Many products are sold by weight or volume; nanograms, milligrams, grains, grams, ounces, pounds, kilograms, liters, cubic centimeters, cubic feet, cubic meters, and other units used for weight and volume are used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, screws and nails, tablets and capsules, candies, and countless other lines of business. Measuring out products is time-consuming. Virtually all companies larger than small businesses that sell products by weight or volume turn to net weight filling machines.
Businesses obviously turn to industrial measuring equipment to save costs, though net weight fillers offer several other benefits.

Industrial applications of weighing machines cut down on quality control costs
Businesses that do not provide customers with custom-made products or services must use standards for quality control to ensure customers’ and management’s expectations are being met. In manufacturing, not all quality control measures are automated; in fact, a majority of them are still reserved for people – some products are more easily measured by machines than others.
Entities in need of accurate dispersions of products are best served by net weight filling machines. They’re also able to lower hiring and management costs by turning towards automated machines.
Products are rarely wasted
Assume a customer purchases a family-sized package of cookies. If the package promises to contain 52 cookies and the customer receives 53, he likely won’t feel very honored about the extra product – he probably won’t even count.
As such, it makes sense for companies to cut down on providing customers extra product unless it’s part of their business plan or of current promotions. While every company should strive to build goodwill in their corporate beings – for example, by giving out extra products on a consistent basis without even telling customers they’re getting more than they purchased is a good dead – providing customers with that 53rd cookie isn’t likely to do anything but lose money.
Any business that isn’t ran out of a basement and does sell countable or measurable products should invest in a net weight filling machine. Its benefits are plenty – there are countless more.
