Having a checkweigher allows for compliance and the reduction of waste.<\/p>\n<p>This blog intends to explore everything you need to know about checkweighing, including benefits and how they work.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How does a Checkweigher work?<\/h2>\n<p>In basic terms, a checkweigher looks at the products set weight and the set limits put in place. This set limit is predetermined so products aren\u2019t under or over weight. For example the product running may be set at 300g meaning any products under 295g or above 305 would be rejected.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on what type of checkweigher you have will depend on the range of features included. However, all checkweighers follow a similar principal, there is an infeed conveyor that is in place to settle the product and stop it from any movement. From there it is transported onto the weigh platform which weighs the product. The final belt is the outfeed belt (also known as the reject belt), if the product is under\/overweight, it will be rejected into a bin or if the product is good, continue down the conveyor belt.<\/p>\n<p>Checkweighers can be introduced at any point of the production process. It could be introduced near the start of the process to check the right amount of ingredients are within the products or at the end to check the final product before leaving for the supermarkets.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-529 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.metaldetector-rentals.co.uk\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Troy-Foods-CW-No-Back-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metaldetector-rentals.co.uk\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Troy-Foods-CW-No-Back-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.metaldetector-rentals.co.uk\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Troy-Foods-CW-No-Back-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.metaldetector-rentals.co.uk\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Troy-Foods-CW-No-Back-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.metaldetector-rentals.co.uk\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Troy-Foods-CW-No-Back-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.metaldetector-rentals.co.uk\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Troy-Foods-CW-No-Back-600x450.png 600w, https:\/\/www.metaldetector-rentals.co.uk\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Troy-Foods-CW-No-Back.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of using Checkweighers<\/h2>\n<p>Haven\u2019t got a checkweigher already?
