Line Equipment - Multi Head Weigher

Applications & Use Cases

• Precisely weighing and portioning dry, free-flowing products such as snacks, confectionery, nuts, and frozen foods.
• Integrating into automated packaging lines for high-speed, accurate product delivery to bagging or container filling machines.
• Minimising product giveaway and ensuring compliance with weight regulations in food manufacturing.
• Handling delicate items with reduced risk of damage due to gentle product transfer mechanisms.
• Used in industries requiring high throughput and consistent weight accuracy for consumer packaged goods.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 60 to 120 weighing cycles per minute, depending on product characteristics and target weight.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 230V, 50Hz, single-phase electrical supply, with some larger models potentially needing 3-phase.

Number of heads

This model designation suggests 14 weigh heads, which is common for achieving high accuracy and speed.

Weighing range

Multi-head weighers typically handle target weights from a few grams up to several kilograms per discharge, depending on bucket volume.

Accuracy

For this class of equipment, accuracy is typically within 0.5 to 1.5 grams, crucial for minimising product giveaway.

Construction material

Contact parts are commonly made from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., SUS304) for hygiene and durability.

Footprint

The main weigher unit typically occupies a footprint of approximately 1.2m x 1.3m, with additional space required for feed systems and discharge conveyors.
