Various options
The Checkweigher, also known as the fill level inspector, weighs your products and rejects faulty filling levels. With our Checkweigher reject system, you can ensure that no faulty products pass through.
Certified according to the MID, the Checkweigher complies with European standards for legal metrology, making it suitable for regulated applications. The Checkweigher can inspect up to 65 filled units per minute. The data collected by the Checkweigher can be accessed later and exported to Excel for detailed analysis.
Our Checkweigher can handle various types of packaging, including glass and cans. With the easily changeable starwheel, the Checkweigher can be adjusted to accommodate different type of products sizes. The changeover time for the starwheel is under one minute, ensuring minimal downtime.
By integrating our Inline Checkweigher, you will enhance your production line’s efficiency and accuracy, ensuring optimal product quality.
In this blog, we explain what MID-certification means, why it’s essential for businesses that sell pre-packed goods by weight, and how it helps ensure compliance and accuracy. Whether you’re in food, beverage, or contract packaging, understanding MID can help you avoid legal issues and improve operational efficiency.

The Checkweigher is an inline weight scale that inspects the fill level of your products. When the Checkweigher detects a faulty filling level, it rejects the filled product with its pneumatic bump-out system.
A Checkweigher is used to weigh products and ensure they are filled to the correct level. If a product is underfilled or overfilled, the Checkweigher will reject it to maintain quality control.
MID-certified checkweighers used for dynamic weighing must meet strict accuracy standards. The key requirement is the 1% “Tolerable Negative Error” rule, meaning that:
The average deviation of the measured weight must not exceed 1% of the nominal filling quantity for packages bearing the ℮-mark.
This ensures that underfilled products are reliably rejected and that consumers receive consistent and fair quantities.
The Checkweigher can handle various types of packaging by changing the starwheel. The starwheel is designed to be changed easily, ensuring minimal changeover time.
Yes, the reject system communicates with the weighing system and automatically bumps out overfilled or underfilled containers.
MID certification (in accordance with EU Directive 2014/32/EU) guarantees that the checkweigher meets the highest European standards for dynamic weighing accuracy. Even if your product is sold per unit, this certification ensures the integrity of the packaging process. It also allows the use of the ℮-mark (e-mark) on pre-packed goods, which demonstrates compliance with EU average fill regulations supporting transparent, consistent product presentation and helping avoid regulatory issues.
Yes, the starwheel that moves the packaging in the Checkweigher is custom-made to fit your product. This means we can adapt the starwheel to handle any type of packaging, from cans to glass.
Yes, the Checkweigher has a feedback log that provides information to the filler. With this data, the filler can automatically adjust itself to the correct fill levels.
It is possible to fit the Checkweigher in to you current line.
The Inline Checkweigher offers accurate fill level inspection, ensuring defective packages are removed and maintaining high product quality. It inspects up to 70 packages per minute, supports various packaging types, and features a quick changeover time of under one minute. Data collected can be exported to Excel for detailed analysis, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in your production line.
