Minebea Intec secures multiple awards at Weighing Review Awards

The annual Weighing Review Awards are an indicator of the company ’ s reputation among customers . This year , Minebea Intec managed to confirm its strong performance from previous years : the company came out on top several times in the voting of the international online platform “ Weighing Review ” - no less than four products secured first place .
The Readers ’ Choice Awards from Weighing Review are a new challenge every year : the aim is to win the votes of the readers in a total of 20 categories relating to weighing . In doing so , Minebea Intec had to assert itself against a multitude of international established companies and also new competitors .
“ The four awards at the Weighing Review Awards are the visible result of our consistently good work ,” Willy- Sebastian Metzger , Director Strategy , Business Development & Marketing classifies the final result . “ Especially the renewed victory for our industrial scale Puro , which was introduced last year , shows that we perceive the needs of the customers and supply the market with suitable products ”.
The company , headquartered in Hamburg , Germany , produces weighing and inspection solutions for a wide range of applications worldwide and has also scored with strong products in recent years . These successes have now been confirmed . Nevertheless , there was one flaw : unfortunately , the company was once again denied the title

A good prerequisite for also receiving this award in the coming year is the constant expansion of the product portfolio . In doing so , Minebea Intec not only focuses on the launch of new product categories , such as most recently the two price labelling systems WPL-S and WPL-A , but also delivers strong upgrades for existing products .
For example , Minebea Intec has given its checkweighers with high-precision EMFC load cells a high-speed update : By implementing a new load cell with digital controller , weighing of up to 600 products per minute is possible , and the MID certification obtained allows belt speeds of up to 3 metres per second . In addition , the reduced minimum load means that products weighing as little as five grams can also be weighed verifiably in accordance with all standards .
“ With the high-speed upgrade for our EMFC checkweighers , we are making it clear that our goal is always the optimum ,” Metzger classifies the new load cell . “ For our customers , there will therefore be a lot of exciting news this year - in order to be at the forefront of the awards again .” Metzger also gives an exciting outlook into the future .
