Check Weigher


The totally re-designed Alpha PW-12 Powered Weigh Table Series Check weigher is your reliable, accurate Checkweighing solution for pouches, bags, & soft-sided containers up to 8 pounds (3.63 kg). The New Model PW-12 consists of a versatile strain gage load cell, CEREBUS IV controls with touch screen operator interface, and a rugged Stainless Steel frame. A continuous conveyor belt moves packages across the scale for consistent and accurate weighing.

 

All weighing operations are centrally controlled from our powerful and flexible CEREBUS IV Checkweighing System. The CEREBUS IV provides a simplified menu and selection structure for all weight setup, control, calibration and testing functions. Setup Programs can be easily entered for each size, weight, container, or package. As a standard, 25 programs can be stored in memory: recalled for use through the touch screen operator entry. No confusing re-programming and lengthy data entry when changing products, sizes, or weights. Exclusive Automatic Calibration feature adjusts your package weight with all relevant operating parameters for optimum accuracy and checkweighing efficiency. Dedicated Test Cycle menu provides easy-to-use selections for all major testing and diagnostic functions. Full-featured Status menu allows display of important weight, class, and operating information directly at the control panel.

 

Useful short term and batch statistics come standard with the CEREBUS IV controlled PW-12.  Individual weight or production statistic can be exported via RS-232 or other communication devices. 

 

Ideally suited for use in conjunction with Form-Fill-Seal equipment, the PW-12 consists of modular, separately driven conveyor/load cell assembly to simultaneously move packages through the checkweigher while weight is determined. The PW-12 can be complimented by separately-driven Infeed or Discharge assemblies to move packages to, and away from the Weigh Table.
