Semi-Automatic Netweigh-Counting Scales 5500

• Accurate portioning of granular or small solid products into bags, boxes, or other containers.
• Counting of small components or parts for packaging or inventory management.
• Batching ingredients in food processing or chemical industries.
• Pre-packaging operations requiring precise weight or count control.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities typically range from a few grams up to 25-50 kg, depending on the specific model and application.

Power supply

Commonly operates on standard single-phase industrial power, typically 230V, 50Hz in the UK.

Throughput

Semi-automatic units typically offer throughputs ranging from 5 to 20 weighments or counts per minute, influenced by product characteristics and operator efficiency.

Weighing accuracy

Units of this type commonly provide accuracy within +/- 0.1% to 0.5% of the target weight, depending on the load cell and control system.

Materials of construction

Typically features stainless steel contact parts for hygiene and durability, with painted mild steel frames for general industrial use.

Footprint

A semi-automatic netweigh-counting scale typically requires a compact footprint, often around 0.5 to 1.5 square metres, plus space for operator access.

• What is the difference between net weighing and gross weighing?

  Net weighing measures only the product's weight, excluding the container. Gross weighing measures the combined weight of the product and its container. This unit is described as a net-weigh scale.

• Can this scale handle different product types?

• Is this unit suitable for food contact applications?

• What kind of maintenance is typically required?

• Can this scale be integrated into an existing production line?

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.
