Loma AS checkweigher

• Ensuring products meet specified weight tolerances in food packaging lines.
• Minimising product giveaway and reducing material waste in manufacturing.
• Verifying complete package contents in pharmaceutical and cosmetic production.
• Sorting products into weight categories for further processing or packaging.
• Detecting missing components in assembly operations by weight verification.

Typical throughput

For this class of checkweigher, throughput commonly ranges from 60 to 300 items per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Weighing accuracy

Units of this type typically offer accuracy from +/- 0.1g to +/- 1g, suitable for a range of product weights.

Power supply

Commonly requires a standard industrial single-phase supply, typically 230V AC, 50Hz.

Construction material

As indicated by the 'stainless frame', units like this are typically constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel, suitable for washdown environments.

Product weight range

Typically handles product weights from a few grams up to several kilograms, depending on the load cell configuration.

Connectivity

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

• What is the purpose of a checkweigher?

  A checkweigher automatically weighs every item that passes over its weigh bed, comparing the weight to pre-set limits to ensure compliance with legal and quality standards.

• How does a checkweigher handle out-of-spec products?

• Is this unit suitable for wet environments?

• What maintenance is typically required for a checkweigher?

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

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.
