Food Processing
You can depend on Rice Lake Weighing Systems' food processing solutions to enhance food production processes, meet quality checks and optimize the bottom line.
Washdown Scales for Sanitary Food Processing
Rice Lake offers comprehensive weighing solutions for food production and quality assurance that can meet FSMA, NSF and FDA standards. Heavy-duty scales constructed with solid stainless steel are suited for harsh washdown environments to keep food processing efficient and sanitary.
Heavy-duty Platform Scales
Industrial platform scales assist with weighing products throughout food processing. With bench and floor models, including options that meet HACCP requirements and contain IP69K load cells, Rice Lake has an accurate and sanitary solution for every process.
Cleaning procedures are a necessity in food processing, and Rice Lake’s platform scales are designed to withstand heavy washdowns, keeping production sanitary. Constructed with 304 stainless steel, scales are resistant to corrosion and are built to last.
Checkweighers for the Food Industry
Checkweighers review weights to ensure products fall within a specified range, which cuts costs from product overfill and ensures customers get a fair amount of product for the price. Rice Lake’s checkweighers are reliable and meet HACCP requirements.
Load Cells and Weigh Modules for Precise Operations
Load cells evaluate product weights through a strain gauge, measuring electrical currents and resistance. Weigh modules are integrated weighing systems that connect load cells to load cell mounts and junction boxes, so load cells can be added to fixed containers such as hoppers or tanks.
Modular Software
Software programs integrate with food processing operations to ensure materials are correctly portioned and processed. Digital records create traceability for products with thorough reports, saving time and providing consistent quality products. Software programs streamline production and allow operators to manage complex facilities.
Myrias™ integrated software solutions are the perfect fit for food processing. Modules can be added for batching, offline sampling, traceability and more. Ensure consistent quality and reduce waste with production software.
