Yamato ADW520ACC

• Precisely weighing and packaging snack foods such as crisps, nuts, and confectionery.
• Accurately portioning fresh produce like fruits and vegetables for retail packaging.
• Handling frozen foods, ensuring consistent weight for individual or bulk packs.
• Weighing granular products such as cereals, rice, and pet food.
• Packaging non-food items requiring precise weight, like small components or hardware.

Typical throughput

For this class of multihead weigher, speeds commonly range from 60 to 120 weighments per minute, depending on product and target weight.

Number of heads

Units of this type, like the Yamato ADW520ACC, typically feature 20 heads, allowing for high accuracy and speed through numerous combination possibilities.

Maximum weighment volume

Commonly, maximum combination volumes for this model class are around 3000ml, suitable for a range of product sizes.

Product length suitability

Typically, these weighers are optimised for products with lengths up to approximately 80mm, though this can vary.

Power supply

Multihead weighers commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with specific amperage requirements varying by model.

Footprint (weigher only)

A 20-head multihead weigher typically has a footprint of around 1.5m x 1.5m, not including the gantry or associated packaging machinery.

Construction material

Units of this type are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability, particularly in food processing environments.

Maintenance requirements

Routine cleaning and calibration are typically required. Access to spare parts and technical support for Yamato equipment is generally good within the UK.

• What is a multihead weigher?

  A multihead weigher combines product from multiple weigh hoppers to achieve a target weight with high accuracy and speed. It selects the best combination of hoppers whose individual weights sum closest to the desired target.

• What is the benefit of having 20 heads?

• Can this weigher handle different product types?

• What is a gantry and why is it included?

• Is it possible to run two different weighments at once?

• What considerations are there for integrating this into an existing line?

Checkweighers are valued in food processing for reliable weight verification and compliance support. Buyers typically prioritise accuracy, speed, and ease of integration with existing production lines. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration history, mechanical condition, and software functionality proves important. Industry sentiment favours models offering consistent performance, straightforward maintenance, and robust build quality. Durable construction and proven track records across multiple production environments remain key considerations for buyers assessing secondhand equipment.
