Designed for robust performance, the C33 PlusLine Washdown Checkweigherincludes a combination of reliable weighing accuracy with rugged machine design. It delivers high precision weighing in harsh environments. The system design makes cleaning and maintenance simple and features easy dismantling and reassembly of system conveyors, as well as self-adjusting elastic belts that remove the need for tensioning. In most cases, cleaning with the parts in place is possible, and the flip-up design of the conveyors allows easy access to all critical areas.
