Tubex scale which is developed over a period of two years by Bühler is a revolutionary improvement in weighing technology. The scale which provides top food safety and also at least 90% reduction in energy costs, works without compressed air. Andreas Kleiner’s design team has developed a new concept in which electromagnetic valves are used instead of pneumatic cylinders. Andreas Kleiner said about the new concept, “Conventional scales have the compressed air permanently available, even when the scale is closed. The drive of our new scale generation works in exactly the opposite way. As long as the valve is closed, the electromagnetic drive is off. In addition, the energy which is created when the bottom gate are braked can be recovered with so-called supercapacitors. So, that massively reduced the amount of energy used. Energy costs drop to $60 instead of $10,500 every year.”

Also, the new scale generation from Bühler also impresses with a new, particularly user-friendly control that can also be used with mobile end devices. Thanks to a modern interface, it is best prepared for the needs of IoT.
