- Typical throughput
- For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 60 to 300 packs per minute, depending on product size and weight.
- Weighing range
- Units of this type typically handle products from a few grams up to several kilograms, with specific ranges varying by model.
- Accuracy
- Checkweighers commonly offer accuracy levels of +/- 0.5g to +/- 5g, crucial for compliance and material control.
- Power supply
- Most industrial checkweighers operate on a standard 230V, 50Hz, single-phase supply, with some larger units requiring three-phase.
- Footprint
- The physical footprint for a unit of this type typically ranges from 1m to 2m in length and 0.5m to 1m in width, excluding infeed/outfeed conveyors.
- Construction material
- Commonly constructed from stainless steel (grade 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability, especially in food and pharmaceutical applications.
- Rejection system
- Typically features an integrated rejection system, such as an air blast, pusher, or drop-down conveyor, for out-of-spec products.
- Interface
- Modern units commonly include a touchscreen HMI for easy operation, recipe management, and data logging.
