We have been supplying approved systems for years and found the Sartorius usnits to be very cost effective in producing the records necessary for weights and measures

Scale Direct Scotland produces the Reference test software that the weights and measures use in the annual reference testing of your product

SartoPac Basic's clear, self-explanatory display guides the operator reliably through out each step of the program. After receiving brief training, even inexperienced operators can operate the system on their own. Easy-to-understand display prompts make it easy for your operator to control the filling accuracy. Weights and statistical evaluations shown on the graphics display are easy to read even for colour blind users

The Average Quantity System

The average quantity system is designed to replace the minimum weight system for packers producing goods on a volume basis to EEC Average weight packing. All goods packed must be checked accross a scale where the BATCH size is less than 100, however where the BATCH size is greater than 100 then only a small proportion of the packages need be sampled in order to meeet your responsibilities. We can provide systems for both process control or QATesting using a PC if required

Minimum Weight - Each pack must contain at least the quantity marked on the pack. Any weighing/measuring equipment used must be approved for trade use, and should be "stamped". Average System - This differs from the minimum system in that some packs in a group may contain less than the marked quantity as long as 3 packers rules are followed which are

1. On average the packages of the BATCH must be equal to or greater than the nominal quantity i.e. some may be under as long as some are over.

2. The proportion of non-standard packages shall be sufficiently small to satisfy the requirements in the Weights and Measures (Packaged Goods) Regulations 2006. A non-standard package is one which contains the nominal quantity minus the ‘tolerable negative error’. This TNE is calculated in accordance with the regulations

3. No package in the group may be inadequate. An inadequate package is one which contains the nominal quantity minus twice the TNE.

Quality Checks- These must be carried out to ensure the three rules above are being complied with, usually this is on a sample of the batch. The number you need to check depends on the size of the batch.

Anyone wishing to ‘e’ mark packages, import or export them is required to give details to their local Trading Standards Department to ensure they are registered packers and make available their filling process for Reference Testing

SartoPac Basic can check, document and evaluate the accuracy of pre-packaged products fast and reliably. This means you can respond quickly to filling variations and prevent expensive overfilling, while complying with the legal requirements. Moreover, in the SPC mode, you can define your own tolerance limits (-T2/±T2) to control your production process.
