Weight control at high speed

For a chain conveyor line running at 600 ppm


The Challenge

A tomato processing company required a checkweighing solution for cans of tomato sauce on a high-speed conveyor line running at 600 pieces per minute.

The system needed to ensure precise weight control for products up to 1.5 kg while maintaining production speed, accuracy, and hygiene in a demanding food-processing environment.


The Solutions

To achieve these requirements, a specialised high-speed weighing system was provided, consisting of:

  • R Series Checkweigher with chain belts – Designed for safe handling of cylindrical cans, even at extreme speeds. Guiding rails stabilize the product during feeding, weighing, exit, and transport. The checkweigher operates at 600 cans per minute, with a scale interval of 2 g.

  • High-speed ejection system – An automatic reject device precisely removes non-compliant cans without interrupting product flow.

  • Chain conveyor system – Ensures smooth and secure continuation of cans through the production process after weighing and rejection.

  • IP69K protection rating – The system is fully sealed against dust and water, allowing wash-down with high-pressure jets and steam, ensuring maximum hygiene even under the most extreme operating conditions.


The Benefits

  • Ultra-fast weighing – EasyWeigh® software delivers highly accurate results, even at very high speeds.

  • Hygienic design – IP69K-rated construction ensures full washability, even in the case of spillage or harsh cleaning requirements.

  • Cost and time savings – High-speed accuracy reduces giveaway and accelerates processing, minimising labour requirements.

  • Production efficiency – Chain conveyor technology enables continuous operation at 600 ppm, supporting maximum throughput.

  • Durability – Built to withstand demanding environments while maintaining consistent performance.
