In the food and beverage industry, consistency is king. Whether it’s a packet of chips, a jar of jam, or a bottle of juice, customers expect every pack to match the label—down to the gram. Yet for manufacturers, achieving that precision is easier said than done.

Weighing variance—when product weights drift above or below the target—can cause serious problems. Overfilled packs lead to product giveaways, eroding profit margins. Underfilled packs risk non-compliance with regulatory standards, potentially damaging brand reputation and customer trust. The challenge becomes even greater with high-speed production lines, fluctuating product characteristics, and demanding hygiene requirements.

Recognising these challenges, Minebea Intec has recently launched the Essentus® Advanced L checkweigher, a solution designed to make precise weight control simpler, faster, and more cost-effective. This innovative system is built on proven German engineering, tailored for the demanding needs of modern food and beverage operations.

One of its standout features is the automatic learning function, which sets up optimal weighing parameters without the need for deep technical knowledge. This means faster commissioning, minimal operator error, and quicker return to peak performance after product changeovers. Coupled with automatic speed regulation, the Essentus® adapts seamlessly to production flow changes while maintaining accuracy.

The system’s robust stainless steel conveyor design and wide range of belt sizes ensure stable product handling, reducing errors caused by vibration or misalignment. It also offers role-based access control, ensuring that only authorised personnel can make critical adjustments, safeguarding accuracy and compliance.

Beyond precision, the Essentus® Advanced L brings actionable insights. Its advanced display not only shows real-time weights but also detailed statistical analyses—tracking averages, standard deviations, and rejection counts. This allows operators to spot trends and make immediate process corrections before small variances become costly issues.

For food and beverage environments where hygiene is paramount, the Essentus® delivers with IP65-rated protection and stainless steel construction, making it easy to clean and resistant to corrosion.

With this new launch, Minebea Intec offers more than just a checkweigher—it delivers a reliable partner for quality assurance. The Essentus® Advanced L empowers producers to maintain tight control over product weights, reduce waste, and protect their brand reputation, all while maximising production efficiency.

In a market where every gram counts, the Essentus® Advanced L ensures that your products meet the highest standards—consistently, confidently, and cost-effectively.
