Essentus® efficiency: simple, reliable and versatile 


The Essentus® efficiency was developed to reliably master basic weighing tasks of checkweighing. Customers can rely on Minebea Intec’s proven conveyor technology and benefit from the expertise of a leading manufacturer. A clearly visible, optional LED traffic light offers ease of operation and indicates the weight classification in underweight, good weight and overweight – in addition to the display doing so. Apart from checkweighing for individual products, the scale can also be used for completeness checks at the end of a production line. The operating unit is equipped with an LCD display, can store over 100 different products and can also be mounted separately from the scale on request. The single weights are transmitted via the RS 232 interface. Alternatively, the RS 422, RS 485, Profibus-DP and ProfiNET interfaces are also available.
