APCW-4020-B Bottle Checkweigher

In personal care, beverage, and pharmaceutical bottling lines, tall, narrow, or lightweight upright bottles are prone to wobbling, tilting, and falling over when moving along conveyors at high speeds. The APCW-4020-B bottle checkweigher is a specialized dynamic weighing solution equipped with a smart bottle-clamping mechanism. It securely stabilizes the bottle body, ensuring 100% accurate inline dosing verification without tipping bottles or interrupting the production line.

What is the APCW-4020-B Bottle Checkweigher?

The APCW-4020-B bottle checkweigher is an automatic online dynamic checkweighing system specifically engineered for upright bottles, vials, and jars. The standout feature of this machine is its side-clamping conveyor device, which secures both sides of the bottle body as it passes across the weighing platform.

The system’s automated operational sequence includes:

• Infeed / Buffer Section: The conveyor aligns and spaces out incoming bottles.
• Clamping Mechanism & Weighing Section: Side-clamping belt system keeps bottles upright and passes them across the weighing platform without vibration or tipping. Precision load cells measure actual product mass.
• Data Analysis: The machine compares the actual weight against preset standard recipe thresholds.
• Automatic Rejection: If an underfilled or overfilled bottle is detected, a mechanical pusher automatically diverts the defective product into a reject bin.

Applications

The APCW-4020-B checkweigher is widely used across automated bottling lines in various industries:

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Verifies fill volume/weight for shampoo, body wash, household cleaners, lotion bottles, facial sprays, and perfume bottles.
• Beverage & Liquid Food: Inspects soft drinks, syrups, fish sauce, cooking oil, and small mineral water bottles.
• Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare: Checks syrup bottles, nasal sprays, medical solution vials, and dietary supplement containers.
• Hardware & Components: Weighs small upright parts or specialized components.
