Anritsu - Anritsu 10 Head Linear

Applications & Use Cases

• Accurate portioning of dry, free-flowing products in food processing.
• Weighing small components in industrial manufacturing and assembly.
• Packaging operations requiring precise weight control for compliance and cost management.
• Batching ingredients in confectionery, snack food, and pet food industries.
• Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications for precise dosing of granular products.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, individual weighments commonly range from a few grams up to several kilograms, depending on the product and configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V AC, 50Hz, with appropriate current protection.

Throughput

A 10-head linear weigher can achieve high throughput, typically ranging from 60 to over 120 weighments per minute, depending on target weight and product characteristics.

Weighing accuracy

Precision weighers like this are designed for high accuracy, commonly achieving tolerances of less than 1% of the target weight for most applications.

Construction materials

Components in contact with product are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.

Footprint

The footprint for a 10-head linear weigher can vary, but typically requires a floor area of approximately 1.5m x 1.5m, plus space for infeed and outfeed conveyors.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between a linear and a multihead weigher?

  Linear weighers use a series of vibrating pans and weigh buckets in a straight line, suitable for simpler products and lower speeds than multihead weighers, which combine weights from multiple hoppers simultaneously for higher speed and accuracy.

• Can this weigher handle sticky or difficult products?

• What kind of maintenance does a 10-head linear weigher require?

• Is this type of equipment suitable for washdown environments?

• What ancillary equipment is needed to operate a linear weigher?
