Contract Packaging Organization Installs Checkweigher To Solve Accuracy Challenges

By Kyle Thomas, Mettler-Toledo Hi-Speed

Quality Packaging Specialists, Inc., a custom contract packing company, thrives in a crowded market by providing high quality production, responsive service and competitive prices. To consistently meet the highest quality standards on their most challenging products – small multipacks of dietary supplements – they turned to Mettler-Toledo Hi- Speed and selected the XS1 checkweigher to identify and remove under and over-weight packages.

“Everybody is looking for 100 percent quality all the time and that’s what we strive to achieve. We are here to deliver the best quality that is physically possible,” said Chuck Stoudt, President of Quality Packaging. “As the complexity of multipacks grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to assure the high level of product quality that we demand. With the XS1 checkweigher, we’re confident we’re giving customers exactly what they expect.”

The XS1 checkweigher is designed for pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, handling products of less than 200 g with unparalleled accuracy at high production speeds. Featuring Mettler-Toledo Hi-Speed’s electromagnetic force restoration (EMFR) weigh cell, the XS1 achieves an accuracy of plus or minus 20 mg at 2 sigma while handling up to 400 packages per minute.
