I seem to be using this an awful lot, it must be good! :thumbup:

We use Loma checkweighers, which as anyone who uses them may know, are more of a weight comparitor than a checkweigher per-se.

We often get questions from UK Trading Standards and auditors concerning their use and
calibration. Does anyone have a definitive answer to the perennial question as to how one calibrates a Loma? We use the repeatability check system installed on the machine. Is there another simple check we can do.

Off for a beer now, as it's home time. Have a good one. :bye:

I used a standard weight box that I ran n times over the equipment.
The weight of the standard box was checked on a calibrated scale before and after the run.
From the average and the standard deviation one can determine performance.
Besides that I checked without runnng the belt drive system with weights.

Remember to share good fortune with your friends, Okido
