What is the Difference Between Static and Dynamic Checkweighing?

Before choosing a checkweigher, it’s important to understand whether a static or dynamic checkweigher suits your needs.

Static checkweighers require hands-on interaction to move product on and off the scale. These are often used for quality control to weigh only a small percentage of products. Static checkweighers have a lower initial cost compared to in-motion checkweighers, and can be used as a portable and/or regular scale when needed.

In contrast, in-motion, also known as dynamic, checkweighers automatically weigh products as they move through the production line. These types of checkweighers feature additional options such as custom programming and diverting methods to maintain production rates.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Checkweigher

It’s important to speak to a scale distributor as you’re defining your checkweighing goals because each application may be different. Think about these factors when deciding the proper solution:
