Checkweighers are utilised as an integral part of quality control programs, where manufacturers rest assured that they comply with benchmark regulations and enable products in precise amounts.
On the other hand, consumers can be fully assured that they are using superior quality products that contain all the elements or parts, as mentioned on the packaging.
How Checkweigher Systems Work
A Checkweigher is a system that precisely weighs products as they pass by a production line, then classifies the products by set weight zones, and sorts or reject products as per the classifications.
Checkweighers weigh the products comprehensively right on a production line and offer the complete overview of production data, including production counts, batch monitoring and tracking, total weights, accepted and rejected weights.
Uses of Checkweigher Solutions
They are utilised for numerous applications, which include:
- Checking for under and overweight product packages
- Make sure compliance with net contents
- Check missing components in a package
- Verify product counts by weight
- Check package mixes regards to weight limits
- Eliminates the possibility of product giveaway
- Classifying products into diverse weight zones
- Make sure product compliance
- Weighing prior to and after a procedure to check the performance
- Fulfill reporting benchmarks
- Measure and report efficiency across production lines

Benefits of Checkweigher Solutions
Checkweigher solutions avoid fines and safeguard your business brand with complete weight inspections. One of the significant reasons to use a Checkweigher system is to comply with regulations and industry benchmarks.

And the added advantage of an automated Checkweigher is that information earlier gathered manually can now be automatically collected in minimal time.
For these various reasons, an organisation’s responsibility is to safeguard its brand and protect the end consumers. Product brands are significant assets that require to be handled precisely and protect from negative publicity. Underweight product purchased by consumers can have an off-putting effect on an organisation, leading to brand damage and expensive product recalls.
In the case of an organisation being investigated as an outcome of a consumer complaint, documentation will offer evidence of the precise operation of the Checkweighing set-up program.
Gains from Checkweigher Solutions
#1 Enable Trust and Business Opportunities
To make sure client and end-consumer contentment, manufacturers must deliver accurate product quality by removing the risk of manufacturing under-filled products or products with missing components.

#3 Cost-effectiveness and Improved Use of Resources
A precise Checkweigher will make sure tighter production tolerances that will create less waste and facilitate more final products to be manufactured from the same inventory. So, Checkweighers should be an in-built part of a manufacturing set-up to make the most of the current resources.
#4 Less Rework and Fewer Rejections
A well-maintained Checkweigher system enable processes to reduce work load and have fewer rejection of products. With tighter tolerances manufacturers can enhance the process quality, trim down the scrapped products and those needing re-work.
With Checkweigher solutions false rejects are reduced as processes become streamlined and highly refined. The in-line Checkweigher further removes probable sampling mistakes and lessens additional labour costs needed for static checking.
#5 Enrichment in Accessibility, Performance, and Quality Levels
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is improved by enhancements in accessibility, performance, and quality levels. Comprehensive monitoring of products offers precise process variations, reduction in line capacity and tight production tolerances through Checkweighing. It also trims down over fills and under fills which boosts a higher yield of quality products.
