Automatic poultry weighing system during the breeding period

The scales WGJ−W, WGJ−P and WGJ−1, included in the poultry weighing system, are designed for cooperation with a recording panel WGJ−8. Up to 16 different types of scales can be connected to the WGJ-8 system.

Below you will find short descriptions and technical parameters of all types of scales.

 

Hanging scale WGJ−W

Hanging scale WGJ−W is the most often used scale for weighing of hens (broiler and parent flocks) and turkey-hens (it is characterised by a large number of weighings performed in the end period of fattening as compared to other types of scales).

The construction of WGJ−W scale: it is made of stainless steel which guarantees long life of the device, makes maintenance and cleaning easy.

 

Technical data of WGJ−W scale

Measurement range	30 g ÷ 32 kg
Graduation of measurement	1 g
Power supple voltage	12 VDC
Tightness of the weighing module housing	IP 55
Dimensions of the weighing module without hooks and attachments (width × height × thickness)	20 cm × 15 cm × 8 cm
Dimensions of the platform (hexagon)	70 cm (long diagonal)
Height of the scale	min. 185cm (maximum height is limited by the height of the hen house and is adjusted by the length of the chain)
Weight of the scale	approximately 12 kg (without chain)

 

Platform scale WGJ−P

Platform scale WGJ−P is used most often to weigh turkeys.

It is also used in other types of breeding, if it is necessary to move the scale in different place or it is not possible to install the hanging WGJ−W scale.

The base of the scale WGJ−P is made of stainless steel and the platform is made of powder-coated steel.

 

Technical data of WGJ−P scale

Power supply voltage	12 VDC
Measurement range	30 g ÷ 32 kg
Graduation of measurement	1 g
Tightness	IP 55
Dimensions (width × depth × height)	46,5 cm × 41,5 cm × 10,5 cm
Weight	17kg

 

Free standing scale WGJ−1

The WGJ−1 scale is most often used for light and smaller birds, e.g. quails. Its additional advantage is that it can be easily moved to different places. The scale is made of stainless steel and powder-coated steel.

 

Technical data of WGJ−1 scale

Measurement range	30 g ÷ 5 kg
Graduation of measurement	1 g
Power supply voltage	12 VDC
Tightness	IP 55
Dimensions (width × depth × height)	45 cm × 37 cm × 100 cm
