About second-hand Check weighers

Efficiency and precision are extremely important in the food industry today. Everything needs to go as optimally as possible to keep profit margins high. Consumers have also become more critical and only accept perfect products. Apples must have a nice color, courgettes should not have any scratches, and the weight in a package must correspond to the promised weight down to the gram.

By using checkweighers, you can guarantee your customer that the sold products meet the specified weight requirements. By incorporating checkweighers, for example, as part of the packaging line, the contents of the package are accurately weighed against a pre-set weight, ensuring that only packages that meet the strict weight requirements reach the end user.

WHAT DOES A CHECKWEIGHER DO?

Checkweighers, also known as weighing machines, are machines that "check" the weight of a product or package against a pre-set weight. If the product meets the weight requirement, it is allowed to pass through, but if the weight deviates too much, it is rejected.

Checkweighers can be set to a desired minimum and maximum weight. This ensures that the package does not have insufficient weight or excessive weight. Packages that meet the set weight requirements are allowed to pass through, while packages that are too light or too heavy are separated from the rest by a rejecter/pusher, after which the product can potentially be sorted again.

CHECKWEIGHERS IN SORTING OR PACKAGING LINES

Checkweighers are often used as part of a sorting or packaging line. In that case, they are positioned after the weighing and/or packaging machine and before the turntable. Using a checkweigher allows you to weigh all your packages at high speed, ensuring that the weights are accurate.

COMBINING CHECKWEIGHERS WITH LABELING MACHINES

Some checkweighers are equipped with labeling machines. After checking the weight, a labeling machine applies labels to the package. These labels can include the barcode, batch number, or date, as well as the price calculated based on the weight of the package and the price per kilogram.

POPULAR BRANDS OF CHECKWEIGHERS

There are various manufacturers of checkweighers, but Bizerba, Espera, and S&B Machines are perhaps the most well-known. These brands offer different models, from simple checkweighers with rejecters but without labeling machines, to complete sorting lines with net-clipper packaging machines. Duijndam Machines has a large and changing selection of these checkweighers, as well as many other brands. Keep a close eye on the available options.
