Checkweighers for the manufacturing industry
Checkweighers are widely used in manufacturing industries such as food and pharmaceuticals. Reliability and speed are particularly required as part of a continuous production system, where they are used to monitor the weight and quantity of the packaged product. The checkweigher must also be connected to various automation and control systems.
Tamtron’s checkweighers are type-approved automatic weighing instruments compliant with the MID 2014/32/EU Measuring Instruments Directive and are typically certified for commercial use. The scale is always equipped with a log memory when actual weight data is used for invoicing. The log memory stores the consecutive weighing number, the time stamp and the actual weight. With this information, the accuracy of the weighing data recorded in the customer’s system can be verified afterwards.

Frequently asked questions
What types of products and industries are checkweighers best suited for?
Checkweighers are ideal for production lines in industries such as food, consumer goods, heavy industry, and logistics, as well as any sector where reliable weighing of items moving on conveyors is essential to meet strict weight and quality standards.
Can the checkweigher be used for invoicing or other commercial weighing applications?
Yes. The checkweigher is approved for trade use under MID regulations and stores every weighing result in its log memory, making the data suitable for invoicing and other regulated applications.
How does the checkweigher integrate with existing automation and data systems?
The system connects easily to production control, rejection mechanisms, and enterprise data systems. All weighing data can be automatically transferred for process optimisation, reporting, and traceability.
What happens if a product falls outside the acceptable weight range?
Products that exceed or fall below the set tolerance are automatically identified, and a signal is sent to the line control system to remove the item from the process. This ensures that only compliant products continue to package and shipping.
What kind of service and maintenance does Tamtron provide for checkweighers?
Tamtron offers full lifecycle support, including commissioning, calibration, verification for trade use, maintenance, and spare parts, to ensure continuous reliability and regulatory compliance.
