"Our S-4 has been incredible and absolutely trouble-free for 10 years. We've run hundreds of thousands of pounds of coffee through it."

"The machine is fantastic--very quiet."
Jack Ginsberg
"We use it every day--a real work horse!"
George Walmsley, KM Custom Pack
"I just want to say thank you for producing such a great machine! The S4 has improved our efficiency probably 500%. We went from a cobbled up machine we built in house to this unit, and now we don't have to worry about it breaking down in critical production times. The price is very reasonable for what you get. I had a little sticker shock until I researched what is out there on the market. Your machine is worth every penny. We soon will be purchasing another with the confidence that we can take on more customers and fulfill their orders in a timely manner."

Our scales fill a wide range of dry products, including coffee and tea, herbs and spices, snack foods, grains, nuts and legumes, candy, pet food, pasta, frozen foods, and non-food items. You can watch real products running on our machines in our Sample Videos.
Every scale is built, tested and shipped from Charlotte, Vermont, where we’ve been building weigh and fill machines since 1994. Purchased components come from American manufacturers.
Product contact surfaces are laser-cut, TIG-welded 304 stainless steel, and the frame is powder-coated square tubing built for years of daily use.
No. Every scale ships fully assembled and ready to run. The Logical Controller II learns your product and adjusts itself during each fill, so there’s no complicated programming.
The controller is modular and plug-and-play. If it ever needs replacing, a new one can be shipped overnight so you’re back up and running quickly.
It depends on your product, bag sizes and volume. Our “Which Scale is right for me?” page compares the S-4, S-5, S-6 and S-7, or you can call us at 802-425-2888 for a recommendation.
Yes. Send us a sample through our Product Testing Submission Form and we’ll run it on our machines and share the results.
Every system is quoted based on your products and bag sizes. Call us at 802-425-2888 or use our contact form for a custom quote.
