Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

This class of linear weighing system commonly handles fill weights from 50g up to 500g per drop, suitable for a range of pack sizes.

Throughput

Output rates for multi-lane linear weighers typically vary based on product density, target weight, and number of lanes, often ranging from 15-40 drops per minute per lane.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a standard industrial electrical supply, typically 230V or 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz.

Footprint

A 4-lane linear weighing system with an integrated conveyor and rotary table will require a significant operational footprint, typically several square metres.

Product contact materials

Components in contact with the product are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Accuracy

Linear weighing systems are designed for high accuracy, typically achieving tolerances within 0.5-2% of the target weight, depending on product characteristics.
