OCS HC Checkweigher

• Ensuring compliance with weight regulations in food packaging.
• Minimising product giveaway and optimising fill levels in manufacturing.
• Detecting missing components in assembly lines for quality control.
• Sorting products into different weight categories for specific applications.
• Verifying package completeness in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

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

Units of this type typically handle products from a few grams up to approximately 10 kg, with variations based on specific model configuration.

Accuracy

Commonly, checkweighers like the OCS HC offer an accuracy of +/- 0.1g to +/- 1g, crucial for precise weight control.

Conveyor belt width

Typical belt widths for OCS HC models are between 200mm and 400mm, accommodating a range of product sizes.

Power supply

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

Construction material

The frame and contact parts are typically constructed from stainless steel, suitable for food and pharmaceutical environments.

Footprint

The footprint for an OCS HC checkweigher typically requires approximately 1.0m to 1.5m in length and 0.6m to 0.8m in width, excluding any infeed/outfeed conveyors.

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

  Its primary function is to accurately weigh every product passing over its conveyor, rejecting items that are over or under a pre-set target weight.

• Can this unit integrate with existing production lines?

• What kind of products is the OCS HC suitable for?

• Are spare parts readily available for OCS equipment?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used 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.
