A new checkweigher line for dry applications has been added to the Thermo Fisher Scientific Versa range.

The Versa Flex (fixed height) and Versa Flex GP (height adjustable cantilever) checkweighers are designed to improve accuracy and reliability while decreasing product giveaway, maintenance and total cost of ownership.

The line targets dry applications such as baked goods, snack foods, prepared foods, condiments, pastas/rice/beans and baking ingredients such as flour and sugar.

“Our existing Versa checkweighers have been built to accommodate IP65 washdown for wet product applications. However, the washdown capability was an unused feature for companies packaging dry products. We developed the Versa Flex models to make precision checkweighing more affordable for companies that previously couldn’t justify the expenditure,” explains Rick Cash, product manager, checkweighers, Thermo Fisher Scientific.
