• Accurate portioning of dry, free-flowing products such as snacks, confectionery, nuts, and frozen foods.
• High-speed weighing and packing lines in the food processing industry.
• Minimising product giveaway by achieving precise target weights for pre-packaged goods.
• Integration into automated packaging systems, including form-fill-seal machines and bagging equipment.

Typical capacity

For a 10-head multihead weigher, throughput can typically range from 60 to over 120 weighments per minute, depending on product characteristics and target weight.

Power supply

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

Construction material

As described, all stainless steel construction is standard for food-grade applications, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Weighing range

Multihead weighers are versatile; the specific weighing range (e.g., 10g to 2kg) would depend on the bucket size and configuration of this particular unit.

Accuracy

High accuracy is a primary feature, typically achieving weighments within 0.5-1.5g of the target weight for many products.

Footprint

The footprint for a 10-head model can vary, but buyers should anticipate a significant vertical and horizontal space requirement for the weigher and its associated infeed and outfeed systems.

• What products are suitable for a multihead weigher?

  Multihead weighers are best suited for dry, granular, free-flowing, or semi-free-flowing products. This includes items like sweets, crisps, nuts, pasta, frozen vegetables, and small bakery items.

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.
