Sorting for the Packer

• FAST II accurately selects the heaviest pigs for market.  The scale estimates a sort weight, based on the last 24-hour history, to sort the heaviest pigs into the sell pen. Many systems require the operator to guess a sort weight. If the guess is too low, the load may get filled before the heaviest pigs cross the scale. If the guess is too high, the load may not get filled by the time the truck arrives.
   
• FAST II can be programmed to periodically drop the sort weight.  Perhaps the original sort weight is 250# to establish a 180-pig load. If the load has not been filled by a specific time before shipping, the scale can be programmed to adjust the sort weight to a lower number to ensure the full load.
