Expert Machinery Manufacturing for Weighing Equipment
When accuracy and efficiency matter, purpose-built machinery makes all the difference. Wide Bay Scales specialises in designing and manufacturing custom weighing equipment that fits seamlessly into your operations. We produce robust machinery such as batch weighers, lab scale hoppers and dual baggers that provide long-term precision for both trade and non-trade applications.
Our own batch weigher design has become a trusted standard throughout the macadamia industry, offering dependable weighing for businesses that must meet regulatory compliance. Whether you need a single unit or a complete system, our manufacturing service ensures each machine is built for durability, consistent results and easy integration with your existing processes.
Customisable Industrial Scales and Weighing Equipment
No two businesses operate exactly alike, and your weighing equipment should reflect your unique requirements. At Wide Bay Scales, we work closely with you to design or modify machinery to suit your specific production line or workflow. We can adjust capacity, dimensions, automation features and control systems to match your products and environment.
From food processors who need hygienic, easy-to-clean machinery to manufacturers requiring heavy-duty batch weighers, our team creates solutions that enhance productivity while meeting safety and compliance standards. The result is equipment that fits perfectly, improves efficiency and reduces the need for future modifications.
Equipment Upgrades and Retrofitting for Weighing Systems
Older machinery can lose accuracy or struggle to keep up with changing production demands. Wide Bay Scales offers complete upgrade and retrofitting services to modernise your weighing equipment without the expense of a full replacement. We replace worn components, integrate automation technology and add digital features that improve efficiency and reliability.
Upgrades can also help you meet new regulatory requirements or adapt to different products and processes. Whether you need to incorporate weighing automation, improve data recording or boost overall accuracy, our technicians ensure every enhancement maintains trade-approved measurements and long-term performance.
Professional Machinery Recommendations for Compliance
Selecting the right weighing equipment is crucial for both productivity and legal compliance. Our experienced team assesses your current setup, future growth plans and industry standards to recommend the best machinery for your needs. We explain the benefits of different options—such as our custom batch weighers or advanced retrofitting solutions—so you can make an informed decision that protects your investment.
By following our recommendations, you can be confident your equipment will deliver consistent results while meeting Australian trade measurement laws. Our goal is to provide not just machinery but a long-term solution that supports your business as it evolves.
