APCW-4020 Automatic Checkweigher

In manufacturing processes, ensuring accurate dosing and weight for every single product is a core requirement for maintaining consistent quality and optimizing raw material costs. The APCW-4020 automatic checkweigher is a high-speed weighing solution that automatically detects, alerts, and precisely rejects non-compliant products directly on the production line.

What is the APCW-4020 automatic checkweigher?

The APCW-4020 is a specialized automatic weighing unit designed for flat, sheet-like, film-packaged, or thin/small-packaged items. It fully replaces manual weighing processes, measuring the weight of individual products as they move along the conveyor belt at high speeds.

The system’s automated operational sequence includes:

• Infeed / Buffer Section: Dampens vibrations, stabilizes spacing, and aligns products before entering the weighing platform.
• Weighing Section: Precision electronic sensors measure product mass with readouts down to 0.01g, protected by a dedicated draft shield.
• Analysis & Processing: The system compares real-time weight against preset target thresholds in the selected recipe.
• Rejection Section: If a product is under- or over-weight, the system immediately triggers an alarm and activates a rejection mechanism to divert defective items to a reject bin.

Applications

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Weight checking for sheet masks, cream sachets, wet wipes, bar soaps, and thin pouch cosmetics.
• Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare: Inspecting blister packs, cooling gel patches, medical gauze, and dietary supplement sachets.
• Food & Light Packaging: Verifying tea bags, spice packets, flat candies/snacks, and pet food pouches.
