Complying with international Weights and Measures requirements such as the Finished Packaging Regulation or NIST Handbook 44 is a necessity in food production. Dynamic checkweighers are designed to provide the highest weighing accuracy, repeatability and 100 percent weight control. A checkweigher enhances manufacturing efficiency - every single product is checked in-motion, without the need to stop or slow the production process. This means dynamic checkweighing can replace manual sample testing and data recording, saving manufacturers valuable time and improving efficiency.

Today’s food processors and manufacturers are constantly pushed by tighter production tolerances and cost pressures. At the same time, they must ensure absolute product safety for consumers and the protection of their brand. Well-designed checkweighing solutions should be future-proof, easy to clean, and highly adaptable to individual customer requirements. Numerous features are available to raise Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), support compliance with global legislation and regulations and save costs.
Protecting Valuable Assets – Your Customers, Your Brand
Advanced checkweighing systems can be combined with further inspection technologies such as metal detection, x-ray and vision inspection. This transforms the checkweigher into a full Critical Control Point (CCP) that is capable of detecting contamination and quality issues before products reach consumers. By ensuring the utmost safety of your products and processes, combination systems help to prevent the risk of financial losses as well as aid compliance with legislative and regulatory requirements.
Completeness Checks, In-Process or End-of-Line
Packaged goods can be checked for completeness either during or after the production and packaging process. Checkweighers provide a reliable checkpoint in the production line for every single package. By ensuring completeness, they help to avoid returns and support the demands of retailers concerning product and packaging quality.
