ANRITSU SSV-H High-accuracy checkweighers for food & pharmaceuticals

Anritsu SSV-h checkweighers are reliable, high-performance quality assurance systems for high-speed food and pharmaceutical production lines.

High-value product and high accuracy applications
These SSV-h weighing systems are ideal for:

• Pharmaceutical production lines.
• Small to large retail packs where accuracy is important.
• A wide variety of package types: bags, trays, cartons, jars, cans, and bottles.
• High-speed applications up to 600 packs/min.
• High-value products where accurate feedback to fillers is crucial.
• Product weight ranges: 0.4 - 100g, 1.2 - 600g, 6 - 3000g.
• Single, dual or multi-lane applications.
• Classification or grading applications.
• Available in combinations with metal detection or x-ray units.

Meet regulatory requirements
Checkweighing machines inspect 100% of products on a manufacturing line. They are essential quality assurance equipment which ensures that manufacturers meet regulatory weight requirements (such as the Average Quantity System (AQS) ) and to prevent unnecessary giveaway:

1. Weighs package contents to check the nominal product weight is within prescribed limits;
2. Rejects non-compliant packs;
3. If the weights are underweight or overweight, the system feeds the data back to the packaging process so that adjustments are made to correct the fill weights.
4. Records 100% of the production data for quality assurance and traceability.

Cost savings through process monitoring
Checkweighing also provides savings by preventing unnecessary giveaway and monitoring production efficiencies:

1. Prevents underweight products being shipped or products with missing components.
2. Monitors line abnormalities by raising alarms for excessive overweights.
3. Reduces wastage through trend control of the filling machine.

Consistent accuracy
The SSV-h series checkweigher is equipped with a high-performance force balance weigh cell to ensure your product consistently meets legal requirements.
