- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 60 to 200 items per minute, depending on product size and weight.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 230V, single-phase electrical supply, often with a compressed air connection for pneumatic components.
- Construction material
- Checkweighers are commonly constructed from painted carbon steel for general industrial use, or stainless steel for food and pharmaceutical applications.
- Load sensor type
- Most checkweighers utilise tensometer (strain gauge) load cells, known for their accuracy and reliability in dynamic weighing.
- Conveyor system
- Typically features multiple conveyor belts, often driven by stepper motors for precise product handling and separation.
- Control system
- Units commonly incorporate a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) for operational control, often with an HMI for user interaction.
