Bulk food weight control under the highest hygienic conditions

Best washability at high temperatures (IP66)


The Challenge

A meat processor required a checkweighing solution to weigh beef fillets and burgers before packaging.

Key requirements included:

  • Handling products up to 400 g.

  • 100% weight control to ensure compliance with set tolerances.

  • Rejecting non-conforming pieces for reprocessing.

  • Operating under strict hygiene standards, with fast and effective cleaning between production cycles.


The Solutions

To meet these needs, a high-performance checkweigher was provided, specifically adapted for food processing environments.

Key features included:

  • Throughput – Up to 120 pieces per minute, ensuring high-volume efficiency.

  • Accuracy – Weighing precision within 2 g, guaranteeing compliance while minimizing giveaway.

  • Full product control – Every piece is weighed, with out-of-tolerance items rejected and reintroduced into the production cycle.

  • Pneumatic rejection system – A robust pusher integrated with a polyurethane belt for smooth, reliable expulsion of non-compliant products.

  • Easy-clean design – Smart belt architecture allows quick disassembly for end-of-shift wash-down.

  • IP66 protection – High-level sealing enables washability with hot water and powerful jets, meeting strict hygiene requirements.


The Benefits

  • Cost control – Accurate weighing prevents overfilling, protecting margins while ensuring legal compliance with EU regulations for packaged products.

  • Hygienic operation – IP66-rated stainless steel construction supports thorough cleaning and sanitization.

  • Reduced downtime – Quick belt removal and reassembly simplify cleaning, maximising machine availability.

  • Regulatory compliance – Guaranteed adherence to weight labelling standards, avoiding penalties and protecting brand reputation.

  • Efficient reprocessing – non-compliant products are rejected without waste and can be reintegrated into production.
