Case Study: Checkweighers Save Bagel Manufacturer Lots Of Dough

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 05:40:00 GMT

One wholesale bagel baker in the Pacific Northwest attributes its success to their willingness to go the extra mile to meet their customers' quality standards. In this case, that extra mile was represented by over-apportioning dough to ensure that the finished bagels were at or above the specification weight. This policy was good for customer satisfaction, but not very good for profitability. By Mettler-Toledo Hi-Speed

Article: Economics Of Feeding: Total Cost Approach To ROI

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 05:43:00 GMT

Feeding systems perform the important function of dosing ingredients into a food, plastics, pharmaceutical or other product in exactly the correct proportion-an extremely critical function for one small piece of the manufacturing line. An efficient and accurate feeding system, whether gravimetric or volumetric, can pay for itself quickly by producing material cost savings and keeping the process line up and running reliably.
