Digital Readout Does Not Match the Floor Scale
Depending on which controller the equipment is equipped with, the Thompson Controller we
use, has a feature called offset compensation which allows you to adjust the packer scale to
the floor scale. The Avery and the Rice Lake do not. On those controllers all you can do is
adjust the dribble –for how fast you are filling, target weight or Preact.
