Our Fresh Produce Checkweighers
Built in the UK – for the Demands of the Fresh Produce Industry

Beyond just weighing, our checkweighers can collect valuable production data, which can highlight trends and be exported to your factory software systems. This allows you to spot inefficiencies, make better decisions and avoid food waste.
We’ll work closely with you to tailor a checkweighing system that fits your food production line. This may include adjustments to conveyor width, weighing capacity, reject systems and guarding.
Why Choose Driver Southall?
Packing loose potatoes is very different from packing delicate berries. That’s why we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach.
Instead, we focus on creating a solution that fits your operation, helping you tighten weight control without slowing production. We’ll work with you to set practical weight targets based on your product, while keeping an eye on trends so potential issues are picked up early.
The result? Reduced product giveaway – which is one of the biggest hidden costs in fresh produce packing.
Fresh Produce Metal Detection Systems
Weight accuracy is only part of the picture. Contamination is another serious risk in fresh produce processing. Stones, fragments of machinery or other foreign bodies can find their way into the line. Therefore we offer combination units that feature both checkweighing and metal detection in a single machine.
These systems help detect ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel contaminants while still checking every pack for correct weight, giving you two essential checks in one.
