1. What is Checkweigher?
A checkweigher is a high-precision weight measuring instrument. It
is designed to check the weight of individual products during the
manufacturing process on production lines.
Checkweighers are predominatly used as part of a manufacturing
quality control programme. Their weighing results are required to
ensure that manufacturing sites comply with local packaging laws
and regulations during production.
A checkweigher ensures that every product leaving a production line
is the right weight. They are key to ensuring manufacturers deliver
quality products that promote high levels of customer satisfaction.
Selling underweight products can result in companies being fined or
subject to other penalties. Overweight products generate
unnecessary and expensive product giveaway. Checkweighers can be
used in near to all industries as part of an effective quality
assurance system. These include: Food, Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics
Beverages, Transport/logistics, Chemicals, Automotive, Metal
manufacture and fabrication industries, etc.
2. What are the differences between static and dynamic checkweighers?
The main differences between static and dynamic checkweighers are:
a. Static checkweighers measure the weight of products that stand
still. Dynamic checkweighers weigh products in motion.
b. Static checkweighers are used for manual weighing of products or
for sample spot-checking. Dynamic checkweighers automatically check
100 % of the products produced
c. Static checkweighing is a labour intensive process. It requires
manual product weighing, recording of the result and then product
removal for the next weighing procedure. Dynamic checkweighing is
entirely automatic. Products are weighed as they pass along a
production line, with off-weight products rejected from the
production line by automated removal devices such as pneumatic
pusher arms or air-jets.
3. Reasons for a Checkweigher in Your Production?
Checkweighers have long been a key element of production
operations, as they are capable of far more than just weighing, and
can actually optimise your whole production process. Benefits of a
checkweigher include:
1). avoid costly fines with 100% weight inspection
2). keep fillers operating in synchronisation
3.) save material, so as to produce more products and profits
4). mprove production processes and equipment efficiency
5). save labor and personnel costs
6). reduce false rejects and rework
7). maintain the identity of your brand
