ATCO Industries MH 04

• Packaging of dry, free-flowing products such as tea, coffee beans, and granules into various containers.
• Automated filling of confectionery items, nuts, and small snack products.
• Portioning of spices, seeds, and other granular food ingredients.
• Filling of non-food dry products like plastic pellets or small hardware components.

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.
