Millions of euros saved annually:

Thanks to the digital load cells from HBM used by Chinese machine manufacturer Best Crown, it can offer its end customer Shanghai Dairy Milk savings in the millions of euros annually. The numbers are simple. Controlling the filling quantities in Best Crown machines more precisely reduces the "give-away" portion – the safety margin for guaranteeing that the filling weight indicated on the package is reached.

Given a growing domestic middle class with more sophisticated demands plus a host of new export opportunities, China's food industry has been in a strong growth phase for years. Efficiency and reliability in filling and packaging of foodstuffs are at the top of the agenda for end customers and machine manufacturers alike.

Best Crown, a Chinese machine manufacturing company, decided to use the FIT/5 load cell from HBM for a new coconut milk bottling machine – a decision that is paying off.

Both the end customer and the machine manufacturer benefit from these savings. Best Crown Machinery is proud to provide its demanding customer with machines featuring excellent quality which not only operate reliably, but also save money through intelligent selection of components. In this way Best Crown Machinery is developing a significant competitive advantage in the highly competitive packaging machines market.

"Our digital load cells are reliable standard components that are easy to install in machines. With their accuracy and wide range of functions, they can significantly boost efficiency in bottling and packaging of foodstuffs," explains HBM Product Manager for digital weighing technology in China.
