- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, units commonly handle items from a few grams up to 50kg, with the listed unit specifically noting 5kg to 50kg.
- Power supply
- Checkweighers typically operate on standard industrial single-phase (230V) or three-phase (400V) electrical supplies, 50Hz.
- Throughput
- Throughput rates vary significantly by model, typically ranging from 30 to over 300 items per minute, depending on product size and accuracy requirements.
- Accuracy
- Accuracy for this type of equipment is commonly within +/- 0.5g to +/- 50g, depending on the weighing range and application.
- Construction materials
- Units in food processing environments are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Footprint
- The footprint for checkweighers can vary, but typically ranges from 1m to 2.5m in length and 0.5m to 1m in width, excluding any infeed/outfeed conveyors.
- Connectivity
- Modern units commonly feature Ethernet, USB, or serial (RS-232/485) ports for data logging and integration with factory management systems.
