Finding the Ideal Weighing Solution for Your Production Lines

In the food industry, weighing is a critical step that affects product quality, regulatory compliance, and production line profitability. In France, approximately 880 tons of food products are lost each year, representing nearly 9.4% of total production, with an estimated cost of €1.18 million—around 4.4% of the revenue of the companies concerned. Accurate and appropriate weighing can reduce these losses, optimize production costs, and improve the profitability of production lines. But how do you choose the most suitable weighing system when your products, formats, and speeds vary?

Identify Needs and Key Criteria

Choosing a weighing system begins with analyzing your products and production lines:

• Bulk solid products (cereals, powders, dry ingredients);
• Fresh products (meats, cheeses, fruits, prepared meals);
• Packaged products (bags, trays, canned goods).

Each type of product comes with specific requirements: dosing accuracy, speed of operation, cold chain compliance, and ease of cleaning.

Beyond product type, several criteria are essential:

• Accuracy: prevent overfilling and control costs;
• Speed: match the actual production line pace;
• Hygiene: meet sanitary standards with easy cleaning;
• Flexibility: quickly adapt to format changes;
• Connectivity: ensure tracking through traceability systems.

Acemia’s Weigher Feeding Solutions

Acemia does not design weighers directly, but rather the feeding systems that supply them with precision and consistency. These solutions play a crucial role in weighing performance by ensuring a steady, controlled product flow that meets the speed and hygiene requirements of production lines.

Whether your lines use a multihead weigher or a checkweigher, the quality of the feeding system directly impacts weighing accuracy and overall productivity.

• Feeding for multihead weighers: ideal for bulk products, this system delivers a homogeneous and controlled product feed, preventing blockages and ensuring an even distribution of portions. It is particularly suited for solid products and precise dosing applications;
• Feeding for checkweighers: designed for high-speed production lines, it provides a continuous and stable product flow toward the weigher. It maintains process speed while ensuring weighing precision and compliance with hygiene standards.

Acemia’s feeding systems integrate seamlessly with your existing weighers, regardless of their models or manufacturers, and can be tailored to the specific constraints of your production lines: variable formats, high throughput, reinforced hygiene requirements, or integration with upstream and downstream equipment.

At Acemia, our expertise lies in designing intelligent conveying and feeding solutions, combining precision, robustness, and adaptability to ensure the continuity and performance of your production lines, whatever their specificities.

A well-designed weigher feeding system goes beyond simple product supply: it optimizes weighing consistency, reduces losses and enhances the quality of finished products. Choosing a tailored Acemia solution means turning weighing into a true driver of performance and profitability.

With Acemia, optimize the feeding of your multihead and checkweighers and turn every gram into added value for your food production lines.
