OCS HC Checkweigher and Roller Conveyor

• Ensuring product weight compliance in food packaging lines.
• Verifying fill levels for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
• Sorting products by weight for confectionery and snack production.
• Detecting missing components in assembly operations.
• Minimising giveaway and optimising product yield in various industries.

Typical throughput

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

Weighing accuracy

Units of this type commonly offer accuracy down to +/- 0.1g to 0.5g, crucial for regulatory compliance.

Product weight range

Checkweighers like the OCS HC typically handle products from a few grams up to 6kg, though specific models vary.

Power supply

Commonly requires a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase supply, typically 230V or 400V AC, 50Hz.

Conveyor type

This unit includes a roller conveyor, suitable for stable, rigid products such as boxes, trays, or larger pouches.

Footprint

Overall dimensions for units of this type, including the conveyor, vary but typically require a floor space of around 1.5m to 2.5m in length and 0.8m to 1.2m in width.

Construction materials

Typically constructed from stainless steel for contact parts and painted mild steel for the frame, suitable for hygienic environments.

• What is the primary function of an OCS HC Checkweigher?
