Frequently asked questions
How accurate is a 50 lb bag?
Our net-weigh scales weigh product in a hopper before it reaches the bag. The DCS-50FB3 is published at ±0.1% F.S. We confirm expected accuracy on your product, since pellets, seed and fines behave differently.
Can the machine display pounds?
Tell us if your operators need lb on the controller. Target weights are set on the touchscreen; unit display is confirmed per machine during configuration.
What power and air supply do I need?
220/240 V · 60 Hz configurations are available for North American projects depending on the machine. Fully automatic machines also need compressed air; we provide the exact requirement with the quotation.
Do you have dealers in the United States?
We are building a U.S. network of equipment dealers and sales representatives. Equipment dealers can see our U.S. dealer program.
