Checkweigher machines are frequently used in the food packaging sector to weigh product items as they move through the production line.

Manufacturers can obtain an overview of production information from these machines, including production counts, batch tracking, and total weights, including approved or rejected weights.

What are the functions of checkweigher machines?

Checkweigher machines can weigh things manufactured on a production line. Typically, these machines are used to weigh unwrapped foods prior to packaging.

Common checkweigher applications include:

Identifying products into weight zones
Measuring and reporting production line efficiency
Weighing before and after to check process performance
Ensuring compliance with net contents law
Fulfilling reporting standards
Methods for Weighing Products and Deciding If They Are Underweight or Overweight
Making sure no labels or manuals are missing
Uses a scale to double-check that no bottles, cans, or other packaging items are missing

Why are Checkweighers Used?

In general, a checkweigher machine is used in the packaging and processing industries to ensure that only the correct weight of a product is being distributed to customers. These machines help manufacturers in avoiding the hassle of product recalls and customer complaints due to underweight items. Furthermore, process safety is increased because abnormalities in food products will be caught by the checkweighers. This ensures that products that were possibly contaminated during the packaging process are further inspected to ensure consumer safety.

Additionally, checkweigher machines can significantly reduce overall material costs. By ensuring each product is at the appropriate weight, the machines reduce the risk of having to discard product if it was filled incorrectly. This also increases the process time by having weight inspection done quickly and efficiently, rather than it being done manually.

Any facility that packages food should utilize checkweigher equipment to make sure that each product is the required weight. These devices can help manufacturers cut costs, improve customer satisfaction, and improve product quality.
