- Overweight Package Detection: Detects packages exceeding programmed weight thresholds, supporting consistent product weights, improved packaging quality control and reduction of excessive product giveaway.

- Automatic Package Rejection: Uses an integrated mechanical arm reject system to remove packages that fall outside established weight tolerances, supporting automated separation of nonconforming products from the production line.

- Food Packaging Quality Control: Provides weight verification for compatible packaged food products, including sealed cartons, jars, bottles, trays and stable flexible packages used in food manufacturing and packaging operations.

- Pharmaceutical Packaging Inspection: Supports secondary weight verification of compatible pharmaceutical bottles, cartons and packaged products containing tablets, capsules, caplets and other pharmaceutical formulations.

- Nutraceutical and Dietary Supplement Inspection: Checks packaged vitamins, dietary supplements, protein products, herbal supplements and other nutritional products for weight consistency during automated packaging operations.

- Cosmetic and Personal Care Packaging: Provides weight inspection for packaged creams, lotions, shampoos, cosmetics and other personal hygiene products, helping identify packages that fall outside programmed weight limits.

- Household Product Inspection: Verifies the weight of compatible packaged detergents, cleaning supplies, household chemicals and consumer products during packaging and distribution preparation.

- Filling Line Quality Assurance: Supports downstream package weight inspection following liquid filling, powder filling, tablet counting or other filling processes to help identify potential inconsistencies in product quantity.

- Contract Packaging Operations: Provides automated weight inspection for contract manufacturers and packaging facilities handling different compatible packaged products requiring consistent weight verification.

- Automated Packaging Line Integration: May be incorporated into appropriately configured packaging lines downstream of filling, capping, sealing or labeling equipment and upstream of cartoning, case packing or palletizing operations.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

- What is the Ishida Model DACS-G-S060-22/CR-I-S checkweigher used for?

The Ishida DACS-G-S060-22/CR-I-S is an automatic conveyor-mounted checkweigher designed to inspect individual package weights during production. It is used for in-line weight verification, underweight and overweight product detection, automatic rejection and packaging quality control in food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic and other industrial packaging applications.

- What is the maximum weighing capacity of this Ishida checkweigher?

The machine has an approximate maximum weighing capacity of 6,000 grams (6 kg). Actual weighing accuracy and operating performance depend on product characteristics, conveyor speed, package dimensions and machine configuration.

- How does an automatic conveyorized checkweigher operate?

An automatic checkweigher transports individual packaged products through a weighing station using a conveyor system. Each package is weighed and compared against established weight acceptance limits. Products meeting the programmed criteria continue through the line, while packages outside the acceptable weight range can be directed to the reject mechanism.

- Does this Ishida checkweigher include an automatic reject system?

Yes. The machine is equipped with a mechanical arm reject mechanism designed to remove packaged products that fall outside established weight tolerances. This supports automatic separation of underweight and overweight packages from acceptable products during production.

- Can this checkweigher detect both underweight and overweight products?

Yes. The equipment is designed for automated package weight inspection and can identify products weighing below or above established acceptance limits. This helps manufacturers identify potential underfilling, excessive product weight and other packaging inconsistencies.

- What are the dimensions of the conveyor system?

The machine features a three-section conveyor configuration. The infeed conveyor measures 9-1/2" wide x 13-1/2" long, the weighing station measures 9-1/2" wide x 9-1/2" long, and the discharge conveyor measures 9-1/2" wide x 21-1/2" long.

- What is the purpose of the three-section conveyor design?

The infeed section transfers products toward the weighing station, the center conveyor supports dynamic weight measurement, and the discharge section transports inspected packages away from the weighing area. This arrangement allows automated package handling and in-line weight inspection.

- What operator control system is installed on this checkweigher?

The machine includes a Panasonic EB1126 human-machine interface (HMI) for operator interaction and machine controls. Specific weighing functions, available settings and operating parameters should be verified for this unit.

- What types of products can this Ishida checkweigher inspect?

Potential products include compatible packaged foods, pharmaceutical bottles, dietary supplements, cosmetic containers, household goods, sealed pouches, cartons and other packaged consumer or industrial products. Individual package dimensions, stability and weight must be compatible with the conveyor and weighing system.

- Can this checkweigher inspect sealed pouches and flexible packages?

Potentially. Sealed flexible packages may be suitable if they can travel consistently across the weighing conveyor without excessive movement, instability or product shifting. Package dimensions, conveyor speed and weighing performance should be verified for the intended application.

- Can this machine inspect pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products?

The equipment may be suitable for weight inspection of compatible pharmaceutical and nutraceutical packaging, including bottles, cartons and sealed containers. Buyers should confirm applicable weighing accuracy, validation, sanitation and regulatory requirements before installation.

- Can this Ishida checkweigher be integrated into an existing packaging line?

The machine may be incorporated into an appropriately configured automated packaging line. Potential upstream equipment includes filling machines, cappers, sealers and labelers. Downstream equipment may include conveyors, cartoners, case packers and palletizers. Integration depends on conveyor elevations, line speed, package spacing and control requirements.

- What is the difference between an automatic checkweigher and a conventional industrial scale?

A conventional industrial scale is generally used to weigh a stationary product or load. An automatic checkweigher measures individual package weights while products move through a conveyor system, allowing continuous weight verification without stopping the packaging line for manual weighing.

- What electrical service is required?

The Ishida checkweigher requires 120/240-volt, single-phase, 60 Hz electrical service. Buyers should verify the unit's electrical configuration and facility requirements before installation.

- What are the overall dimensions of the machine?

Approximate overall dimensions are 46" long x 39" wide x 56" high. These measurements are useful when evaluating production floor space, conveyor integration, facility access and transportation requirements.
