The Multihead Weigher Packing Machine is equipment designed to pack various products automatically, including snacks, nuts, candies, cereals, pet food, and mixed materials. It is perfect for fragile items or products of irregular shapes and is compatible with different types of packaging such as pillow pouches, gusset bags, stand-up pouches, doypacks, bottles, and cans. Aimed at those who value quality and efficiency, the machine is designed for large-scale, high-output production with minimal waste and consistent quality.
A Multiple-head Weight Packing Machine provides an accurate, high-speed packaging solution for food and nonfood products that can be measured by volume. Optimised for the requirements of the latest production lines, they guarantee gentle product handling, precise dosing and flexible packaging formats – all in a compact system.
How many heads should I go with — 10, 14 or more?
The quantity of weighing heads determines the speed and accuracy. A 10-head model is suitable for mid-range production and basic products, whilst a 14-head system delivers even greater speed with more nuanced weight combinations. Larger configurations (16 or more heads) are the best for high volume or for premium products helping minimize giveaway while giving you maximum flexibility. The best setup depends on your output goals, product weight specs, and mix complexity.
Can the machine be used for food as well as non-food granular substances?
Yes. Hygienic stainless steel construction is standard and robust washdown protection is available to cope with a wide variety of products. Whether you're adding peanuts, cereals or snack mixes, it's able to handle that and at the same time take non-food granule products from hardware bits and plastic pellets to chemical crystals, serving both industries—providing an economic benefit for those companies that are manufacturing diverse varieties of products. It is also available with optional sealing and film pre-printing for food-grade bag packing.
What is the reality of the weighing system in real world production?
High precision weighing is our common characteristic. Hence, multihead systems sum the individual weight calculation values ranging in size from two to more than two dozen hoppers to sum accurate values, which are usually not more than ±0.1g~0.5g/bag within different weight ranges and different product types. In fast-moving environments, the system's real-time weight control and quick reject feedback loops ensure constant fill quality, minimize giveaway, and better cost management.
What types of products can a multihead weigher packing machine do?
Versatility is a hallmark:
- Snack and chips: chips, crisps, tortilla chips
- Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, pistachios, chia, sunflower seeds
- Candy and sweets: jelly beans, candy, chocolate pieces
- Pet food and treats: kibbles, birdseed, treat sticks
- Granules and powders: rice, lentils, plastic pellets, detergent granules
- Mixed products: trail mix, snack mix, seasoning mix
Many container designs can be accommodated due to exchangeable trays, application-specific feeders and adjustable vibration parameters.
