“We are very excited to offer this high-quality product line to the European market,” said Volkert-Jan Hage, checkweigher product manager for Thermo Fisher Scientific. “With the MID certification, we can now provide full verification support to our customers throughout an entire project, and this ensures their solution is tailored to their unique production line.”

For countries outside the EU-MID markets, the Thermo Scientific line of checkweighers is also certified by the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML). Countries such as China and Australia can now benefit from Thermo Fisher Scientific’s research, manufacturing expertise and its worldwide service and support network. 

The new line of Versa checkweighers helps customers reduce costs while increasing productivity and profitability in their businesses. The checkweighers are designed with powerful software that enables a greater variety of options and specific user applications such as filler feedback control, 21 CFR 11 for the pharmaceutical industry and ‘Multi Line’ or special OEM applications. 

The Versa GP, like the VersaWeigh, includes a color, touch-screen interface that is easy to use and read. For increased functionality, the Versa GP’s infeed conveyor can be fitted with the Thermo Scientific APEX metal detector to provide a complete weight control and contaminant inspection station.
