- Typical capacity
- Checkweighers in this class commonly handle weights from a few grams up to 50 kg, with some specialised units exceeding this.
- Throughput
- For twin-lane checkweighers, throughput can typically range from 60 to 200 packs per minute, depending on product size and weight.
- Power supply
- Units of this type commonly require a 230V, single-phase or 400V, three-phase electrical supply, often with a frequency of 50Hz.
- Accuracy
- Checkweighers are typically accurate to within +/- 0.5g to +/- 5g, depending on the weighing range and product characteristics.
- Footprint
- A twin-lane checkweigher, including infeed and outfeed conveyors, typically requires a linear space of 2 to 4 metres.
- Construction materials
- For food processing applications, units are commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.
- Environmental rating
- Many industrial checkweighers feature an IP (Ingress Protection) rating, typically IP54 or higher, for dust and water resistance.
