Food Processing & Packaging

The food processing and packaging industry requires measurement instruments that combine precision with hygiene. Load cells in food production must withstand daily washdowns, resist corrosive cleaning chemicals, and operate reliably in high-moisture environments — all while maintaining weighing accuracy.

JRAGRAU manufactures food-grade load cells in stainless steel with IP67 protection, designed for integration into filling machines, checkweighers, batching systems, and packaging lines across the food and FMCG sectors.

Beyond production weighing, our testing machines help packaging engineers verify seal strength, peel adhesion, and film tensile properties to ensure product protection and shelf life compliance.

Accurate weighing is fundamental to food production — from ingredient batching to finished product verification. JRAGRAU provides load cells optimized for food industry applications:

Platform and floor scales — Single-ended shear beam load cells for ingredient weighing stations, with IP67 stainless steel construction for daily washdown.

Hopper and vessel weighing — Compression and shear beam cells for batch weighing of liquids, powders, and granular materials.

Checkweigher integration — High-speed load cells for in-line checkweighing systems that verify fill weights at production speed.

Belt conveyor weighing — S-Type and shear beam cells for continuous weighing of products on conveyor systems.

All our food industry cells use hermetically sealed stainless steel housings that resist cleaning chemicals including NaOH and citric acid solutions.

Food packaging must protect the product from contamination, moisture, and physical damage while maintaining brand presentation. Testing packaging materials and seal integrity is essential:

Seal strength testing — Load cells measure the force required to peel or burst flexible packaging seals per ASTM F88.

Film tensile testing — UTMs with low-force load cells characterize the mechanical properties of packaging films, laminates, and foils.

Closure torque testing — Torque sensors verify bottle cap tightness for beverages and sauces, ensuring proper seal without consumer difficulty.

Compression testing — Corrugated box compression strength for stacking and transport survival.

JRAGRAU provides both standalone testing machines and integration-ready sensors for packaging quality labs.
