Checkweighing Scale FAQs

Checkweighers are used to weigh boxes, and depending on the industry, weighing can be done in motion or static modes. Checkweighing scales are essential in quality control since they help determine if a product is the correct weight and can track product weight over time for consistency. They are also used to ensure equal and uniform filling of boxes or containers by setting up a target weight. 

Checkweighing scales work by weighing items as they pass through the scale. The scale compares the weight of each item to a predetermined weight limit, and if the weight is outside of the acceptable range, an alarm or other notification is triggered.

To choose the best checkweighing scale, it is important to consider several features. Capacity and readability are critical to ensure that the scale can accurately weigh items, and the display should be highly visible for easy reading. A tare function is also essential to account for the weight of containers or packaging. An auto off function is useful to save power, especially for battery powered scales. Finally, the weight display should be large and easy to read.

Yes, many checkweighing scales are designed to be integrated into production lines to provide real time weight measurements and ensure that items are within the acceptable weight range.

To calibrate your checkweighing scale, you will typically need a set of certified calibration weights that are traceable to a national or international standard. You can then follow the manufacturer’s instructions for calibrating the scale, which may involve adjusting the calibration settings or performing a zero calibration. It is important to calibrate your checkweighing scale regularly to ensure accurate measurements.

"American Scale's technicians are the best I've ever seen. They never stopped working, never goofed off and were very knowledgeable and could answer every question I asked."
Karen Gramm
Regional Manager, ABF Freight
"We are completely satisfied with the service from American Scale and the timely response they have always given us; from first contact with sales through service technicians. We were in dire straits with our previous vendor because they left us hanging with a poor equipment design. ASC came in and fixed their mess so that we now have an operational scale that gets as much traffic per week as any quarry scale might. Once again, they have not let us down when we needed them the most and my management appreciates that level of customer service."
