Packing – checkweighers catch cases with a missing bottle.
• Wet areas – waterproof stainless platform and table-top scales.
• QC lab – refractometers for Brix, turbidity meters, colorimeters and pH meters.

Tell us the problem, we’ll name the scale
