Ishida 14 Head Weigher – 1 ltr

• Precisely weighing and dispensing free-flowing products in food processing.
• Packaging confectionery, snacks, nuts, and frozen foods.
• Handling granular products such as rice, pasta, and cereals.
• Portioning fresh produce like salads, fruits, and vegetables.
• Automating weighing for non-food items like small hardware or components.

Typical capacity

For a 14-head configuration, throughput can typically range from 60 to 120 accurate weighments per minute, depending on product characteristics and target weight.

Power supply

Units of this class commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with a power consumption of around 2-5 kW.

Weighing accuracy

Ishida multihead weighers are known for high accuracy, typically achieving weighments within 0.5-1.5g of the target weight for this pan size.

Pan volume

While this unit specifies 1-litre pans, multihead weighers can typically accommodate pan volumes ranging from 0.5 litres for smaller products up to 7 litres or more for bulk items.

Construction material

For food processing, units are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel, often with dimpled surfaces to aid product flow and hygiene.

Footprint

A 14-head weigher typically requires a floor area of approximately 1.5m x 1.5m, plus space for infeed and outfeed systems, and operator access.

• What products are best suited for a 14-head multihead weigher?

  A 14-head multihead weigher is typically ideal for free-flowing, granular, or irregularly shaped products that require high-speed, accurate weighing into predetermined target weights.

• What maintenance is typically required for a used Ishida multihead weigher?

• Can this type of weigher be integrated with existing packaging lines?

• What factors influence the achievable speed (weighments per minute)?

• Are spare parts readily available for older Ishida models?

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.
