CINTEX CHECK WEIGHER

• Ensuring compliance with weight regulations in pre-packaged food production.
• Minimising product giveaway and optimising fill levels in manufacturing processes.
• Detecting missing components in assembly lines for quality control.
• Sorting products into weight categories for distribution or further processing.
• Verifying carton or case weights before dispatch in logistics operations.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 60 to 300 items per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type is a single-phase 230V AC supply, often with a standard UK 3-pin plug.

Footprint

A checkweigher of this specification typically requires a floor space of approximately 1.5m to 2.5m in length and 0.8m to 1.2m in width, depending on conveyor extensions and reject mechanisms.

Weighing accuracy

Units in this category typically offer accuracy down to +/- 0.5g to +/- 2g, depending on the specific weight range and product stability.

Construction materials

Most industrial checkweighers, especially for food applications, feature stainless steel construction for hygiene and durability.

Reject mechanism

Common reject mechanisms include air blast, push arm, or drop-down conveyors, with a push arm as described being suitable for a range of product types.

• What kind of products can this checkweigher handle?

  This type of checkweigher is generally suitable for a wide range of packaged products, including cartons, pouches, bags, and rigid containers, within its specified weight and dimension limits.

• Is this unit suitable for washdown environments?

• What maintenance is typically required for a checkweigher?

• Can the weight range be adjusted?

• What is the purpose of the lockable reject bin?

Checkweighers are highly valued in food processing for ensuring consistent product weight and regulatory compliance. Buyers typically prioritise machines with reliable weighing accuracy, durable construction, and minimal maintenance requirements. When purchasing used equipment, inspecting calibration history and wear on conveyor components proves essential. Industry sentiment reflects appreciation for their ability to reduce giveaway costs and reject non-conforming products efficiently. Models from established manufacturers generally command confidence. Speed capabilities and integration with existing production lines remain key purchasing considerations for operators.
