Linemaster - Marco Scales

Applications & Use Cases

• Used in food production lines to verify product weight against a target, ensuring compliance with packaging regulations.
• Essential for quality control, identifying under- or overweight products to minimise waste and maintain brand reputation.
• Integrated into automated systems for sorting products based on weight, often before final packaging.
• Applied in pharmaceutical and chemical industries for precise weight verification of packaged goods.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, checkweighers typically handle product weights ranging from a few grams up to 10-25 kg, depending on the model and application.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a standard industrial power supply of 230V, 50Hz, single-phase is typical, though some higher-capacity or integrated systems may require three-phase.

Throughput

Throughput rates for digital checkweighers can vary significantly, typically ranging from 60 to 300 items per minute, influenced by product size and desired accuracy.

Accuracy

Units of this type commonly offer weighing accuracy in the range of ±0.1g to ±2g, critical for meeting legal metrology requirements.

Construction materials

Typically, the product contact parts and frame are constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Footprint

The footprint for a standalone checkweigher can vary, but typically ranges from 1000mm to 2000mm in length and 500mm to 1000mm in width, depending on conveyor length and control panel integration.
