Gravimetric Filling Systems: Precision by Weight

LOCUS ROBOTICS engineers high-accuracy weigh-fill solutions for high-value liquids and viscous products where ±0.1% dosing accuracy is critical.


Technology Overview

Feature Gravimetric Fillers Piston Fillers Flow Meter Systems
Accuracy ±0.1% ±0.3% ±0.2%
Best For High-value products Viscous pastes Thin liquids
Density Changes Auto-compensation Manual adjustment Requires recalibration
Cycle Time 15-30 sec/canister 5-10 sec 3-7 sec

How It Works

Key Advantage: Real-time weight feedback eliminates density/viscosity errors.

  Gravimetric Weigh-Fill Systems  
  Mass-Based Precision for Difficult Products
- ±0.1% Accuracy - Loss-in-weight technology  
- 50-300 Containers/Hour - From 10g sachets to 25kg bags  
- All-Product Versatility - Powders • Granules • Liquids • Pastes

Technology Comparison
