by | Sep 14, 2017 | Packaging

You’re working to build a system that allows you to package your product in an efficient manner and get it shipped out to your would-be buyers. You’re excited to find that there are many methods available for achieving this. Yet, before you get too excited, it is essential that you have the right amount of a product in each package. Too little means misleading customers whereas too much indicates you’ll be wasting money. The investment in a check weigher, though, and reduce this risk.

What Are Check Weigher Systems?

This type of system is a bit different than using a traditional scale. They are designed with high-quality stainless steel. This helps to improve the overall durability of the system. You also want to be sure that it can help meet product safety and regulatory standards – this is no place for mistakes to occur. And, you need the system to be fast. It needs to weigh each item quickly to ensure the right portion size is always provided. And, when that is not the case, it needs to have some type of rejection mechanism.

A check weigher is a type of scale that will verify the end product. It is used at the very end of the packaging production process. It ensures accuracy. There are various types available. Most will include three types of conveyor belts. This includes an infeed belt to move product inward to the system, a weigh belt to actually measure the weight, and a reject belt for complications.

If you have yet to invest in a check weigher for your product packaging process, now is the time to do so. You will find this investment not only ensures accuracy (which reduces the risk that you’ll miss compliance), but it also saves you time and money in the long term.
