How to Calibrate a Checkweigher?
Proper calibration ensures your Checkweigher delivers accurate, stable, and repeatable weighing results.
To calibrate a checkweigher, follow these steps:
1.Ensure the conveyor is clean, empty, and stable with no vibration.
2.Enter the calibration mode on the checkweigher controller.
3.Use traceable, certified test weights matching your product weight range.
4.Run the test weight through the checkweigher several times.
5.Confirm and save the new calibration parameters.
6.Perform a repeat test to verify accuracy and stability.
Regular calibration ensures accurate weighing and compliance with quality standards.
How often should a Checkweigher be Calibrated?
Checkweighers should generally be calibrated at least once per month for standard production lines. For food, pharmaceutical, or high-accuracy applications, calibration is recommended weekly or even daily, as well as after:
1.Machine movement or installation.
2.Conveyor maintenance or part replacement.
3.Significant changes in environment (temperature, humidity)
4.Production start after long shutdowns.
