Quick Comparison of Hamer 100GW and Hamer Model HGB
Choosing between the Hamer 100GW and Hamer Model HGB depends on your specific needs and priorities. Here’s a quick comparison to help you decide:
Operation:
- 100GW: Electronic. The scale automatically weighs the product and stops filling when the desired weight is reached
- HGB: Manual. The operator pulls a lever to open the gate and fill the bag. Weight is controlled by adjusting the filling time
Speed:
- 100GW: Up to 16 bags per minute
- HGB: Varies depending on the operator
Accuracy:
- 100GW: +/- 2 ounces
- HGB: +/- 4 ounces
Versatility:
- 100GW: Limited to small/medium bags
- HGB: Handles a wide range of bag sizes and weights
Dust Control:
- 100GW: Optional dust collection system
- HGB: Minimal
Ease of Use:
- 100GW: Simple push-button operation
- HGB: Requires training and manual operation
Maintenance:
- 100GW: Minimal maintenance
- HGB: Regular calibration and service required
Cost comparison:
- 100GW: More expensive
- HGB: More affordable
Choosing the right Hamer scale for your needs:
- 100GW is ideal for: High-volume operations; precise filling requirements; dust control concerns; ease of use; minimal maintenance
- HGB is ideal for: Low-volume operations; tight budgets; manual bag handling; simple weighing needs
- Material being weighed: Both scales can handle dry goods, but the 100GW may be better suited for fine or dusty materials
- Desired level of automation: If you need a quick and efficient filling process, the 100GW is the better choice
- Budget: The 100GW will save you time and labor in the long run, but the HGB is a more affordable option
