Ward Bekker Linear Weigher & Jenco

• Accurate portioning of free-flowing granular or particulate products.
• Packaging of products like coffee beans, nuts, seeds, and small confectionery items.
• Integration into semi-automatic or manual packaging lines for pre-formed bags.
• Use in food processing, pet food, and general industrial sectors requiring precise weight control.

Typical capacity

For this class of single-lane linear weigher, typical throughput can range from 8 to 20 weighments per minute, depending on product characteristics and target weight.

Power supply

Commonly requires a standard industrial electrical supply, typically 230V, single-phase, 50Hz, with a compressed air connection for pneumatic components.

Weighing range

Units of this type are typically suited for target weights from approximately 50g up to 2-3kg, with good accuracy for various product densities.

Footprint

A single-lane linear weigher, especially when paired with an infeed system, typically requires a footprint of around 1.5m x 1.0m, plus space for operator access.

Accuracy

For this type of equipment, accuracy is typically within +/- 0.5% to 2% of the target weight, depending on product consistency and speed settings.

Construction materials

Contact parts are commonly made from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) to meet hygiene standards.

• What is a linear weigher?

  A linear weigher is a type of weighing machine that uses vibrating feeders to move product into a weigh bucket. It's known for its simplicity, reliability, and suitability for free-flowing products.

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.
