What is a weighing machine?
A weighing machine is used to measure the weight of fresh produce quickly and accurately as part of the packing or processing line. In fresh produce operations, these machines help ensure each pack meets specified weight targets while minimising giveaway.
Modern weighing systems are built for speed, precision, and gentle handling — all critical factors when dealing with delicate fruits and vegetables. Xact’s solutions are tailored to suit a wide range of produce types and pack formats, helping you achieve consistent results and greater packing efficiency.
What is a counting machine?
A counting machine automatically counts individual items of produce before packing. These machines are ideal for operations where products are sold by unit rather than weight, such as citrus, avocados, or prepared veg portions.
By removing the need for manual counting, these systems improve line speed, reduce labour costs, and ensure uniformity across every pack. Xact’s counting machines combine high-speed sensors with user-friendly controls, delivering accuracy and reliability for a range of fresh produce applications.

The importance of accurate produce weighing
Accurate weighing plays a vital role in maximising profitability, reducing waste, and maintaining compliance with retailer and regulatory standards. Underfilling can lead to rejected orders and penalties, while overfilling cuts into margins and increases giveaway.
By automating the weighing process, you not only boost efficiency but also gain better control over pack weights, yield, and productivity. At Xact, our weighing systems are designed for high-speed, high-accuracy operation, ensuring every pack meets target weights without compromising product quality or throughput.
