Production managers across the country struggle with hitting production numbers. One of the main reasons for delayed production is the inability to weigh product on the line at a high speed without compromising accuracy. RMH Systems has a product line that can eliminate that issue. The Thompson checkweighers are high-speed, high-capacity scales that can help your line get the output you need with accurate weight measurements on EVERY product.
According to General Manager for Scales, Craig Howard, “the Thompson checkweighers are great because they can accurately weigh a lot of product at varying weights and speeds. Many scales out there can give you one or the other.”
