Loma - 6000 Checkweigher

• Used for verifying product weight against a target to ensure compliance with legal metrology regulations.
• Essential for identifying under- or over-weight products to minimise giveaway and reduce waste.
• Integrated into production lines to provide real-time weight data for process control and optimisation.
• Commonly employed in food packaging operations for quality assurance prior to despatch.
• Utilised for sorting products into different weight categories or for batching.

Typical capacity range

For this class of equipment, checkweighers commonly handle products from a few grams up to several kilograms, with units like this often rated for up to 2000g (4.4lbs).

Typical throughput

Throughput rates for checkweighers of this type typically range from 60 to 300 products per minute, depending on product size and stability.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a single-phase 230V AC supply, 50Hz.

Conveyor belt material

Polyurethane (PU) belts are typically used for their durability and suitability for food contact applications.

Platform length

Platform lengths commonly found on units of this type are around 450mm (17.7 inches), accommodating a range of product sizes.

Reject mechanism

Common reject mechanisms include air blast, pusher, or drop-down conveyors, often paired with a reject bin for non-conforming products.

• What is the typical accuracy of a checkweigher?

  The accuracy of a checkweigher, for this class of equipment, is typically within +/- 0.5g to +/- 2g, depending on the product weight, speed, and environmental conditions. Buyers should contact the seller for exact unit specifications.

• Can this checkweigher integrate with existing production lines?

• What kind of maintenance does a used checkweigher typically require?

• Is this unit suitable for washdown environments?

• What factors affect the throughput of a checkweigher?

Checkweighers are valued in food processing for reliable weight verification and compliance support. Buyers typically prioritise accuracy, speed, and ease of integration with existing production lines. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration history, mechanical condition, and software functionality proves important. Industry sentiment favours models offering consistent performance, straightforward maintenance, and robust build quality. Durable construction and proven track records across multiple production environments remain key considerations for buyers assessing secondhand equipment.
