Unknown - Multi-Head Weigher

• Precisely weighing and dispensing granular products such as snacks, nuts, and confectionery.
• Portioning fresh produce like salads, fruits, and vegetables for retail packaging.
• Accurately measuring frozen foods, including peas, chips, and prepared meals.
• Handling non-food items such as small hardware components, pet food, and agricultural seeds.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, typical weighing capacities range from a few grams up to several kilograms per discharge.

Power supply

Commonly, units of this type operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.

Number of heads

Multi-head weighers typically feature between 10 and 24 heads, influencing speed and accuracy.

Throughput

Throughput rates commonly vary from 60 to over 120 weighments per minute, depending on the number of heads and product characteristics.

Construction material

Units are typically constructed from stainless steel, suitable for food contact and washdown environments.

Footprint

The footprint for multi-head weighers can vary significantly, but typically requires a dedicated area for the weigher itself plus associated infeed and outfeed conveyors.

• What products are best suited for a multi-head weigher?

  Multi-head weighers are ideal for free-flowing, granular, or irregularly shaped products that require high accuracy and speed in portioning.

• How does a multi-head weigher achieve accuracy?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used multi-head weigher?

• Can a multi-head weigher be integrated into an existing packing line?

• What factors influence the speed of a multi-head weigher?

Multihead weighers and packing scales are regarded as reliable workhorses in food processing operations. Buyers typically value their speed, accuracy and consistency in portion control. When purchasing used equipment, checking calibration history, wear on weighing hoppers and overall mechanical condition proves important. These machines are praised for minimising product giveaway whilst maintaining throughput, though maintenance requirements and compatibility with existing lines warrant careful consideration during selection.
