Graseby Best Checkweigher

Applications & Use Cases

• Ensuring packaged food products meet specified weight tolerances.
• Reducing product giveaway and ensuring compliance with weight legislation.
• Identifying under- or over-weight products for rework or rejection.
• Integrating into automated production lines for continuous quality control.
• Monitoring production line efficiency and identifying process issues.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 60 to 200 items per minute, depending on product size and stability.

Weighing range

Units of this type commonly handle products from a few grams up to several kilograms. This specific unit is noted for 100g - 500g.

Accuracy

Checkweighers are typically designed for high accuracy, often to +/- 0.5g or better for lighter products, depending on speed and product characteristics.

Construction material

Units for food processing are almost exclusively constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability, as noted for this unit.

Power supply

Commonly 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) and often requires a compressed air supply for reject mechanisms.

Reject mechanism

Pneumatic blow reject systems are common for lightweight products, offering fast and efficient removal of non-conforming items.

Footprint

Overall length for a unit of this type is commonly around 1.5m to 2m, with the weigh platform being a key determinant of product size handling.
