The scales come with a winch so that the height can easily be adjusted according to the birds’ size and age. For cleaning with a highpressure washer, the scales can be...

FlexScale 2 The mobile poultry scales FlexScale 2 are mobile poultry scales with a large touchscreen. The scales can be suspended from a robust eyelet, allowing the operator to use both hands to catch the birds.

The display immediately shows not only the bird weight, but also minimum/maximum weights, the average weight and the uniformity. A series of measurements taken with FlexScale 2 can be assigned to different flocks and houses. All data can be analysed in detail at the PC using the...
