Ishida Multihead Weigher with Sandiacre Bagger

• Precisely weighing and packaging a variety of free-flowing food products.
• Ideal for snack foods, confectionery, frozen produce, and granular products.
• Used in high-speed production lines requiring accurate portion control.
• Suitable for integration into automated food processing and packaging systems.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from 60 to over 120 packs per minute, depending on product and target weight.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) is typically required, along with compressed air.

Weighing accuracy

Ishida multihead weighers are known for high accuracy, typically achieving weighments within 0.5-1.5g of target weight for many products.

Bagging format

The Sandiacre TG250 bagger is commonly used for producing pillow bags, gusseted bags, and block bottom bags from roll stock film.

Product compatibility

Dimple pans on the weigher suggest suitability for sticky or frozen products, preventing product adherence and improving flow.

Footprint

A combined multihead weigher and bagger line, including gantry and conveyors, will require a significant floor area, typically several metres in length and width.

• What kind of products can this line handle?

  This line is well-suited for a wide range of free-flowing products, particularly frozen items given the dimple pan weigher and current usage. It can handle various granular, piece, and snack foods.

• What maintenance is typically involved?

• Can this line be integrated with existing upstream or downstream equipment?

• What film types are compatible with the Sandiacre bagger?

• What is the significance of the metal detector?

Filling machines remain sought-after on the secondhand market due to their durability and long operational lifespan. Buyers typically value models from established manufacturers known for robust construction. When purchasing used units, inspectors should verify seal integrity, calibration accuracy, and maintenance history, as these directly affect product consistency and line efficiency. Common strengths include straightforward mechanical design facilitating repairs and adaptability to different container sizes. Reliability and minimal downtime are frequently cited priorities among processors seeking cost-effective production solutions.
