Sparc Systems 8-lane linear weighing combination system sn22949-1-1

Applications & Use Cases

• Accurate portioning of granular or free-flowing products in food processing.
• Packaging lines requiring precise weight control for confectionery, snacks, or dry goods.
• Pharmaceutical and chemical industries for batching small components where exact weights are critical.
• Integration into automated production lines for high-speed weighing and filling operations.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For an 8-lane linear weigher, individual weigh heads typically handle product weights ranging from a few grams up to 2-3 kg per drop, depending on product density.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 230V, 50Hz, single-phase electrical supply, though some larger systems may use 3-phase.

Throughput

An 8-lane linear weigher typically offers higher throughput than single-lane systems, with speeds often ranging from 40 to 120 weighments per minute, depending on target weight and product characteristics.

Footprint

The footprint for this class of equipment varies, but buyers should anticipate a width of approximately 1.5 to 2.5 metres and a depth of 1 to 1.5 metres, excluding infeed and outfeed conveyors.

Construction materials

Components in contact with product are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) to meet hygiene standards.

Suitable feed sizes

This equipment is generally suitable for granular products, small pieces, or free-flowing items, with individual piece sizes typically up to 50-70mm.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the primary advantage of a linear weigher over a multihead weigher?

  Linear weighers are often preferred for products that are more difficult to handle in a multihead system, such as sticky or fragile items, or when a simpler, more direct product path is required. They can also be more cost-effective for certain applications.

• Can this system handle different product types?
