Applications & Use Cases

• Ensuring products meet specified weight tolerances in packaging lines.
• Reducing product giveaway and ensuring compliance with weight regulations.
• Used in food processing for quality control of packaged goods.
• Applicable in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for verifying product fill levels.
• Utilised in logistics and distribution for package weight verification prior to dispatch.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities typically range from a few grams up to 50 kg, depending on the specific model and application.

Power supply

Commonly, units of this type operate on standard industrial single-phase (230V) or three-phase (400V) electrical supplies, typically 50Hz.

Throughput

Throughput rates vary significantly, but for a unit with a non-driven roller conveyor, it is typically suited for lower to medium volume lines where manual intervention is part of the process.

Conveyor type

This unit features a non-driven roller conveyor, which means products are manually pushed or gravity-fed across the weighing platform.

Accuracy

Check weighers are designed for high accuracy, typically within +/- 0.1% to 1% of the target weight, depending on the load cell and environmental conditions.

Footprint

The footprint for a check weigher with a non-driven roller conveyor is generally compact, suitable for integration into existing manual or semi-automated lines.
