A checkweigher determines the exact weight of packaged or unpackaged products at different points of the production line. A classification of each product follows based on pre-set weight zones. Ultimately, the checkweigher determines underweight, overweight, or exact weight and will then reject, sort, or move the product forward.

Yes. The most common combination is our SSV checkweighers and M6 metal detectors. This combo is especially preferred by production lines with stringent space limitations. Our combined systems share the same boards and UI for easier set-up and operation.

This depends on your product and goal. There’s two types of calibration: Static calibration (sensitivity correction) and dynamic calibration (fine adjustment software). The static calibration follows a simple 3-step process using a so-called “master weight” or “master product”. During this type of calibration, no products are moving on the checkweigher.

Dynamic calibration, similarly, uses a master product but keeps it in motion. The checkweigher effectively passes the master product 10-times back and forth to re-calibrate itself.

We make this process easy with our pre-installed wizard or guide that is available in our software and walks you through the calibration process step-by-step for all Anritsu checkweighers.

Reduction of excess costs due to product giveaway and customer complaints because of insufficient product quantity. Who would want half a cookie box?

Because of the economies of scale. Let's suppose you produce 120 boxes per minute and each box has a giveaway of 5g, for a value of $0.05. Over the course of a month, the giveaway value could amount to more than $86,000. With a more accurate checkweigher that reduces giveaway to 3g ($0.03), you could save up to $34,500 per month.
