most important elements of the production process. It helps you with ensuring regulatory compliance, improve productivity, increase profits, avoid costly product giveaways, and meet consistent results. Prompt Equipments brings to you this white paper that explains how a checkweigher can simplify your production process and bring you better profits. In this white paper, we address the advantages of checkweighers, their varied uses, working pattern, and tips on selecting the right checkweigher for your business. We also take a look at the quality control aspects, issue of product giveaways, operational efficiencies, and product consistency. With the advancements in technology, a checkweigher can help you understand in minutes if your products meet the specifications listed on the label. These include product weight and components. Furthermore, production data helps you in making your processes efficient to achieve the highest standards. Browse through this whitepaper to understand how a reliable checkweigher can give you quick and accurate packaging and achieve the desired results. 2 What is a checkweigher? Checkweighers are systems that help in weighing items when they pass through a production line. They also classify items according to their predefined weight zones. When the items do not meet the defined classifications, checkweighers sort or eject them accordingly. A checkweigher will ensure that it weighs all of the items on a production line. Many sections comprise a physical checkweighing system. They include scale section, infeed section, discharge section, computerized control, and rejector or line divider. It is common to have different checkweighers and components based on their usage. The other factors that influence the design of a checkweigher include the surrounding environment and the types of an item being weighed. When it comes to an automatic checkweigher, there are a series of conveyor belts. These checkweighers are thus known as belt weighers, dynamic scales, conveyor scales, in-motion scales, and in-line scales. They are known as check scales in filler applications. 2.1 Belts of a checkweigher A checkweigher usually has three belts. Here is an overview of them: 2.1.1 Infeed belt: It changes the speed of packages if they need to be brought down or up to the desired speed for weighing. It also acts as an indexer to create a necessary gap between items that ensure optimal weighing distance. The positioning of items happens through special chains or belts. 2.1.2 Reject belt: When any package does not meet the tolerance levels, it gets removed from the conveyor through the reject belt. The reject function depends on the application as well. Heavy items require radial or linear actuators, while smaller products need only an air-amplifier to blow them away. In the case of fragile products, they get dropped from the belt to slide easily into another conveyor or bin. 2.1.3 Weigh belt: They get mounted on a weight transducer. It can be a servo-balanced, strain-gauge, or split-beam load cell. In the case of old machines, the belt might get paused before the weight measurement. This directly affects the throughput and line speed. When it comes to high-speed precision scales, EMFR (electromagnetic force restoration) load cell becomes relevant. When the inductive coil gets charged, the weigh bed gets floated in an electromagnetic field. Vibrating wire load cells and strain gauges are other technologies used here. To ensure an accurate weight reading, the built-in computer needs multiple weight readings from the transducer. The next critical factor here is calibration. Lab products not in motion. When in motion, there scales can usually weigh objects

  • Load Cell Guide
    Load cell Guide EXCELLENCE IN LOAD CELLS L O A D C E L L S E L E C T I O N Selecting the correct type and size of load cells has a major impact on the performance and long term reliability of any weighing system or Dual cantilever single point scale. This bulletin is intended to guide the user through the selection process. The first task is to understand fundamental weighing principles which are outlined at the end of this document. For a particular application the user has to make an informed choice about which load cell to use, taking into account: • Method of supporting the weighing structure or platform. Triple cantilever beam single point • Operating environment. • Required performance. • Cost. After preliminary consideration has been given to these points, decisions then need to be made regarding: • Number of load cells. • Capacity for each load cell. • Accuracy level required. • Necessary approvals (legal for trade, hazardous areas etc). • Mounting method. • Protection against overload, side load and impact shocks. Dual cantilever single point with integral bi-directional overload stop A particular type of application will often determine which basic type of load cell is best suited. Although there appear to be many different types of load cells, essentially they work on four main principles: • Bending • Shear • Column Compression (or tension) • Torsion bending ring High capacity end fixing single point The main families of load cells are: TYPE OPERATION Single points(low capacity) – Bending (high capacity) – Bending and shear Single ended beams – Bending and shear S beams – Bending and shear Viscous damped high speed single point Double ended beams – Shear Canisters – Compression – Bending – Torsion Load cells operate in one of two ways -loads either sit on or hang from them.

I had to go up to them and say “Nice in a booth, but have you ever seen if these things work in the field?” Being from the field, I doubted this was as easy or effective as their laboratory tests claimed they were. My negative air machines or “airscrubbers” have worked for years and sometimes you just can’t beat the traditional methods. Michael Williams, of Festool USA, was there trying to explain the benefits and ease of use of the dust extractors.
