PFM Multihead Weigher and Bagging Line

• Packaging snacks, confectionery, and baked goods.
• Forming, filling, and sealing bags for frozen foods and IQF products.
• Automating the packaging of granular products such as rice, pasta, or pulses.
• Handling delicate items like fresh produce or fragile biscuits with precision weighing.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 30 to 120 bags per minute, depending on product, bag size, and film material.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with an associated compressed air supply.

Weighing accuracy

Multihead weighers are known for high accuracy, typically achieving weighments within 0.5-1.5g of target weight, depending on product characteristics.

Bagging formats

Vertical form-fill-seal machines commonly produce pillow bags, gusseted bags, and block bottom bags.

Footprint

A complete line, including infeed and outfeed conveyors, typically requires a significant floor area, often around 4-6 metres in length and 2-3 metres in width, plus operational space.

Construction materials

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