• Commonly used for confectionery, snacks, cereals, and pet foods.
• Suitable for frozen foods, ensuring accurate portioning before packaging.
• Can be integrated into lines for non-food items like small hardware or components.
• Often paired with vertical form fill seal (VFFS) machines for automated bagging.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 60 to 120+ weighments per minute, depending on product characteristics and target weight.

Number of heads

This unit features 14 heads, which allows for a high number of weight combinations to achieve precise target weights.

Construction material

Units of this type typically feature full stainless steel construction, suitable for food contact and washdown environments.

Weighing accuracy

Utilises strain-gauge load cells for high precision, typically achieving accuracy within a fraction of a gram for most products.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 230V, single-phase, 50Hz electrical supply, though buyers should confirm specific unit requirements.

Control interface

Typically features an interactive colour touch-screen HMI for program configuration and operational control.
