Thermo Scientific Versa Teorema checkweigher for high-rate food can lines

The Thermo Scientific Versa Teorema checkweigher provides accurate operation at line rates up to 660 cans/min. It is suitable for checkweighing a variety of canned food products including soups, vegetables, fruits, beans, sauces and seafood.

The checkweigher offers easy-to-use touch-screen control, a helix infeed, a high-rate reject system and additional communications capabilities. A full mesh cover is available for enhanced safety.

Because the checkweigher does not rely on a traditional conveyor-style weigh table, there is a lower ‘wear vulnerability’ at higher production speeds. This results in reduced maintenance requirements and improved reliability, according to the company.

The checkweigher’s stainless steel design enables it to be used in wet and other harsh environments. It can checkweigh both closed and open cans, giving processors the option of using the checkweigher further upstream before more expensive ingredients have been added.

The United Kingdom’s National Measurement Office (NMO) has certified that the Versa Teorema is in compliance with European Council Directive 2004/22/EC for measuring instruments. Further, the Teorema has been certified by NMO for accuracy class XIII(1) (e ≥ 0.5 g) under the Measuring Instruments Directive and the Organisation Internationale de Métrologie Légale (OIML R51 - Edition 2006(E)).
