Prevent product giveaway and reduce costs

In the competitive food industry, every gram counts. Small deviations in filling weight can lead to significant product waste, unnecessary product giveaway, and consequently higher operational costs. These inefficiencies not only cause financial losses, but can also damage sustainability efforts and brand reputation. For many producers, these are daily challenges they want to solve to drastically reduce both costs and waste.

Feedback control is an advanced feature on checkweighing systems that intelligently optimizes the filling process by preventing under- and overfilling in real time. The system continuously measures the weight of products on the production line and automatically adjusts whenever deviations are detected. This immediately corrects filling drift caused by changing environmental factors, product characteristics, or filling equipment. This process ensures that every package contains exactly the right amount, which not only reduces product waste and unnecessary giveaway, but also contributes to higher and more consistent product quality.

A real-world example is Greenyard Frozen Belgium N.V., a leading company in the food industry. By choosing checkweighers with feedback control, Greenyard successfully optimized their filling processes. Thanks to the automatic adjustment of the filling machines, product waste was significantly reduced, while costs were cut and customer satisfaction increased. This demonstrates that smart technology not only delivers cost savings, but also supports sustainable manufacturing processes.

To help customers and partners experience these benefits firsthand, METTLER TOLEDO is hosting an interactive, short yet informative webinar on July 28 and December 8, 2026. These sessions will cover the operation, benefits, and implementation of feedback control on checkweighers in detail. You will gain practical insights and examples to optimize your own production process. Register on the page to participate.
