A Qurban share scale is a multi-pan weighing stand used to divide the meat of a sacrificed cow or bull equally among the people who share it. It has seven pans side by side on a wheeled frame, each with its own digital display.

Weighing seven shares one after another on a single scale takes time and easily leads to mix-ups. With a share scale, the butcher spreads the cut meat across the pans and sees the weight of every share on its own display at the same time. Meat is added to a pan that is short and taken from one that is over, so the shares are evened out quickly. This equipment is also known as a share scale or a Qurban share scale.
This scale is the last step of the slaughter line. The animal is lifted with a slaughter hoist, skinned with a hide puller and cut up with a bone saw. The scale then weighs the cut meat and shares it out. So these machines do not replace each other, they are different steps of the same line. To plan the slaughter area as a whole, see our guide on choosing a slaughter hoist.
If money changes hands based on the weighing result, for example when meat is sold by the kilo, the scale may need to be approved and stamped for trade use and inspected at set intervals. These requirements depend on how the scale is used. Before buying, we recommend checking with the relevant authority or the scale manufacturer which rules apply to your business.
The main factors that set the price are the number of pans, the capacity and precision of each pan, the display type, the frame and pan material, the wheels and whether the scales are approved for trade use. Just tell us how many shares you work with and where you slaughter on WhatsApp.
Place the scale on level ground and lock the wheels. Zero the empty pans before weighing starts. Put the meat down gently instead of dropping it, because impacts can damage the load cells. When cleaning, do not spray water directly onto the displays or electrical connections, and follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions.
Up to seven people can share one head of cattle for Qurban, so each share gets its own pan. All shares are weighed at the same time, and the butcher follows each one on its own display while evening out the meat.
The pan capacity varies by model. When choosing, think about the largest amount of meat that one share will get and make sure the pan can take it with room to spare. Tell us the approximate weight of the animals you slaughter and we will suggest a suitable model.
If meat will be sold by the kilo, or if a fee will be charged based on the weight, the scale may need to be approved and stamped for trade use. These requirements depend on how the scale is used, so we recommend checking with the relevant authority before you buy.
Wipe the pans and frame with a suitable cleaning agent after each use and dry them. Do not spray water directly onto the displays or cables. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the pan material and the level of water protection.
It can, but weighing seven shares one after another takes a long time and it is harder to keep track of how much each share has. On a share scale all shares are visible at once, so evening them out is much faster.
