Checkweigher FAQ What is the difference between an in-motion checkweigher and static checkweigher? A static checkweigher can only weigh an item that is not moving (i.e. static). Static checkweighers cannot have any motion on the load cell since it can take several seconds to stabilize. In addition, any product movement causes the load cell readings to oscillate resulting in unstable readings. An in-motion checkweigher (checkweigher) can weigh an item while in motion (i.e. dynamic) and then reject a product that is out of spec. Checkweighers must obtain accurate weighments in fractions of a second. Parameters such as product contents, product transfer and overall system design are much more relevant with checkweighers since moving parts can affect weighments. However, technology has improved significantly over the last decade such that in motion weighing is almost as accurate is static weighing. Why are so many companies now using checkweighers? Checkweighers are ideal for ensuring product … Continue reading Checkweigher FAQ
