In the field of dynamic weighing technology for industrial applications OCS Checkweighers has become an internationally recognized benchmark for high throughput rates and utmost precision. The company has two main branches, "Food & Pharma" and "Mail & Logistics" which are supplemented by a unit for high quality X-ray scanners to detect foreign objects. Based on this product range OCS can offer optimized combinations tailored to the individual needs of the customers to determine a broad variety of data such as weight, dimensions and contaminations. The vast majority of components, especially those that are critical for precision and reliability, are manufactured in house. Further field of application for the checkweighers and continuous flow weighing systems are the chemical industry, cosmetics and construction materials.

In the mail and logistics sector the company offers verifiable DWS all-in-one systems to determine the dimensions and the weight of parcels and to scan them. These systems comprise a verifiable data merger that can combine information from various sources and a tamper-proof alibi memory that can store these data sets reliably in an MID-compliant way. Furthermore, the "Mail & Logistics" product portfolio includes models to weigh parcels in various weight ranges as well as high throughput multi track systems to weigh letters.

In the "Food & Pharma" sector OCS offers cutting edge checkweighers for state-of-the-art industrial production. That means: Highly precise weighing of large quantities at high throughput rates. Checkweighers manufactured by OCS can weigh all kinds of groceries as precisely as pharmaceutical products. This verifiable technology is capable of weighing up to 600 items per minute and has therefore gained an excellent, worldwide reputation. If necessary, the checkweighers and continuous flow weighing systems can be equipped with AVC (Active Vibration Compensation) weighcell technology that can provide highly precise and ultra fast weighing results even in tough environments that are not free of vibrations, caused for example by other machinery or forklift trucks. Thanks to a modular design the comprehensive product range of OCS Checkweighers GmbH can offer numerous options for a maximum of flexibility to meet the specific requirements of a broad variety of applications and products.

In addition to checkweighers and continuous flow weighing systems OCS Checkweighers also develops and manufactures cutting edge automatic X-ray scanners. These inspection systems are available in several form factors and for various fields of application. They can for example monitor the density of the products or scan them for foreign objects without any negative impact on the productivity or the throughput rate. With their reliable detection of foreign objects and their automatic identification of product faults such as incorrect filling levels, deformations or missing elements they are a crucial factor of state-of-the-art quality management.

Thanks to their comprehensive, long-term experience in the fields of product handling and system integration OCS Checkweighers GmbH is a reliable partner for conveyor systems for Track & Trace applications.
