Replacing a Legacy Mettler Toledo Batching System with a B-TEK Solution

By Brechbuhler Scales | September 3, 2025
A batching system replacement is often the most cost-effective path forward once an aging control platform starts to fail. An aging Mettler Toledo or Rice Lake batching system tends to fail in the same predictable ways: unreliable performance, no support from the original manufacturer, and rising maintenance costs as parts get harder to find. That…

Fort Wayne Team Installs In-Motion Check-Weigher System

By Brechbuhler Scales | August 26, 2025
Our Fort Wayne branch recently completed the first of two automated in-motion check-weigher installations for a customer’s production line. Unlike a static scale, an in-motion check-weigher captures accurate product weights while items move along a conveyor or process line, which avoids the production slowdown of stopping to weigh each item and gives real-time data for…
