Multi-head weighers are central to high-speed packing lines for granular and particulate products. They combine multiple weighing heads to calculate optimal combinations that match the target weight with high accuracy. This approach enables fast cycle speeds while keeping weight variation within tight tolerances.
The key benefit is reduced giveaway — the small overfilling that accumulates into significant losses at scale. With advanced algorithms and rapid servo actions, modern multi-head weighers hit target weights repeatedly without slowing down the line.
These weighers can be coupled directly to vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) machines or pouch packing lines to create a compact cell. Integration reduces material handling and improves line efficiency. For products like snacks, nuts, or frozen goods, multi-head weighing is often the only viable option for high throughput.
Another advantage is flexibility: heads can be disabled or reconfigured for different weight ranges and pack sizes. Combined with user-friendly touchscreens and recipe management, operators can switch SKUs quickly during production runs.
In summary, multi-head weighers deliver the speed and accuracy modern brands need to maintain margins and meet strict packing specifications.
