Ohlson - Multihead Weigh Scale + Mezzanine

• Precisely weighing and portioning a wide range of free-flowing products such as snacks, confectionery, nuts, and frozen foods.
• Integrating into automated packaging lines, often feeding Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) machines or tray denesters.
• Reducing product giveaway and increasing accuracy in high-speed packaging operations.
• Handling delicate or irregularly shaped products with minimal damage due to gentle product handling.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, fill ranges commonly span from 10g up to 3000g, depending on product density and bucket size.

Throughput

Units of this type typically achieve speeds of up to 130 weighments per minute (WPM), varying with product and target weight.

Number of heads

Multihead weighers commonly feature 10 to 14 heads, with 14-head configurations being prevalent for enhanced accuracy and speed.

Material contact parts

Typically constructed from stainless steel, suitable for food contact and ease of cleaning.

Mezzanine construction

Mezzanines for multihead weighers are commonly robust stainless steel structures, providing elevated support and often including stairs and safety railings.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.
