Loma 6000 Checkweigher

• Ensuring products meet specified weight tolerances in food packaging lines.
• Minimising product giveaway and reducing material waste.
• Identifying under-filled or over-filled packages for quality control.
• Complying with weight regulations and trade measurement standards.
• Integrating into automated production lines for continuous weight verification.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 60 to 300 packs per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Weighing accuracy

Units of this type commonly offer accuracy down to +/- 0.5g, suitable for a wide range of packaged goods.

Power supply

Checkweighers commonly operate on a single-phase (230V, 50Hz) or three-phase (400V, 50Hz) electrical supply, with this unit specified as 1ph.

Construction material

Most industrial checkweighers, including Loma units, are constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability, particularly in food processing environments.

Footprint

Overall dimensions for checkweighers typically vary, but units of this type commonly have an overall length around 1000mm to 1500mm and a width around 500mm to 800mm, with the weigh bed being a smaller component within this.

Connectivity

Modern checkweighers often feature Ethernet or serial ports for integration with production line control systems and data logging.
