A continuous measurement Checkweigher is a device used in production and packaging lines to ensure products are within a specified weight range.It continuously weighs items as they move along the production line,allowing for quick identification of underweight or overweight products.This helps maintain quality control, comply with regulations,and reduce product giveaway or waste.
Here's how it typically works:
Products are placed on the conveyor belt of the checkweigher.
As the products move along the belt, they pass through weighing sensors.
These sensors measure the weight of each product.
The checkweigher compares the measured weight to a pre-set target weight or weight range.
If a product falls outside the acceptable weight range, the checkweigher triggers an alarm or activates a mechanism to remove the non-conforming product from the production line.
Data on the weights of the products can also be collected for quality control and process monitoring purposes.
Continuous measurement checkweighers are commonly used in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and logistics, where ensuring product quality and compliance with regulations are critical. They help prevent underweight or overweight products from reaching consumers, minimize product giveaway, and maintain efficiency in production processes.
