Complementary elements
Weighing systems
At SAIZAR, we integrate weighing systems into our strapping and packaging lines as a complementary part of the process. The aim is to enable you to incorporate weight control directly into your own facility, without relying on external operations or manual off line steps.
Weighing is important when you need to control the weight of the product, improve traceability and link that information to other parts of the production line, such as labelling or customer control systems. In our range of automated production lines, the weighing system is one of the components that can be integrated along conveying, lifting, compacting, forming, strapping, labelling and wrapping systems.
How we integrate weighing in SAIZAR
We design each weighing system to suit the product, the flow of the facility and the point in the process where it makes the most sense to capture the information. We do not treat weighing as an isolated element, but as part of a comprehensive packaging solution.
Integrated weighing on trolleys, tables, conveyors or lifts
We can integrate weighing systems into trolleys, tables, conveyors or lifts, depending on the line design and the way the product moves within the plant. This allows us to adapt the weighing point to the actual path of the material and ensure consistency with the rest of the installation.
Integration with quality control and labelling
The weight data can be used to enhance quality control and traceability, and it can also be sent to both the customer’s computer and the labeller itself. In this way, the weight is integrated into the production line’s data flow and can form part of the final product labelling.
The weight data can also be used for any commercial transactions the customer may wish to carry out, for the sale of the product.
On-site benefits
Integrating weighing into the production line helps you organize your process more efficiently and provide you more useful information within the production flow itself. By not removing the product from the facility to weigh it, you reduce intermediate operations and maintain a more continuous workflow. This integration becomes even more valuable when weight forms part of internal process control or exit labelling.
Typical benefits of this solution:
- Weight control in the production line itself, without relying on external processes.
- More traceability, as weight data can be incorporated into the facility’s information flow.
- Integration with labelling, so that the weight can be included on the product’s final label.
- Adaptation to your plant layout, integrating weighing into trolleys, tables, conveyors or lifts.
- A custom project, as the system forms part of a line designed to meet your actual needs.

What we need to prepare a quote for you
To properly define the weighing system, we usually need to know the product it needs to be strapped, its weight, its minimum and maximum dimensions, the target productivity and the space available on the production floor. It is also important to know what other elements you wish to integrate into the line, as weighing is often coordinated with equipment related to the handling, lifting or labelling of the product.
Within the same project, we also work with data relating to communication, databases, etc., that you wish to include in the installation. Furthermore, it is very helpful for us to have a photo of the installation space and the product so that we can better tailor the system design from the outset.
Frequently asked questions
Is the weighing system a stand-alone unit or is it integrated into the production line?
We integrate it as part of the strapping and packaging line, along other equipments of the system.
Where can the weighing system be installed?
We can integrate it into trolleys, tables, conveyors or lifts, depending on the design of your production line.
What is the purpose of integrating weighing into an automated production line?
It is used to monitor the weight of the product, strengthen quality control and improve traceability within the process itself.
Can the weight be linked to the labelling?
Yes, the data can be sent to the labelling equipment to form part of the final product identification.
Can the information also be sent to the customer’s system?
Yes, the weight can be sent to the customer’s computer as part of the production line’s data flow, via various communication channels.
Can the weighing system be combined with other equipment?
Yes, in our range of automatic lines, weighing is part of the equipment that can be integrated alongside conveying, lifting, compacting, forming, strapping, labelling or wrapping.
What information do you need to prepare a quote?
Product, weight, dimensions, productivity, available space, and which other elements you wish to integrate in the line.
Does the system need to be adapted to the plant layout?
Yes, the position of the weighing station depends on the product’s route and the type of installation, which is why we adapt it to the actual flow of your plant.
Do you provide weighing solutions as part of turnkey projects?
Yes, we supply turnkey projects, tailoring the design to each client’s specific needs and circumstances.
Do you offer technical support and spare parts?
Yes, we provide a technical support service for maintenance and the supply of spare parts.
