Buying the right checkweigher for your needs

One of the key areas of the manufacturing process involves inspecting the quality of the products before they get distributed to retailers, making checkweighers an important part of the production process. As the name would suggest, a checkweigher checks the weights of packaged commodities and ensures it is within the specified limits, and can be either automatic or manual. Commodities that exceed the specified limits are automatically taken out of the production line. With their efficiency and accuracy, checkweighers ensure that the production process is smooth and meets quality requirements.

If you’re looking to set up or upgrade your production lines, investing in robust, good quality checkweighers is an important step. This will help you maintain a standard level of quality at the end of the line. Able Scale offers a wide range of checkweighers suitable for varied requirements and budgets. However, your choice of checkweigher depends mainly on the accuracy required, line rate, environment, package specifications and additional functions you need included for your line. This information will help determine whether you must opt for a compact bench top checkweigher or a more elaborate industrial one.
