The Agr International Precision Digital Balance (System Order Code: 2501232 / Dedicated RS-232 Cable: 2014270) is certified, tested, and distributed by Agr International, Inc. (United States) – the internationally recognized global benchmark in container inspection, dimensional metrology, and physical strength testing instrumentation. Specifically selected and configured to satisfy the strict weight verification protocols of the container packaging industry, this digital balance provides an agile, reliable laboratory and at-the-line testing instrument engineered to evaluate container material distribution and total mass.

A fundamental quality protocol enabled by the Agr Digital Balance is Sectional Weight Distribution Analysis—a critical operating requirement in commercial PET and recycled PET (rPET) container manufacturing. When paired with the Agr Hot Wire Bottle Cutter C510, blow-molded bottles are cleanly sectioned into predefined vertical zones: the finish and shoulder, body/label panel, and base. Technicians deploy the Agr Digital Balance to precisely quantify the mass of each individual section. This data provides immediate feedback on resin distribution across the container profile, detecting improper material migration or thin sidewalls and allowing operators to quickly recalibrate blowmolder oven heating profiles and stretch rod timings.

The Agr Digital Balance provides an expansive weighing capacity of up to 5,100 g (5.1 kg) with a crisp 0.1 g resolution (with high-sensitivity options available), driven by a precision digital loadcell delivering ultra-fast stabilization times of 1 to 2 seconds. The unit incorporates a rugged, corrosion-resistant stainless-steel weighing pan and a high-contrast backlit LCD screen for optimal visibility across diverse ambient factory lighting. Most importantly, the balance is supplied with a dedicated RS-232 serial interface cable (Part No: 2014270), enabling automatic, error-free digital data streaming directly into plant computers, label printers, or the automated Agr Process Pilot® blowmolder control ecosystem and plant SPC networks. The Agr Digital Balance represents an indispensable metrological asset for blowmolding facilities, beverage bottling conglomerates, and accredited packaging materials testing laboratories.
