How To Select A Multihead Weigher For A Specific Industry?

2025-01-28

At present, with its own advantages of modern industrial production, Multihead Weigher has become one of the indispensable equipment in many industries. Therefore, how to choose the right multi-head according to the needs of different industries? The following article will guide you with a few points to consider when picking the most suitable multihead weigher machine.

To select a multi-head scale, you need to decide the main requirements of your industry first. Every industry requires a different set of multi-head scale attributes, and performance demands with respect to accuracy, speed, material & environmental adaptability vary too.

Weighing accuracy

It was used as the main method of determining the magnitude of the scale which led to direct impact of choosing an accurate multi-head scale that affects the quality of the product. And the need for accuracy in each industry is also the same, so it is necessary to choose according to the actual situation. The precision requirements are relatively not so high for nuts, candy, and other products in the food industry, so the accuracy requirements are usually within ±0.5 grams to meet the production needs, if the pharmaceutical industry is also divided into tablets and capsules, the accuracy requirements may need to reach ±0.1 grams or even higher. So, when selecting a multi head weigher machine, the accuracy level of the configure must be confirmed according to the product minimum packaging weight and the allowable error range.

Material characteristics

Different industries have different material characteristics, and the characteristics of different materials can determine the selection of structure and material.

● For special-shaped materials (toy accessories, crafts, etc.), it requires selecting multi-head weighing equipment with special feeding devices and special scale bucket designs to ensure that the material can enter the scale bucket smoothly and weigh accurately.

● For materials with poor fluidity, such as flour and milk powder, a multi - head scale equipped with a stirring device or a forced - feeding device should be selected. This can prevent material blockage and ensure continuous and stable feeding.

● For corrosive substances, take sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid in the chemical realm as instances. The contact components of the multi - head scale ought to be crafted from anti - corrosive materials, like polytetrafluoroethylene and fiberglass - strengthened plastics. These materials can efficiently counteract the corrosion brought by hydrochloric acid and thereby elongate the equipment's service life.

So when selecting the multi head Packing Machine must correspond to the acquisition method and weighing barrel design according to the properties of the material (such as particle size, density, fluidity)

Weighing speed

The weighing speed directly affects the production efficiency. For FMCG industries that require mass production such as food processing and bulk commodity packaging, it is necessary to choose a multi-head scale for fast weighing speed. The more weighing heads there are, the higher the weighing speed, 14 heads multihead weigher 100-150 weighing per minute, 20 heads multihead scale can reach 150-200.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning and maintenance can increase the service life of the multi-head to a certain extent, for food, medicine and other industries, the cleaning and maintenance of equipment is the key. Choosing a multi-head scale that is easy to disassemble and clean can effectively reduce maintenance time and cost.
