Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced an upgraded checkweigher product line to improve accuracy and reliability and decrease maintenance for food, pharmaceutical, and personal care companies that package products in pouches, bags, and cartons.

The newest models of the Thermo Scientific Versa checkweigher line offer more than 10 engineering and functionality improvements for robust performance. This includes upgraded conveyor design, frame, load cell, reject mechanism, motor, and mounting.

Thermo Fisher designed modifications to improve weighing accuracy. For combination checkweigher/metal detector systems, optional software provides metal detector reject information on the checkweigher screen. Moving average capability also provides real-time feedback on production metrics.

To help support global usage, screen language options include Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, English (U.K. and U.S. versions), French, German, Italian, Latvian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish, and Turkish.

The line is available in two models: the fixed-height Thermo Scientific Global VersaWeigh and the cantilevered Global Versa GP, which allows height adjustment.The Global VersaWeigh is suitable for products up to 10 kg, while the Global Versa GP model targets up to 3 kg. The company’s global manufacturing and service footprint facilitates international equipment availability and support.

The Versa checkweighers are engineered for wet or dry environments, are easy to clean, and can handle a wide range of package sizes. Large, easy-to-read, color touchscreen displays and intuitive design make the units simple to operate.
