Contact SupplierA checkweigher is an automatic machine for checking the weight of packaged commodities online in dynamic condition. It is normally found at the offgoing end of a production process and is used to ensure that the weight of a pack of the commodity is within specified limits. Any packs that are outside the tolerance are taken out of line automatically.
A checkweigher is a system that weighs items as they pass through a production line, classifies the items by preset weight zones, and ejects or sorts the items based on their classification. Checkweighers weigh 100% of the items on a production line.
Typically, an infeed section, scale section, discharge section, rejecter or line divider, and computerized control comprise the physical checkweighing system. Checkweighers and their components vary greatly according to how they are used, the items being weighed, and the environment surrounding them.
A checkweigher can weigh in excess of maximum items per minute (depending on product size and accuracy requirements).
Checkweighers often incorporate additional checking devices such as metal detectors and X-ray machines to enable other attributes of the pack to be checked and acted upon accordingly.
