Multipond Wagetechink - Weigher Head

• Used for precise weighing of free-flowing and semi-free-flowing products in food processing lines.
• Commonly integrated into packaging lines for confectionery, snacks, frozen foods, and fresh produce.
• Applied in portion control to ensure consistent product weight in retail packs.
• Utilised for blending multiple components by weight to achieve specific recipes.
• Essential for minimising giveaway and ensuring compliance with weight regulations.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from 60 to over 200 weighments per minute, depending on product characteristics and target weight.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a standard industrial power supply, typically 230V, 50Hz, single-phase, though three-phase options may be available.

Weighing accuracy

High precision is standard, with typical accuracy within 0.5g to 2g for many applications, varying with product and target weight.

Number of heads

While this listing is for a single weigher head, multihead weighers commonly feature 10 to 24 heads to achieve high speed and accuracy.

Product contact materials

Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) to meet hygiene standards and ensure durability.

Footprint

A single weigher head unit is designed to be compact for integration into existing lines, though overall system dimensions will vary.

• What is a weigher head?

  A weigher head is the core component of a multihead weigher, responsible for precisely weighing a portion of product before discharge. Multiple heads work in combination to achieve the target weight.

• Can this weigher head be integrated into any multihead weigher system?

• What type of products is this suitable for?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used weigher head?

• Does this unit come with software or control systems?

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.
