AJA - SDW-323 Weigher

Applications & Use Cases

• Ensuring packaged food products meet specified weight targets before dispatch.
• Minimising product giveaway and reducing material waste in production lines.
• Identifying under- or overweight products to comply with legal metrology regulations.
• Integrating into automated lines for real-time weight monitoring and rejection of non-conforming items.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 60 to 200 packs per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Weighing accuracy

Units of this type typically offer accuracy within +/- 0.5g to +/- 2g, crucial for compliance and cost control.

Maximum product weight

Commonly, checkweighers like the SDW-323 can handle individual product weights up to 5kg, though heavier duty models exist.

Conveyor belt width

Belt widths typically vary from 200mm to 400mm, accommodating a range of package sizes.
