SiroSilo
Dynamic Checkweigher
Whether you want to check the weight of food, drinks, medicines, health products, 3C electronics, daily chemicals, or agricultural and sideline products, the dynamic checkweigher can be your right helper.
It can help you eliminate overweight or underweight products so that standard-weight products can reach every customer, which not only avoids increasing costs due to overweight but also avoids offending consumers due to underweight.
SiroSilo in-motion checkweigher’s weighing range is 20g-40Kg.
If your product weight is out of this range, you are welcome to contact us via WhatsApp or Email for customization, such as the roller conveyor scale shown in the photo below:

What is Dynamic Checkweigher?
A dynamic checkweigher weighs each item passing through the production line, classifies each passing product according to the preset weight zone, and then releases or rejects the product based on the weighing results.
Simply put, checkweighers weigh, sort, and separate products.
Working Principle
Please refer to the photo below to better understand the working principle of the in-motion checkweigher.
The product passes through the infeed conveyor first, conveying a single product at a time within a specific time interval.
Then, the product forwards to the scale conveyor and presses the load cell sensor, completing the product checkweighing.
Load Cell Sensor
Last, the weighed product comes to the outfeed conveyor, and the rejector discharges the overweight/underweight product from the conveyor.
Applications
Industries such as pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, cosmetics, and logistics have introduced a large number of in-motion checkweighers to the end of production lines.
Checkweighers have the following applications in these industries:
- Overweight/Underweight Products Rejection
- Product Weight Grade Classification
- Production Line Efficiency Monitoring
- Missing Components (Caps, Lids, Labels, Accessories) Detection
- Reports Generation for Production Line Process Analysis & Adjustment
Schematic
The following figure is a structural schematic of an in-motion conveyor scale.
As can be seen from this figure, the inline conveyor scale consists of three sections:
- Infeed Conveyor
- Checkweighing Conveyor
- Outfeed Conveyor
The components it contains are:
- 304 Stainless Steel Frame
- Conveyor Belt
- Emergency Stop Switch
- Guide Inlet
- HD Touchscreen
- Photoelectric Sensor
- Power Switch
- Quick Release Buckle
- Rejector
- Stack Alarm Light

Price
In line checkweigher’s price in the Chinese market varies depending on the weighing range and brand, its range is US$3,500.00-8,000.00.
Dynamic Checkweigher Choice
Although checkweigher manufacturers are checkweighing experts, they do not know your production line as well as you do.
Only by combining the manufacturer’s checkweighing expertise and your in-depth understanding of the production line can you find a checkweighing solution that matches your needs.
SiroSilo recommends you start with the following aspects.
Product & Package
Most of the checkweighing is package processing, the package style, size and weight of the product determine the design, accuracy, and auxiliary equipment of the checkweigher.
Popular package styles include:
- Can
- Tube
- Pouch
- Bottle
- Bucket
- Sachet
- Folding Carton
- Cardboard Box
According to different product packages, the checkweigher integrates with different conveyors (roller, belt) and guide stabilizing devices.
Speed
Ideally, the checkweigher rate perfectly matches the speed of the upstream & downstream equipment.
Because a high checkweighing rate leads to accuracy reduction, excessive pursuit of high speed will sacrifice accuracy.
If you must keep high speed and accuracy due to the output requirements of each shift, we recommend you introduce a lane divider to cut the production line into multiple sub-lines, and each sub-line integrates with a checkweigher.
Weighing Range
The table below shows the weighing range of common conveyor checkweighers in the Chinese market:
As long as your product weighs less than or equal to 40 kg, many manufacturers can supply suitable conveyor checkweighers.
If your product weighs more than 40 kg, you are welcome to contact us for customization.

Accuracy
Because the product moves dynamically with the checkweigher’s conveyor, more factors affect its accuracy:
- Package Size & Weight
- Stability in Motion
- Load Cell Brand
- Conveyor Type
- Checkweighing Speed
- Working Environment
The checkweigher selected after comprehensive consideration of the above factors can meet your accuracy requirements.
Rejector
Rejector selection depends on product weight, fragility, package style, etc.
Common rejectors on the Chinese market include:
- Single Arm
- Double Arm
- Flip Up Flap
- Air Jet
- Push Plate
- Telescopic Belt
- Drop Belt
- Gantry Pusher
- Fin
Place of Use
Generally speaking, checkweighers will integrate a windshield to protect them from wind and improve their detection accuracy.
In addition to the effects of wind and airflow, the following environmental factors also need notice:
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Salinity
- Corrosive Environment
- Explosive Places
Combination & Integration
The checkweigher is integrable with various packaging equipment for combination, such as metal detectors, cartoning machines, FFS, tube fillers, case packers, etc.
In addition, there are all-in-one metal detector checkweighers on the market that integrate metal detection and checkweighing functions.
This all-in-one machine occupies a small area and can simplify your production line, thereby reducing your maintenance time and costs.
