 that increase speed up to 150 cycles per minute, the HD3 uses a staggered dump delay, which reduces large pieces of product getting stuck in the VFFS VFFS Vertical Form-Fill-Seal (packaging)  forming tube and increases the product pass rate to 99.5%. The product is also discharged faster; thus, increasing production speeds. Product waste is then decreased due to the overlapping closure of the clamshell buckets.

Another unique feature of this model is its ability to run two products to be weighed at the same time. All of these features generate accuracy within 1 gram (0.04 oz), allowing these combination scales to reduce product variations and significantly improve production output. Equipped with a new, easy to operate, 10.4" touch screen and operating software; the HD3 CombiScale is able to create a greater number of weight combinations to achieve the desired target weight.
