UWE - Universal Weight Electronics Scales

Applications & Use Cases

• Used for verifying the weight of packaged food items to ensure compliance with legal requirements and minimise giveaway.
• Integrated into production lines to sort products by weight, rejecting under or overweight items.
• Applied in quality control processes to monitor filling accuracy and identify trends in production.
• Utilised for portion control in food preparation, ensuring consistent product sizing.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from a few grams up to 60 kg, depending on the specific model and application.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on standard single-phase industrial power, commonly 230V, 50Hz in the UK.

Throughput

Throughput rates for checkweighers can vary significantly, often ranging from 30 to over 300 items per minute, depending on product size and accuracy requirements.

Accuracy

Typical accuracy for checkweighers in food processing is often within +/- 0.1g to +/- 5g, depending on the weight range and product characteristics.

Construction materials

Components in contact with food are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Connectivity

Many modern checkweighers offer connectivity options such as Ethernet or serial ports for data logging and integration with production management systems.
