A Practical Guide to Checkweighers

In today's manufacturing landscape, maintaining product quality and compliance is crucial. Checkweighers play a vital role in this process by ensuring that each product meets specified weight criteria. Smart Weigh offers a range of innovative solutions designed to enhance your production line's efficiency and accuracy. This guide delves into the world of checkweighing, highlighting the processes, technical specifications, applications, compliance standards, and benefits of Smart Weigh's check weigher machine.

What are the Types of Check Weighers?

Static Checkweighers

Measure products that are stationary on the weighing part. These are ideal for manual operations or low-speed production lines where precision is critical, but speed is not a primary concern.

Dynamic Checkweighers

These weigh products as they move along a conveyor belt. Dynamic checkweighers are suitable for high-speed, automated production lines, ensuring continuous operation and minimal interruption.

Checkweighing Production Process

The standard checkweigher has 3 parts, they are infeed, weighing and outfeed part.

Infeed

The process begins at the infeed, where products are automatically directed into the check weigher machine. Smart Weigh’s static and dynamic checkweighers handle a variety of product shapes and sizes, ensuring a seamless transition and maintaining high throughput rates.

Weighing

At the core of checkweighing is precise measurement. Smart Weigh high speed checkweigher utilize advanced load cells and high-speed processing to deliver accurate results. For instance, the SW-C220 model offers high accuracy in a compact form factor, while the SW-C500 model caters to larger operations with its higher capacity and speed.

Outfeed

After weighing, products are sorted based on their compliance with weight specifications. Smart Weigh's systems feature sophisticated rejection mechanisms, such as pushers or air blasts, to efficiently remove non-compliant products. The combined metal detector and checkweigher model further ensures that products are both weight-compliant and contaminant-free.
