Multipond Wagetechink - Weigher Head

• Used for precise weighing of granular, free-flowing, or delicate products in food packaging lines.
• Integrated into automated systems for portion control in confectionery, snack, and frozen food production.
• Applied in the pharmaceutical industry for accurate dosing of tablets or capsules.
• Utilised in non-food sectors for small component counting and packaging.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, weighment ranges commonly vary from a few grams up to several kilograms per dump, depending on the specific product and configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a standard industrial electrical supply, commonly 230V or 400V, 50Hz, 3-phase.

Throughput

Throughput rates vary significantly based on product characteristics and target weight, but can typically range from 60 to over 120 weighments per minute for multi-head systems.

Construction materials

Commonly manufactured from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance, particularly for food contact areas.

Accuracy

Weigher heads are designed for high accuracy, typically achieving tolerances of less than 1% of the target weight, depending on product consistency and speed.

Interface

Modern units commonly feature a touchscreen HMI for operation, recipe management, and diagnostics.
