BSW Hygienic Scale – The Expert for Weight Loss Monitoring in Drying Processes
The BSW hygienic scale is a specially designed, stainless steel weighing system developed for the precise and reliable monitoring of weight loss in meat products, especially sausages, during the drying process. This equipment is a key tool for achieving the optimal product point, ensuring quality consistency, and complying with legal metrological requirements.
Key Features and Advantages
The BSW scale offers outstanding performance and hygienic conditions, tailored to the demands of modern food production:
Weight Loss Monitoring and Quality Assurance
BSW enables reliable monitoring of sausage weight loss during the drying cycle. This function is essential for achieving the product's optimal condition and flavor profile, guaranteeing that every production batch meets strict quality specifications. Continuous weight tracking minimizes the risk of overdrying or underdrying.
Hygienic Design for Food Industry Environments
The entire scale
made of AISI 304 stainless steel , which provides excellent resistance to corrosion and frequent cleaning procedures. It is specifically designed for cutting rooms, processing areas, and industrial kitchens where adherence to strict hygiene regulations is paramount. It is easy to clean and suitable for continuous, high-demand use.
OIML Approval and Duty-Free Metrology
BSW has
OIML approval, meaning it is suitable for legal metrological applications. This ensures the reliability and repeatability of measurements in processes where weight data directly influences quality control, product valuation, and full traceability.
Connectivity and Data Management
The system is ready for the integration of advanced data management solutions:
-
Giscale Software Compatibility: BSW integrates seamlessly with Giropès Giscale software, allowing for the recording of weight data, execution of periodic sampling, and analysis of weight loss trends throughout the entire drying process.
-
Network Connection: Optionally extendable with Ethernet or Wi-Fi communication systems, which enable data logging, remote supervision, and simpler data retrieval. Data can be exported in PDF, XLS, or CSV format for complete documentation.

Structural Details and Installation
The BSW scale features a robust, floor-standing design that ensures stability and easy access for hanging the items to be dried.
-
Installation: Floor-mounted design.
-
Mobility and Stability: The structure is equipped with two wheels and two adjustable feet, allowing for positioning, while the feet ensure perfect horizontal leveling and stability for precise measurement.
-
Hanging Capacity: The design offers a hook height of 1400 mm and a hook distance of 530 mm, ideally for hanging standard sausage rods (with a maximum diameter of Ø25 mm). The system is set up for hanging the rod (rod not included).
Indicators and User Interface
The display and processing of measurement data is performed by the selected indicator:
-
GI400i Indicator (Basic): Stainless steel housing with IP68 protection rating, guaranteeing dust and water resistance in wet or humid environments.
-
GI410i Indicator (Optional): With an LCD display and IP69K protection, which offers the highest level of protection against high-pressure water jets.
Both displays feature a 6-digit, 40 mm high LCD. Optionally, an 8-color display is also available, which can be used as a checkweigher function to speed up visual quality control.
Certificates and Standards
The BSW complies with the most important European and international standards, ensuring product quality and compliance for commercial trade:
-
CE Certificates: Available from 3 kg up to 60 kg capacity.
-
ENAC Calibrations: Available from 5 kg up to 60 kg capacity, which is required for certified measurements.
Giscale Software Integration – Full Traceability
The BSW scale expresses its full potential by working together with the
Giscale software. This software ensures comprehensive data management in every phase of the drying process:
-
Data Logging: Recording every measurement assigned to the production batch.
-
Trend Analysis: Enables visual analysis of weight loss curves, aiding in process optimization.
-
Audit Trail: The exportability of data (PDF, XLS, CSV) ensures full traceability and compliance with regulatory requirements.
The BSW hygienic scale is the ideal choice for any food processing company that wishes to monitor the weight loss of dried products with the highest accuracy and hygiene standards.
