Checkweigher
Category description
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.
Packaging and processing companies generally refer to the checkweigher as a “policeman” on the packaging line. It is the weight control center on a production line, and protects against unacceptable under or overweight packages ever reaching the customer.
Some of the benefits of the checkweigher is that it insures product compliance with customer, association, or agency specifications and measures and reports production line efficiency.
