Ishida Checkweigher

• Ensuring compliance with weight regulations in food packaging.
• Minimising product giveaway and optimising fill levels in production lines.
• Detecting missing components in assembled products.
• Classifying products into weight categories for further processing or packaging.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 100 to 300 packs per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Weighing accuracy

Units of this type typically offer accuracy down to +/- 0.1g, suitable for a wide range of products.

Product weight range

Commonly, these checkweighers handle products from a few grams up to several kilograms.

Power supply

Typically requires a 230V, single-phase, 50Hz electrical supply.

Construction materials

Units are generally constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability, especially in food processing environments.

Environmental protection

This model designation (WP) suggests a 'washdown protected' design, typically rated to IP65, suitable for wet cleaning regimes.

Footprint

The overall length for a two-belt system of this type is commonly between 1.5m and 2.5m, with widths around 0.8m to 1.2m.

• What is the purpose of a checkweigher?

  A checkweigher automatically weighs every item on a production line, classifying them by weight and rejecting those outside a pre-set tolerance. This ensures product quality and compliance.

• Can this checkweigher integrate with existing production lines?

• What kind of products can this unit handle?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used checkweigher?

• Does 'Sold as Seen' imply any specific risks?

Checkweighers are valued in food processing for reliable weight verification and compliance support. Buyers typically prioritise accuracy, speed, and ease of integration with existing production lines. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration history, mechanical condition, and software functionality proves important. Industry sentiment favours models offering consistent performance, straightforward maintenance, and robust build quality. Durable construction and proven track records across multiple production environments remain key considerations for buyers assessing secondhand equipment.
