If you have to do a stock check by hand, and you have thousands of components to count in your store. A lot of precious hours will be wasted just on counting the components and miss out on making money for the business. So it will need a counting scale to save time.

What is a counting scale?

Counting scales use an average piece weigh to determine the number of parts on the scale. The operator takes a small sample of the items to be weighed and inputs the count into the scale. The scale then calculates the average piece weigh, so when an unknown quantity is placed on the scale, it determines exactly how many are there.

JADEVER's counting scale can help you efficiently and accurately count a high volume of identical parts. Whether for incoming or outgoing goods, counting scales ensure you have exactly the number of parts you require.

What application counting scales be used for?

They can be used in every area where large numbers of small parts are produced, warehoused or processed, from the manufacturing industry and producers of metal components for the automotive and tool making industries to the market segment for everyday consumer goods.

A counting system allows you to count the following products quickly and accurately, for example, even in large quantities:

metal parts

Screws, nails and other small parts for trade use

Paper (business cards, leaflets, envelopes, etc.)

Tablets

Stationary

Coins

How does a counting scale work?

First center an empty container on the platform of the digital quantity scale and press the tare key to cancel out its weight. Next place a specific quantity of the product to be counted – 5, 10 or 20 pieces – on the reference balance and press the key for the corresponding number.

For example, let’s assume you are trying to find out the total number (N) of screws. You will first measure the weight of a single screw (let’s assume it as 2 grams) and input its data into the scale. Then, you will measure the weight of the “N” number of screws together.

Now, divide the total weight (X) of all the screws by the weight of a single screw (5g). This is how it should look like on paper:

1 screw = 2 g (assumed weight)

Total weight = X = 100g (assumed weight)

N = X/2 =>N = 50 screws.

From the above equation, we get the total numbers (N) of screws as 50.
