PEAL ENGINEERING BATCH WEIGHER

• Accurate portioning of products in food processing for packaging.
• Batching ingredients in bakeries and confectionery manufacturing.
• Controlled weighing of components in pharmaceutical production.
• Preparation of mixed product batches in chemical industries.
• Weighing and sorting of agricultural produce like potatoes or root vegetables.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on product and batch size, but units commonly achieve several hundred batches per hour.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with specific amperage depending on motor size and control systems.

Construction material

As specified, this unit is all stainless steel, which is standard for food-grade and hygienic applications, ensuring durability and ease of cleaning.

Feed mechanism

The double feed belt system typically allows for both bulk and fine feeding, improving accuracy and reducing weighing time.

Weighing accuracy

Batch weighers are designed for high accuracy, commonly achieving tolerances within a few grams depending on the product and target weight.

Control system

Units typically feature integrated control panels, often with PLC integration, for programming batch recipes and monitoring performance.

• What types of products are suitable for this batch weigher?

  This type of batch weigher is generally suitable for free-flowing granular, particulate, or small solid products. The double feed belt system is effective for a range of dry goods.

• Is this unit suitable for washdown environments?

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

• Can this batch weigher be integrated into an existing production line?

• What spare parts are commonly needed for a unit of this age?

Weighing terminals and load cells are regarded as robust, dependable components in laboratory and pharmaceutical environments. Buyers typically prioritise units with verified calibration history and documentation of maintenance records. The equipment is valued for its longevity and accuracy retention when properly serviced. Key considerations include compatibility with existing systems, sensor condition, and whether calibration certificates are current. Industry practice favours units from recognised manufacturers with established support networks. Used examples generally perform reliably when sourced from well-maintained facilities.
