Peal Engineering - Batch Weigher

Applications & Use Cases

• 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 Specifications

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.
