Having A Counting Machine In Filling Machine Industries

Companies that work with large product quantities need accurate and efficient sorting, counting, and packaging solutions. This way, they can maintain accuracy and quality control. However, production companies usually have to choose between packing products per count or weight. The decision you make should be based on the type of products you offer. For example, if you package seafood with a weight machine, you’ll probably need to use a counter since fish can have different weights. Packing seafood according to weight can lead to over and undercounts, which may impact your revenue and customer satisfaction. 

Automatic product counting machines also ensure that the contents in each package are 100% accurate. This prevents wastage due to over or undercounting, and product loss, and helps you achieve maximum efficiency.

Here are a few other reasons why you should use a counting machine in the packaging industry:

Boosts Customer Satisfaction

While an automatic counting machine can be expensive, manufacturers who do invest in them often get a massive return on investment. This is because these machines can help you achieve 100% packaging accuracy and reduce waste.

Without an accurate counting machine, some customers might receive a lesser number of products. As a result, they’ll probably find a competing product and you’ll lose their business. Automatic counting packing machines ensure every customer receives the right number of products, boosting customer loyalty and satisfaction. 

Saves Time and Money

Some counter machines are incredibly easy to dismantle — without the need for any tools. These high-speed counting machines are easy to clean, which is crucial for food hygiene in manufacturing and limits machinery downtime. 

Manual counting systems can be cumbersome and time-consuming. With an automated counting machine, you can save on hiring expenses, salaries, and other labour costs. 

Less Waste and More Accuracy

Well-designed counting machinery can preserve the shape and texture of the product. Whether you’re packaging wet, fragile, or dry produce, these machines can reduce production rejects and waste. The accuracy benefit also appeals to customers. Customers who need to buy in bulk would rather pick packages that have product counts on them. Product counts are a unique selling point that can boost transparency and convenience for shoppers. Product counts are also crucial for event planners who need to know “how many” as opposed to “how much.” If a package says 50 chicken wings, they do exactly how many packages to buy for the event.

Versatility

Product counting machines are compact and can integrate perfectly with your existing systems. Compact machinery is crucial for production facilities since they rely on space to support extensive production lines. Weight machines are usually taller than counters, so they might be placed too close to the ceiling. For production facilities with low ceilings, weighers are not an optimal option since there is often no space to position a weigher directly over a packing machine. 

On the other hand, counting machines are shorter and more versatile. Counting machines also tend to operate more quietly than weighing machines — at around 80 dB during production. Due to their higher noise levels, weighers are sometimes placed in separate rooms.
