admin — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 19:25:48 +0000

Looking to make a little more money on each transaction at the farmers market or produce stand? Then, take a look at our CAS S2000JR Price Computing scale with dual range capacity. The dual range capacity of this legal for trade scale can make you a little extra cash on each transaction. Lets see how.

In this case we will look at the traditional standard 30 x 0.01 lb scale versus the 0-15 x 0.005 lb / 15-30 lb x 0.01 lb dual range CAS Model. We’ll weigh the same item and it will have the same price per pound. See example below.

Standard ……………………………………… CAS S2000JR
0.01 scale……………………………………. 0.005 lb scale
$8.99 ……… Price Per Pound …………….. $8.99
0.90 lb …….. Weight registered ………….. 0.905 lb
$8.09 ….. Amount Your Customer Pays….. $8.14
——————————————————————————-
Result: 5 cents extra on this transaction

Now, multiply your 5 cents by 100 transactions a day = $5
Finally, multiply your $5 gain per day times 365 days = $1825

With this example, you can easily see how a dual range scale can provide you with higher accuracy and put a lot more money in your pocket.

Nutrition Facts To Appear on Labels of Popular Meat and Poultry Products

admin — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 04:09:47 +0000

There will soon be a new rule regarding an integral part of USDA’s efforts to educate consumers about nutrition. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced recently that it will be making important nutritional information readily available to consumers on 40 of the most popular cuts of meat and poultry products. Under a new rule, packages of ground or chopped meat and poultry will feature nutrition facts panels on their labels. Additionally, whole, raw cuts of meat and poultry will also have nutrition facts panels either on their package labels or available for consumers at the point-of-purchase. The nutrition facts panels will include the number of calories and the grams of total fat and saturated fat a product contains. FSIS does not believe that it has underestimated the costs of the final rule. Since the Supplemental Proposed Rule Regulatory Impact Analysis was done, the total costs of labeling may have even decreased because of more cost-effective technology, such as less expensive computerized flexography and scale-label printers. The additional costs of labeling would be relatively low for the affected businesses. One trade association and the food marketing organization asserted that allowing the use of point-of-purchase materials will reduce the financial burden on retailers and benefit consumers. However, others state that FSIS underestimated the cost of providing nutrition labels on ground and chopped products and believe FSIS did not account for the number of retailers that would have to buy new printer or scale systems at the store level.

Capacity and Readability

What capacity do I need? My old scale had a 30 lb capacity, do I need a 30 lb capacity on my new model? What does the 0.01 lb mean?

These are just a few of the questions that folks ask when purchasing a retail price computing scale. Basically, the easiest thing to do is determine what is the typical weight amount you are going to be weighing. For most people that amount usually falls well below 30 pounds. However, there are times when you may need a larger capacity like 60 pounds. When that happens, it’s great to have a scale like the CAS S2000 JR price computing scale. The 60 lb model features a 60 lb max capacity with 0.02 lb readability. However, this same scale also features the same readability up to 30 lbs that a typical retail scale with 30 lb. capacity would have, 0.01 lbs. So, you get the best of both worlds in one scale.
