Checkweighing
Precise weight control is crucial in food inspection for confectionery and snacks. This is not only for regulatory compliance, but also for maintaining customer satisfaction by avoiding under-filled packages and reducing waste by minimizing over-fill.
METTLER TOLEDO checkweigher systems offer highly accurate weight control for products moving at high speeds along the conveyor line to meet MID regulations.
Our automated checkweighers for snacks and confectionery can determine if packaged products are not completely filled by checking if they are under their expected weight.
In addition to this, checkweighers can perform completeness checks to monitor for the correct number of items in one multi-package – for example, by checking that every box has five snack packs, or that every candy tray contains 24 chocolates.
