Check Weigher

The Checkweigher by Tartmax is an essential tool in any production line, offering precise and automatic weight measurement to ensure your products meet predefined thresholds. Primarily employed after packaging for quality assessment, this device identifies and discards products that are below or above the desired weight range, thus enhancing your production line's output and reliability.

The Checkweigher operates by passing products over a conveyor belt where they are weighed using highly sensitive load cells while in motion. It compares the measured weight against preset criteria:

• Products within the specified weight range remain on the line.
• Products outside the acceptable weight range are automatically rejected using systems like spraying or dropping.

Additionally, the Checkweigher logs production data and integrates with software systems for comprehensive reporting, making it invaluable across various sectors including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, chemicals, and automotive packaging.

Key Applications and Benefits

• Enhances production quality by automatically removing human error.
• Ensures compliance with legal standards, especially in net weight control for packaged goods.
• Minimizes waste and boosts customer satisfaction by maintaining product consistency.

Example Scenario: Biscuit Packaging Line

Consider a factory where biscuit packs of 12 are placed on the Checkweigher. Each pack is expected to weigh approximately 240 grams. The Checkweigher is adjusted to accept weights between 235 g and 245 g. As packs pass through:

• A pack weighing 238 g is accepted.
• A pack weighing 230 g is too light and is rejected.
• A pack weighing 248 g is too heavy and is also rejected.

The system reports daily averages, minimum, and maximum weights, enabling ongoing production monitoring and control.
