New Data Scales from Gainco are specially engineered to improve the speed and simplicity of processing boxed and labeled finished products.

Gainesville, Ga. (EMWNews) July 23, 2008 — Data Scales from Gainco are specially engineered to improve the speed and simplicity of processing boxed and labeled finished products. Gainco’s new high-performance scale design delivers ultra-accuracy and a lower cost of ownership through incorporating advanced electronics and a rugged construction.

Gainco’s new data scale can take all the “shocks and hard knocks” of the processing floor – as well as to offer superior washdown protection – making it the ideal weigh/data solution for the harsh environments of meat and poultry processing plants. Its innovative design improves calibration accuracy, operating performance and equipment durability while reducing equipment downtime and operating costs. Sanitation and maintenance operations are also simplified.

Gainco’s new data scale offers plant-specific, custom label-making capabilities, with unlimited product codes and configurations possible. The on-screen display includes product code, weight and production totals. Minimizing product “giveaway” has never been easier or more accurate, with the ability to program “over” and “under” thresholds. Scale calibration is likewise quick and easy.

All aspects of the labeling process are easy with Gainco’s new data scale. Important label management features include the ability to print catch or fixed weights, as well as having multiple label hotkeys that can be used by operators. Label formats can be formatted at the corporate level, or by designated personnel at individual plant locations.

The data scale is equipped with the revolutionary Gainco Infiniti™ programmable controller, which is specially designed to thrive in the extremes of meat and poultry processing. Cold work environments, hot chemical washdowns and high-pressure cleaning do not affect the performance of the equipment. As a result, the need for double boxing, bagging or removing the indicator from the processing floor during washdown is eliminated.

Additionally, a specially-designed, super-secure stainless steel enclosure for the PC and label printer protects those sensitive electronics from high-pressure washdown water and chemicals.

The data scale’s heavy-duty construction utilizes Gainco’s DuraWeigh™ 20×20 platform and roller-bed. The durable stainless steel construction featuring continuous seam welds really stands up to the rigors of the processing environment. The RF communications minimizes the number of cables needed, thereby reducing the potential for damage on the plant floor.

Due to its robust design, the new scale carries a two-year limited warranty. Through its Blue Ribbon Service subsidiary, Gainco also offers expert 24/7 service on the equipment, distribution systems, software and wireless communications support. Factory-trained technicians are certified in most states, and all service work is guaranteed.
