OCS 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.
• Facilitating compliance with weight-related regulations and standards.
• Sorting products into different weight categories for specific applications.

Typical throughput

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

Weighing accuracy

Units of this type typically offer accuracy within +/- 0.5g to 2g, crucial for precise weight control.

Product weight range

Commonly, these checkweighers can handle products from a few grams up to several kilograms.

Conveyor belt width

Typical belt widths for the HC series accommodate a range of package sizes, commonly between 150mm and 400mm.

Power supply

Units typically require a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase supply, commonly 230V or 400V, 50Hz.

Construction material

For food processing applications, units are commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Integration capabilities

Checkweighers often feature interfaces for integration with upstream and downstream packaging machinery, such as metal detectors or cartoners.

• What is the typical lifespan of a used OCS Checkweigher?

  With proper maintenance, OCS checkweighers are robust and can offer many years of reliable service. The actual lifespan depends on usage intensity and maintenance history.

• Can this checkweigher handle different product types?

• What kind of maintenance does an OCS Checkweigher require?

• Is spare parts availability an issue for a used unit?

• What are the common causes of downtime for checkweighers?

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.
