Spiraling cost of raw materials, customer demand for lower prices and constant pressure in reducing costs to remain profitable means that manufacturers can't afford to giveaway even 0.5g of expensive products in overfill.
Reducing overfill by only 0.5g per pack can save over 100,000 €
Giving away 0.5g per pack may not sound very much but you can see in the following example how quickly investing in a stable and accurate GARVENS X-series checkweigher pays back.
| Line performance | 200 packs/min |
| Price per gramme | 0.0037 € |
0.5g overfill per pack | 0.00185 €/pack |
| Cost per minute | 0.37 €/min |
| Cost per hour | 22.20 €/hr |
| Cost per day (3 shifts, 20 hour production) | 444 €/day |
| Cost per year (230 days of production) | 102, 120 €/yr |
