In processing, packaging, and quality control, sorting products into different weight categories requires high speed and absolute accuracy. The APCW-016 Multi-Stage Checkweigher & Sorting Machine is a smart automation solution that automatically measures and sorts small packaged items into distinct weight ranges, completely replacing labor-intensive manual sorting.

ETEK proudly supplies authentic APCW-016 Multi-Stage Checkweighers, fully customizable with flexible sorting levels tailored to specific factory requirements.

What is the APCW-016 Multi-Stage Checkweigher?

The APCW-016 Multi-Stage Checkweigher is an automated dynamic weighing system integrated with a lane-diverting conveyor. The system measures the real-time weight of each product passing over the weighing platform and automatically diverts it to the corresponding port/lane based on pre-set weight ranges.

Automated Operating Process:

  • Receiving & Dynamic Weighing: The conveyor transfers products across the 700 × 500 mm weighing section. Precision load cells accurately determine each product’s weight.
  • Analysis & Grading: The control panel receives data, compares it against target weight thresholds in the active profile, and identifies the corresponding grade.
  • Lane Sorting: The system triggers the divert mechanism to route the product to the correct port or lane based on quality standards or product tiers.

Applications

The APCW-016 is widely used to sort small packaged products (from 30 g to 1,000 g) across various industries:

  • Food & Agricultural Processing: Grading fruits, packaged vegetables, sausages, seafood, fresh/frozen meat, and dried nut pouches into weight tiers (Grade A, B, C, etc.).
  • Confectionery & Snacks: Categorizing packaged biscuits, candy bags, snacks, and small portion items by weight.
  • Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics: Sorting blister packs, cosmetic boxes, and dietary supplement sachets according to weight specs.
  • Hardware & Small Components: Sorting bags of industrial fasteners, parts, and hardware accessories.
