Checkweigher | High Speed & Inline System Suppliers

Static checkweighers and dynamic checkweighers are the most commonly used options, though custom checkweighers can also be created for specific assembly lines.

Commonly known as manual checkweighers, static checkweighers are used to weigh packages that are in a static state. 

Dynamic checkweighers, on the other hand, control the weight of moving packages. They can be connected with automated systems to reject packages that don’t meet quality standards

Below are some important factors to consider before purchasing a checkweigher. 

• Type: As mentioned earlier, there are different types of checkweighers. Not all checkweighers can be connected to assembly lines. 
• Compatibility: Keep in mind that a checkweigher is not compatible with all types of packages. Most models can measure the weight of specific products only, such as bags, cartons, and pouches. Size requirements can differ depending on the make and model. 
• Weight Capacity: Weight capacity refers to the maximum weight a checkweigher can measure. If you are weighing heavy products, choose a checkweigher that is specially designed for heavy packages. 

Dynamic checkweighers tend to be pricier than their static counterparts. Modern checkweighers are outfitted with innovative features and can even inspect products. 

Features like an X-ray inspection system and metal detection help you examine the packages thoroughly. Depending upon the features, the weight capacity, and other factors, the price of a checkweigher may vary.

There are several components that require attention, including

• The feeder belt: it must be regularly maintained to ensure goods keep moving seamlessly through the checkweigher. 
• Calibration: The checkweigher should be calibrated regularly to the highest possible accuracy. 
• Sprockets, gears, and bearings: These should be regularly greased to prevent wear and tear. 

You can avoid most problems by cleaning the unit and lubricating its components.

Checkweighers are used in production facilities, superstores, shopping malls, food production facilities, and the pharmaceutical industry

Not only do they control the weight of packages, but they can also reject underfilled or overfilled packages to ensure uniformity.

No, you don't require any special training or certification to operate a checkweigher. They are mostly automated and only need to be configured once.

Here are some common issues that you might encounter with a checkweigher:

• Defective Display: The display is responsible for showing the weight of items. Electrical issues, physical damage, or water damage may cause the display to stop working.
• Inaccurate Reading: If the measured weight is inaccurate, the checkweigher may need to be recalibrated.
• Loose screws: The screws at the base of the checkweigher need to be tightened regularly to prevent it from giving an erroneous reading.
