Easiweigh Checkweigher

• Ensuring products meet specified weight targets in food packaging lines.
• Verifying fill levels for pharmaceutical products to maintain compliance.
• Controlling giveaway and reducing material waste in manufacturing processes.
• Classifying products by weight into different categories for sorting.
• Detecting missing components in assembled products by total weight.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 60 to 300 packs per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Weighing range

Units of this type typically handle products from a few grams up to several kilograms, with specific ranges varying by model.

Accuracy

Checkweighers commonly offer accuracy levels of +/- 0.5g to +/- 5g, crucial for compliance and material control.

Power supply

Most industrial checkweighers operate on a standard 230V, 50Hz, single-phase supply, with some larger units requiring three-phase.

Footprint

The physical footprint for a unit of this type typically ranges from 1m to 2m in length and 0.5m to 1m in width, excluding infeed/outfeed conveyors.

Construction material

Commonly constructed from stainless steel (grade 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability, especially in food and pharmaceutical applications.

Rejection system

Typically features an integrated rejection system, such as an air blast, pusher, or drop-down conveyor, for out-of-spec products.

Interface

Modern units commonly include a touchscreen HMI for easy operation, recipe management, and data logging.

• What is the primary function of a checkweigher?

  A checkweigher automatically weighs every item passing over its conveyor, comparing the weight to pre-set upper and lower limits to ensure products are within tolerance.

• Can this unit be integrated into an existing production line?

• What kind of products can an Easiweigh Checkweigher handle?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used checkweigher?

• Does a used checkweigher require recalibration?

• What safety features are commonly found on these machines?

Checkweighers are valued in food processing for reliable weight verification and compliance support. Buyers typically prioritise accuracy, speed, and ease of integration with existing production lines. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration history, mechanical condition, and software functionality proves important. Industry sentiment favours models offering consistent performance, straightforward maintenance, and robust build quality. Durable construction and proven track records across multiple production environments remain key considerations for buyers assessing secondhand equipment.
