The equipment developed by OTAI for weighting and dosifying different types of products has been designed according to the type of product to be measured.

There are two different ways of measuring a product: gross measuring, ideal for manual bagging, and net weight measuring, much faster than gross measuring, ideal for automatic bagging lines.

• Gross measuring: The product is weighted and measured into the bag, hanging from scaling cells. The product is roughly measured and when the device detects the dosage is reaching the approximated desired weight uses one of three systems, depending on the scale, to finish measuring with an accurate dosage.

• Net weight measuring:The measuring process is divided into a three stage process: First the product is roughly measured into a weighting receptacle. When the device detects the weight is close to the one set it uses one of three systems, depending on the type of scale, to finish with an accurate dosage. After that, the dosage is released. While the dosage is released into the bag, the process has already began to measure again. That's why net weight scales are faster than gross weight scales.

We also provide bulk bigbag scales and bagging stations.These are also available in net or gross weight formats. If you wish to know more about these or any other OTAI product you may visit the product’s web page.
