Product catalog summary

Introduction to Check Weighing: Check weighers are automated systems used to verify the weight of packaged goods for internal control and external trade. They are essential at the end of production lines, ensuring compliance with legal standards such as the O.I.M.L. recommendation R51 and the European MID directive.

Types of Check Weighing: There are two main categories:

Category X: Determines only the package mass, useful for pricing calculations.
Category Y: Compares package content against defined tolerances for acceptance or rejection, with non-compliant packages automatically removed.

Both categories can operate statically or dynamically, with PENKO instruments excelling in dynamic conditions due to advanced filtering processes.
