PEAL ENGINEERING BATCH WEIGHER

• Precisely portioning ingredients into bags, trays, or other containers within food production lines.
• Automating the weighing of bulk materials for subsequent processing or packaging.
• Ensuring consistent product weight for regulatory compliance and quality control.
• Handling free-flowing and semi-free-flowing granular or particulate food products.

Typical capacity

Batch weighers of this class commonly handle batches from a few grams up to several kilograms, depending on the specific model and product density.

Power supply

Units typically require a standard industrial electrical supply, often 230V or 400V, 3-phase, with specific amperage requirements varying by motor size.

Material construction

As stated, this unit is all stainless steel, which is standard for food processing equipment to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Feed mechanism

The 'double feed belt' suggests a coarse and fine feed system, commonly used to achieve high accuracy by slowing the feed as the target weight is approached.

Control interface

Units of this type typically feature a digital control panel for setting target weights, tolerances, and monitoring batch counts, often with an integral foot switch for operator control.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, the footprint can vary significantly, but buyers should consider space for the weigher itself, the infeed system, and the outfeed packaging or conveying.

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

  Batch weighers like this are generally suitable for granular products, powders, small pieces, and other free-flowing or semi-free-flowing dry goods. Viscous or sticky products may require specific adaptations.

• How accurate are batch weighers of this type?

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

• Can this unit be integrated into an existing production line?

• Are spare parts readily available for 'Pre Pack' models, even if the manufacturer is unknown?

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.
