Optima CC1 Checkweigher

• Ensuring compliance with weight regulations for pre-packaged goods.
• Minimising product giveaway and optimising fill levels in production lines.
• Identifying under- or overweight products for rejection or re-work.
• Monitoring production line efficiency and performance through weight data.
• Integrating into automated packaging lines for quality assurance.

Typical throughput

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

Weight range

Checkweighers of this type commonly handle weight ranges from a few grams up to 1-2 kg.

Accuracy

Accuracy for precision checkweighers is typically in the range of +/- 0.1g to +/- 1g, depending on the application and product.

Construction material

Units designed for food processing environments are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Reject mechanism

Common reject mechanisms include pneumatic blow, pushers, or diverters, suitable for various product types and speeds.

Power supply

Many smaller checkweighers commonly operate on a single-phase electrical supply (e.g., 230V AC).

Footprint

The total length for compact checkweighers is typically between 800mm and 1500mm, with varying weigh platform dimensions.

• What kind of products is this checkweigher suitable for?

  This type of checkweigher is typically suited for smaller, individually packaged food items such as confectionery, sachets, small pouches, or ready meals, within its specified weight range.

• What maintenance is typically required for a used checkweigher?

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

• What are the typical environmental requirements for operating a checkweigher?

• Is calibration necessary after installation?

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.
