Weighing, measuring and filling systems
Checkweighers, dynamic in-motion weighing, automatic rejection and controlled filling.
On a production line the product is moving, the conveyor vibrates and only a fraction of a second is left for the measurement. A stable result is achieved only when the mechanics, the weighing equipment and the signal processing work as one.
We connect weighing and measuring equipment to the line automation so that weight, quantity and process values are checked during production itself, not afterwards.
What it includes
Checkweighers
Automatic weight check of packaged products and bags against the permitted range.
Dynamic weighing
Weighing while the product moves along the conveyor, without stopping the line.
Signal filtering and processing
Processing of the measuring signal so that the result stays stable even on lines with vibration.
Automatic rejection
Out-of-tolerance products are automatically removed from the production flow.
Dosing and controlled filling
Controlled filling with proportional valves, by time or by weight.
Integration with PLC and SCADA
Weighing data is shown to the operator and sent to the existing control or SCADA system (e.g. Modbus TCP).
Where it is used
- Packaging and bagging lines (e.g. 20–50 kg)
- Fill checks for boxes and packaging
- Dosing of powders and liquids
- Lines with strong vibration
How we work
- Product and line – we analyse the product, weight range, line speed and mechanical design.
- Equipment selection – weighing and measuring equipment is selected according to the required tolerance and the conditions on the line.
- Installation – installation of the weighing section, control cabinet and connections on the line.
- Software and integration – programming of weighing, filtering and rejection, and data transfer to the existing system.
- Tuning and commissioning – calibration and testing with the actual product on the line.
Benefits for you
- Weight check of every item during production
- Fewer complaints and less loss from overfilling
- Stable results even on lines with vibration
- Weighing data available in the PLC or SCADA system
