COLO.SCIENCE — HIGH-CAPACITY PRECISION AND COUNTING BALANCES
Precision balance for packaging, parts counting and process control
The DECO3 production control balance is intended for users who need more than a conventional laboratory balance. It is designed for product weighing, batch preparation, packaging control, checkweighing and repetitive weighing tasks in production environments. The large platform, fast stabilization, touchscreen operation and production-oriented weighing modes make DECO3 suitable for direct use at a workstation.
DECO3 is especially useful when products, components or packages must be weighed up to 3 kg with 0.01 g readability, checked against target limits, counted by reference weight or documented through optional printer and communication accessories.
Key features
- 3000 g capacity with 0.01 g readability for precise weighing of small and medium batches.
- 7″ capacitive touchscreen for weighing modes, product control and data handling.
- Parts counting mode for packaging, kitting, small components and quantity control.
- Min/max checkweighing for product weight control against defined limits.
- Percentage weighing for deviation checks against a reference value.
- Internal calibration for stable weighing performance and simplified daily operation.
Suitable for
- Production weight control and process weighing.
- Packaging of raw materials, finished products and semi-finished products.
- Parts counting based on reference piece weight.
- Incoming goods inspection and batch preparation.
- Product code, barcode workflow and optional printing configurations.
- Food, pharmaceutical, chemical, technical, electronic and small-parts production.

Product weighing, parts counting and packaging control
Product-based control
DECO3 supports production-style weighing workflows where one balance is used for multiple products, batches or packaging formats. Operators can work with target values, upper and lower limits and percentage deviation from a reference value.
Counting balance for small parts
The parts counting mode uses the reference weight of one piece to calculate the quantity placed on the weighing platform. This is practical for screws, connectors, caps, small parts, packaging elements and order kitting.
Optional result printing
With a suitable thermal printer, DECO3 can become part of a simple documentation workflow for weighing, checkweighing and packaging control. Print layout and recorded fields should be confirmed during configuration.
PRODUCTION WORKFLOW
Touchscreen menu for weighing, limits, counting and printing
DECO3 production control balance is not only a scale with a mass display. The touchscreen interface supports tare, zero, parts counting, percentage weighing, check limits and optional result printing.
This workflow is useful when an operator needs to quickly check package weight, count parts or verify product deviation without additional manual calculations.
Where does DECO3 fit best?
Production control
As a production control balance, DECO3 is used for checking product weight, semi-finished goods, dosing and working batches up to 3000 g.
Packaging and kitting
0.01 g readability helps with packaging control, filling, declared weight checks and kitting of sets with multiple small components.
Parts counting
DECO3 can operate as a counting balance when the reference weight of one part is known, making it useful for small-parts counting and quantity-based packaging.
Incoming goods inspection
The balance is suitable for incoming inspection of raw materials, samples, components and products where higher capacity and fine readability are required.
When to choose DECO3 instead of DECO4 or DECO5?
The DECO3 production control balance is the right choice when products, packages or batches are usually within the 3000 g range and the user needs 0.01 g readability. It is suitable for small and medium items, fine components, additives, samples, smaller containers and packaging where good resolution is important.
If products frequently exceed 3 kg, DECO4 or DECO5 models from the same series should be considered. For larger loads of 10, 20 or 30 kg, DECO models with 0.1 g readability are available. COLO.Science can help select the correct model according to maximum load, required readability, counting workflow, barcode use, printing and data communication requirements.

COLO.Science develops technical guides, application notes and product selection support for equipment used in quality control, laboratories and production processes.
Optional printing and integration into production workflow
DECO3 can be configured for use with an optional printer and communication accessories. This is useful when weighing results need to be linked with a product, batch, acceptance limits or an internal production control record.
Before ordering, confirm whether the workflow requires only display and manual recording, printed reports, barcode identification, PC communication or a specific data format for production documentation.
