Efficient weight control and checkweighing systems are essential for bakery production lines to meet consumer expectations and comply with regulations. By using smart checkweighers, manufacturers can ensure net weight compliance, enhance food safety, protect brand integrity, and contribute to sustainability by reducing waste.

Global weight regulations require products to meet specified weight standards, and non-compliance can lead to penalties and potential fraud charges. Inline checkweighing is crucial for bakery plants, where dough's live nature demands precise weight monitoring to avoid waste and maintain consistency. This applies to various products, from pizza dough to gluten-free items, where costlier ingredients necessitate tight control to minimize giveaways.

Automated checkweighing systems, although not as regulated as HACCP equipment, are vital for quality control. Key features for optimal performance include fast recalculations, hygienic designs, secure access, modular electronics, dynamic load cell technology, and advanced reporting software.

Fortress Technology's Raptor checkweigher is available in various belt widths and can handle products up to 17lbs, with options for bulk items up to 110lbs. Integrated systems with metal detectors and customized solutions are also available.
