Loma CW3 Checkweigher

• Ensuring packaged food products meet specified weight tolerances.
• Reducing product giveaway and improving yield in production lines.
• Identifying under- or overweight packages for rejection or rework.
• Maintaining compliance with weights and measures regulations.
• Integrating into automated packaging lines for continuous quality control.

Typical throughput

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

Weighing range

Loma CW3 units typically handle products from a few grams up to approximately 6-7 kg, with precision varying by model configuration.

Accuracy

Accuracy for checkweighers of this type is commonly around +/- 0.5g to +/- 2g, depending on product stability and line speed.

Reject mechanism

Units like the Loma CW3 commonly feature ram, air-blast, or pusher reject mechanisms for removing non-conforming products.

Power supply

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

Construction material

Most food-grade checkweighers, including the CW3, are constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Connectivity

Commonly includes Ethernet or serial ports for data logging and integration with factory management systems.

• What kind of products is a Loma CW3 checkweigher suitable for?

  A Loma CW3 checkweigher is typically suitable for a wide range of packaged food products, including bags, cartons, trays, and rigid containers, particularly in the mid-weight range.

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

• What maintenance is typically required for a used checkweigher?

• Is calibration necessary for a used checkweigher?

• What safety features are typically present on a 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.
