Spar - REF: MM6218 1 X Sparc Systems 8-lane linear weighing combination system

Applications & Use Cases

• Accurate portioning of dry, free-flowing products such as snacks, confectionery, nuts, and seeds.
• Packaging lines requiring precise weight control for items like frozen vegetables or small hardware components.
• Integration into automated production lines to ensure consistent pack weights before sealing.
• Minimising product giveaway and ensuring compliance with weight regulations in food and non-food industries.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For this class of 8-lane linear weigher, throughput can typically range from 60 to 120 weighments per minute, depending on product characteristics and target weight.

Weighing accuracy

Units of this type commonly offer accuracy within +/- 0.5g to 2g, crucial for meeting legal weight requirements.

Product size suitability

Typically suitable for granular or small piece products, generally up to 50mm in length or diameter.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 230V, single-phase, 50Hz electrical supply.

Construction materials

Contact parts are typically stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and durability, especially in food applications.

Control system

Units of this type commonly feature a PLC-based control system with a HMI for recipe management and operational adjustments.

Typical footprint

A linear weigher of this configuration typically requires a footprint of approximately 1000mm to 1500mm in length and 800mm to 1200mm in width, plus space for infeed and outfeed conveyors.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a linear weighing combination system?

  A linear weighing combination system uses multiple vibratory feed lanes to deliver product to individual weigh hoppers. A central processing unit then combines the weights from several hoppers to achieve a target weight with high accuracy.

• How does an 8-lane system differ from a 10 or 14-lane system?

• What kind of products are best suited for a linear weigher?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of equipment?

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