Ishida Checkweigher

• Ensuring products meet specified weight tolerances in food packaging lines.
• Verifying count by weight for small components in manufacturing.
• Detecting missing items in multi-component packs.
• Classifying products into weight grades for further processing or packaging.
• Monitoring production line efficiency and identifying over/under-filling issues.

Typical throughput

For this class of Ishida checkweigher, throughput can typically range from 100 to 300 packs per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Weighing accuracy

Units of this type commonly offer accuracy down to +/- 0.1g to 0.5g, critical for compliance and waste reduction.

Power supply

Typically requires a standard industrial single-phase supply, commonly 230V AC, 50Hz, with a modest power consumption.

Footprint

The overall length of a DACS-W series checkweigher with two belts, as described, would typically be between 1.5m and 2.5m, with a width of approximately 0.6m to 0.8m.

Product weight range

Checkweighers in this series are commonly suited for products ranging from a few grams up to 5kg, depending on the specific load cell configuration.

Construction materials

Units are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability, especially for washdown environments (indicated by 'WP' in the model number).

• What does 'DACS-W' signify in the model number?

  DACS-W typically indicates an Ishida Data Acquisition Checkweigher system designed for wet environments or washdown applications, offering enhanced ingress protection.

• What is the significance of the belt dimensions provided?

• Can this unit be integrated into an existing production line?

• What kind of maintenance is typically required for this equipment?

• What does 'Sold as Seen' imply for a used checkweigher?

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.
