Checkweigher conveyors
Scales can be integrated directly into conveyor systems or be part of workstations, enabling precise weighing of transported items in various applications. Weighing can occur in static mode, where the item is weighed while stationary, or in dynamic mode, where the item is weighed as it moves across the weighing conveyor. This process is ideal for automated and efficient monitoring of material weights during transport.
Depending on the specific application, scales may be equipped with a conveyor attachment, or weighing may take place directly on the weighing platform, ensuring accuracy even with high material throughput. This flexible weighing system is commonly used in logistics and industrial processes where regular monitoring of product weights is essential.
A specific application is found in weighing conveyors used in airport applications, particularly Check-In conveyors, which facilitate the weighing of baggage and baggage handling during check-in procedures. This application enables efficient weighing and subsequent sorting of baggage based on weight, enhancing overall airport operational efficiency.

FAQs
A checkweigher conveyor is a conveyor with an integrated scale that determines the weight of transported goods directly within the material flow. The scale can be built into a belt or roller conveyor or installed in a work table. It is used for automatic weight checking of parcels, products or baggage during transport without removing them from the line. It is used in distribution centres, parcel depots, manufacturing and airports.
With static weighing, the item is weighed at rest and stops briefly on the weighing surface, increasing accuracy for pieces that need to be weighed individually. With dynamic weighing, the item is weighed while moving across the checkweigher conveyor, so the line does not stop and high throughput is maintained. The choice of mode depends on the required accuracy and the speed of your operation.
A checkweigher conveyor is suitable wherever the weight of goods needs to be checked automatically without manual removal from the line. Typical applications include distribution centres, parcel depots and manufacturing, where it acts as a check scale to verify package completeness or the correct weight. At airports it is used on check-in conveyors for weighing and subsequent baggage sorting. It is suitable for higher-throughput operations where manual weighing would cause delays.
Yes, we design and manufacture checkweigher conveyors to connect to your existing conveyor route and control system. As a Czech manufacturer and integrator, we provide custom design, manufacturing, installation and service, so the scale is matched to the speed and dimensions of the other conveyors in the line. The weighing output can be connected to a higher-level system for recording weight or for automatic sorting according to the measured value.
The price of a checkweigher conveyor is determined mainly by the design and required capacity, weighing accuracy, whether static or dynamic weighing is used and the required line throughput. The dimensions and weight of the goods, construction material, method of connection to the existing conveyor system and requirements for integration with the control system also play a role. We prepare the specific solution and price according to your requirements, so we recommend sending an enquiry describing the operation and the type of goods to be weighed.
