Production Checkweighers Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product Type (In-Motion Checkweighers, Intermittent Checkweighers), By End-use Industry (Food & Beverage, Pharmaceuticals, Chemical, Automotive, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

A production checkweigher is a weight measuring instrument that is designed to check the weight of the item during the manufacturing process on the production line. Typically, a checkweigher has feed belt, weighing belt and reject belt that completes the whole production cycle. It is specifically utilized as a part of a manufacturing quality control unit. Its weighing results are required to ensure that manufacturing site fulfils the packaging regulations and laws during production. The automatic checkweighers are utilized for high-speed production lines, whereas the manual checkweighers are being used for small batch size production.

It is utilized across industries including, chemicals, food & beverage, medical and others. The production checkweighers are mostly used at the end of the production lines. However, in a few industrial applications such as baking, it is required at the beginning processes. Across industries, it minimizes the manufacturing production waste that is boosting its demand in the global market.

Manufacturers including, MULTIVAC, Minebea Intec, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., METTLER TOLEDO, WIPOTEC-OCS GmbH, etc. are manufacturing highly customized checkweighers with industry-leading configurations to ensure optimized production procedures and precise product delivery. For instance, METTLER TOLEDO offers multi-lane checkweighers to handle any package design at high production rate for the food &beverage, non-food industry. The company also integrates metal detection and X-ray technology in its checkweighing product portfolio. This in turn, is augmenting the growth of the global production checkweighers market over the forecast period.

The manufacturing industry has drastically affected by the COVID-19 outbreak owing to, the mandatory shutdown of factories by the governmental bodies across the globe. The large industrial organizations have dropped the capital expenditure to counter the downturn in raw material prices during the lockdown. It has directly impacted the checkweighers market as it is largely utilized in several industrial applications.

However, the key market players are taking initiatives to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 outbreak on their production business. For instance, in June 2020, Mettler Toledo introduced production checkweighers to ensure high-precision weighing in harsh environmental conditions. Additionally, in April 2020, Minebea Intec is supporting CanSino, a biopharmaceutical company to ensure the reliable weighing results, rapid transmission and precise dosing of the measured data in these difficult conditions. These factors eventually boosting the demand for checkweighers across industrial applications, even in the current pandemic situation. Therefore, on a long term basis, the outlook foresees the dynamic growth for the global production checkweighers market.
