Aja Multi Weigher

Applications & Use Cases

• Precisely weighing individual food products to ensure compliance with weight regulations and minimise giveaway.
• Integrating into automated packaging lines for accurate portion control of items like snacks, confectionery, and frozen foods.
• Checking the weight of packaged goods to detect underfills or overfills before dispatch.
• Sorting products into different weight categories for further processing or packaging.
• Used in various food sectors including bakery, dairy, meat, poultry, and fresh produce.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Checkweighers in this class typically handle products ranging from a few grams up to several kilograms, with throughputs commonly between 60 to 300 packs per minute depending on product size and accuracy requirements.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on standard industrial power, typically 230V, 50Hz, single-phase, though some higher-capacity models may require three-phase.

Accuracy

For this class of equipment, accuracy is typically high, often within +/- 0.5g to +/- 5g, depending on the product and desired throughput.

Construction materials

Commonly constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) to meet food hygiene standards and ensure durability in washdown environments.

Footprint

The footprint for checkweighers varies, but typically ranges from 1.0m to 2.5m in length and 0.5m to 1.0m in width, depending on the conveyor length and control panel integration.

Connectivity

Modern units commonly feature Ethernet or serial ports for integration with production line control systems and data logging.

Environmental rating

Typically rated to IP65 or higher, indicating suitability for washdown and dusty environments common in food processing.
