Checkweighers: Aiming for 100% accuracy

 

WEIGHT is one of the physical aspects by which products can be easily scrutinised. Any inaccuracy could be taken as a sign that a production line is having quality control issues. For one, it could be a problem with checkweighing.

Mettler-Toledo defines a checkweigher as “a system that weighs items as they pass through a production line, classifies the items by preset weight zones, and ejects or sorts the items based on their classification*.” These machines are designed with various user considerations in mind. 

There are so many checkweigher models out there today, so how do you choose the right one for your own business? Whether your company is small, large, or expanding, there's always a machine or solution that will fit your needs, according to  Nigel Wong, Head of Market Support Center, Asia Pacific, Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection.
