Adhering to trade measurement requirements

As retailers continue to develop more stringent quality assurance standards for foreign object detection, it’s important you choose the most reliable equipment that not only meets, but exceeds, the standards.

Several retailers now require 100% of all finished retail packed product to be inspected by electronic check weighing systems to demonstrate compliance to label weight / volume. Alternatively, manufacturers might be looking to reduce giveaway through applying the Average Quantity System (AQS).

When investing in a check weighing system you should consider:

• Product specifications: the system you choose must be matched with the type of product you plan to weigh both now and into the future.
• Compliance & data management: the system should allow you to retain, retrieve and verify production data.
• Production volume: higher production volumes will place greater wear and tear on your system, so it’s important that you choose the most reliable system based on your budget.

Get the best of both worlds with a combination system

If you need to address both requirements then it may be worth considering a combination system, which combines metal detection or x-ray capabilities with a check weighing system.
