Quick take
Product inspection checkweighing usually comes down to a format decision before a brand decision: do you need a compact pan-style over/under scale, or a powered weigh table that carries product through a line? The listed price spread here is USD 3,980.12. The Rice Lake CW-90-5 is a new over/under checkweigher at the low end of that range, while the three used PW-12 listings from All-Fill and Alpha checkweighers are powered weigh tables or an inline conveyor system. The trade-off is that the used systems bring powered line integration, while the Rice Lake brings new condition and a smaller pan footprint.

Product notes
ALL-FILL PW-12 CHECKWEIGHER Powered Weigh Table USED
The All-Fill PW-12 is a used powered weigh table for production weighing tasks. It runs on 110 VAC, 1 phase, 60 Hz with 24 VDC control voltage, and measures 42 x 42 x 75 with a 252 lb weight. At USD 3,000.00, it is the lower-priced used powered weigh table in this comparison, and it shares that listed price with the inline Alpha Checkweighers system. The 252 lb weight and 42 x 42 x 75 footprint give a clear size reference for planning. The trade-off is age: the date of manufacture is 5/2009, making it the earliest build among the three used PW-12 units.
ALPHA CHECKWEIGHER PW-12 Powered Weigh Table Conveyor scale
The ALPHA CHECKWEIGHER PW-12 is a used powered weigh table with the same 42 x 42 x 75 dimensions and 252 lb weight as the All-Fill, but a 6/2014 manufacture date. It is in working condition after being removed from service about a year ago, and it is listed at USD 5,500.00. The Alpha becomes the more compelling choice when a newer used build matters more than the lowest price. The limitation is the listed price: it is the most expensive listing in the comparison, so it needs the strongest justification for a lower-budget project.
Alpha Checkweighers PW-12 Conveyor Checkweigher System Stainless Inline USED
If product needs to move through the inspection step rather than sit on a pan, this used Alpha system is the inline option to review. The system includes an integrated infeed section, weigh section, and discharge conveyor for inline dynamic weighing. It measures 60 x 46 x 78 and weighs 450 lb, so space planning matters. It is listed at the same price as the All-Fill PW-12. The trade-off is that it is a used 2015 system, which means the secondhand conveyor line has to be assessed for fit and condition.
Rice Lake, CW-90-5, Over/Under Checkweigher 25lb x 0.005lb 115VAC 12x12 Pan NTEP
The Rice Lake CW-90-5 is the compact option for an over/under inspection scale. It is a 25 lb x 0.005 lb over/under scale with 115 VAC input and a 12x12 pan, and it carries the NTEP designation. It is listed at USD 1,519.88, making it the only new listing in the group and the lowest listed price. For a much smaller footprint than the used PW-12 units, this is the option to weigh against. The limitation is format: it is not a powered weigh table or conveyor system, so it suits a compact over/under weighing step rather than an inline flow.
Final recommendation by use case
For an over/under checkweigher, the Rice Lake CW-90-5 is the unit to choose. For a used powered weigh table at a lower price point, the All-Fill PW-12 is the practical starting place. If a newer used build matters, the ALPHA CHECKWEIGHER PW-12 is worth the higher listed price. For inline product flow, the Alpha Checkweighers PW-12 Conveyor Checkweigher System is the integrated option to start with.
