The history of the checkweigher can be found on Wikipedia. A fantastic source of information. A machine automatic or manual. Normally part of a production process. Systems check of the weight of packaged and unpackaged goods within a specified weight criteria.
Where would a Checkweigher be sited?
The checkweigher is normally part of the production line and will incorporate conveyor belts. Vision and packaging inspection systems to ensure the quality of the products beings checked. These conveyor belts can also be known as in-line or in-motion scales. Alternative names for a check weigher can also be categorised as conveyor scales or dynamic scales.
All Bizerba dynamic checkweighers can be easily installed. Can also incorporate vision inspection systems or x-ray systems. They will also link to the system by the unique Brain software. Using a Bizerba checkweighing system with the software. It will ensure that any over or under products are rejected by the pushers automatically. When calibrated the system can also automatically shut down. Stopping the production process if there are too many rejections.
Checkweigher Software.
The Brain software will manage the production process for you. It will also record in real time the entire production process. The software can be accessed remotely and reporting and archiving. It can be set up and this can also be automated by this unique software from Bizerba.
The checkweigher system is designed to monitor thousands of products an hour. Managing the production process and ensuring that all the products that pass through the system are compliant. The finished product will be at the target weight.
Checkweighers can also be used to count the packages that go through the production line. They will report on the total weight, total packages and can also read the labels with the vision inspection systems. They will reject all non-compliant packages. Also redirect the packages according to the labelling on the packages.
Precision
A checkweighing system with precision weight measuring instrument. It is designed to check the weight of individual packages during the manufacturing process or on food production lines. Checkweighing is normally used as part of a manufacturing quality control programme.
Weighing results are required to ensure that manufacturing sites comply with local packaging laws and regulations during production.
Checkweigher ensures that every product leaving a production line is the right weight within a set parameter. They are key to ensuring manufacturers deliver quality products that promote a high level of customer satisfaction. Selling underweight products can result in companies being fined or subject to further penalties. Overweight products generate unnecessary and expensive product giveaway greatly reducing profits. Checkweighers can be used in all industries as part of an effective quality assurance system.
There are many different checkweigher designs in use today, here at Bizerba we have every conceivable variant available. Depending on the materials used to construct a checkwegher will vary depending on how the checkwegher is used. The characteristics of the items being weighed and their surrounding environment will have a strong impact on the design.
What are the Differences Between a Dynamic and Static Checkweigher?
The main differences between dynamic and static checkweighers are:
Static checkweighers measure the weight of products that stand still. Also known as manual checkweiging. Dynamic checkweighers weigh products in motion or on high speed production lines. Dynamic checkweighers will automatically check and weigh 100% of the products produced. Static checkweighing is a labour intensive process and relies heavily on staff. It requires manual product weighing, recording of the result and then product removal for the next weighing procedure.
Dynamic checkweighing is entirely automatic, fast paced and accurate. Products are weighed as they pass along a production line, with any underweight or over weight products rejected from the line automatically rejection devices such as pneumatic pushers arms or air jets. Static Checkweighers. Designed to allow a fast and accurate checkweighing and portioning. Also known as manual checkweighing portion control. We have a complete software portfolio to assist with this process.Available in numerous variations and sizes for all environments.
