Anritsu has a wide range of standard, off-the-shelf checkweighing models, ready to install to get your production line going faster.

Meets regulatory requirements
Checkweighing machines inspect 100% of products on a manufacturing line. They are essential quality assurance equipment which ensures that manufacturers meet regulatory weight requirements (such as the Average Quantity System (AQS) ) and to prevent unnecessary giveaway:

1. Weighs package contents to check the nominal product weight is within prescribed limits;
2. Rejects non-compliant packs;
3. If the checked weights are underweight or overweight, the system feeds the data back to the packaging process so that adjustments are made to correct the fill weights.
4. Records 100% of the production data for quality assurance and traceability.

Cost savings through QA process monitoring
Checkweighing also provides savings by preventing unnecessary giveaway and monitoring production efficiencies:

• Prevents underweight products being shipped or products with missing components.
• Monitors line abnormalities by raising alarms for excessive overweights.
• Reduces wastage through trend control of the filling machine.

Consistent accuracy
The SSV-f checkweigher series uses a highly versatile load cell to weigh packs.

• Accuracy from ±0.2g at 3?.
• Scale interval from 0.2g.
