Teach you six tricks to improve the efficiency of sorting scales

'A thousand miles of dykes break down into an ant's nest' is a well-known idiom in China, as is the case for food and drug production lines. Small errors on a filling line can lead to unacceptable waste. Overfilling waste can be minimized by using a checkweighing system on the line to check product weight and filling level. But like all equipment running online, checkweighers can also cause downtime if not set up and maintained properly. Rule 1: Consider the operating environment of the weight sorting scale. Before purchasing a sorting scale, you should first carefully consider the checkweighing operating environment and the characteristics of your product. A range of factors like humidity, temperature changes, dryness, excessive vibration, air dust, etc. can negatively affect weighing accuracy. If operating conditions are poor and the humidity and dust levels in the air are too high, moisture and dust can enter and damage the conveyor belt and load cell mechanics, reducing machine life. In order to eliminate the impact of wet and dusty operation, you should look for some special checkweighing technology, such as with a sealed housing, machined from a single piece of plastic or metal, etc. This avoids the entry of dust and moisture, and protects the internal precision load cells and conveyor system drive motors from damage and premature aging. Remember to remind employees that there is no unnecessary movement or vibration around the weight sorting scale, such as vibration caused by an employee passing quickly. Even small vibrations or air movements can be detected by sensitive weight sorting scales, causing deviations in the measurement. Rule 2: Install a checkweigher machine suitable for the production line. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for checkweighing. Every production line is different, and the specifics of your equipment determine what specifications you need for a weight sorting scale. Before making a purchasing decision, you should carefully evaluate the various features and specifications of a weight sorting scale to ensure that it is the correct model for your production line. Your product determines whether the conveyor system requires additional features to ensure that the packs are oriented correctly, spaced correctly and placed in a stable manner before reaching the checkweigher. Packaging form, height, weight; whether the product is solid, powder, or liquid; the stability of the packaging, etc.; the product also determines the type of reject equipment, which removes the packaging from the line. Rule 3: Install the checkweigher correctly. Ensuring the correct installation of the sorting scale is also critical. Correctly calibrating the sorting weigherto come up with packages that are significantly above or below the target product weight will not only ensure that you comply with legal weights and measures regulations, but also reduce product waste. Your target weight should be slightly higher than the weight indicated on the package label, as this ensures that the average weight of the product batch will meet legal requirements. Accurate weight sorting scales also allow you to set tighter tolerances above and below your product target weights, allowing you to further reduce waste and minimize underweight products continuing into the back of the line. Rule 4: Train operators properly. When a checkweigher is installed correctly, there is no benefit to the production line if the employees are not trained. Be sure to have a comprehensive training program for all your machine operators and do not allow untrained employees to use the technology. This helps you avoid weighing errors due to incorrect settings or even physical damage. Rule 5: Regularly monitor the checkweigher machine. The key to identifying and remediating in advance what may affect weighing sensitivity and line efficiency is regular monitoring of automated weight reduction systems. Standardized procedures should be implemented in the event of weighing errors. Operators should do and be able to respond quickly to minimize disruption to the production process. Rule 6: Develop a regular maintenance plan. If a part in your checkweigher starts to break down over time, inspecting and fixing the problem early will have a positive impact on the overall uptime of your production line. It is important that you take steps in advance to replace damaged parts (such as conveyor belts) before they cause a malfunction. Many of these tasks can be performed by operators. Additionally, you can use the provider's service technician to ensure that the repair is performed correctly, identifying all parts that need repair.
