Net weighing

Net weigh bagger

A net weigh bagger fills each bag to a target weight measured in a dedicated weigh hopper. WEIGHTEC SYSTEMS modernizes these machines to restore filling accuracy, control and traceability.

The principle of net weighing

In net weighing, the product is weighed before it enters the bag, which limits the influence of bag tare and product flow. The accuracy therefore depends heavily on the weigh hopper instrumentation and the control that drives the feed gates.

  • Dedicated weigh hopper with reliable load cells
  • Coarse and fine feed control for accuracy
  • Consistent target weight independent of bag type
  • Clear display of the last weighing results

Modernizing control and electronics

WEIGHTEC SYSTEMS upgrades net weigh baggers using Siemens PLCs and Siemens weighing modules. We keep the reusable mechanics, modernize the control/electronics, and at project end the programs, backups and documents are handed over to the client.

  • Replacement of obsolete weigh indicators and controllers
  • Faster, repeatable dosing cycles
  • Traceability of each fill for reporting
  • Simplified adjustment of setpoints and tolerances

Accuracy in daily use

Beyond the electronics, accuracy depends on regular calibration and clean load-cell paths. We verify the mechanical mounting and the feeding behavior so the modernized control performs in production, not only in the workshop.

  • Verification of load-cell mounting and alignment
  • Calibration of the weighing chain
  • Tuning of coarse/fine feed thresholds
  • Operator training on routine checks

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between gross and net weighing?

Net weighing weighs the product in a dedicated hopper before bagging, which improves control of the filled quantity.

Can you improve the accuracy of an existing net weigh bagger?

Yes, by modernizing the weighing electronics and control and by verifying the mechanical mounting.

Do you provide traceability features?

Yes, the modernized control can record each fill for production reporting.
