WeighStar

Technology

The WeighStar inspection system is ideal for checking fill level of cans on microbrew production lines. The device incorporates a precision load cell that weighs the can to determine fill. A simple touch screen interface allows direct entry to set over and under limits. Each can’s weight is displayed as well as the total production count and eject count.
