Combination scales are an essential machine for many companies’ packaging lines. These scales are able to weigh out different components of product and package them into the same container or bag. Combination weighers facilitate the process of packaging a combined assortment of goods into the same package, so it’s important to use one that does so efficiently. In the packaging machinery industry, there are a number of companies that manufacture these machines. Learn more about some of the leading manufacturers before you make your decision on which to buy.

Bilwinco has been a market leader in weighing and packaging industries since 1955 and is headquartered in Denmark. The company also develops and builds custom-made solutions for its clients.

Combi is another company known for its high-quality scales and weighers.
