The Advantages Of Packaging Ice Cubes With a Multihead Weigher

In the ice cube production industry, the packaging process is of vital importance. As an advanced weighing device, the multi head packing machine has demonstrated many significant advantages in ice granule packaging, greatly enhancing the packaging efficiency and quality.

      

The multi weigher, also known as the combination scale, works based on permutation and combination. It is composed of multiple weighing units with independent feeding and discharging structures. When ice particles enter the multi-head scale, they are first fed to the upper feeding tray through the elevator, and then concentrated on the main vibrating tray. The vibration of the main vibrating tray evenly distributes the ice particles to the linear vibrating tray. When the ice particles in the linear oscillator disk are insufficient, the material level photoelectric detector will send a signal to prompt the elevator to add materials. Then, the linear oscillator vibrates and delivers the ice particles to each buffer hopper within a certain weight range. The stepping motor opens the buffer hopper and sends the ice grains into the weighing hopper. The material is in the weighing hopper. The sensor generates a weight signal, which is processed by the AD module into a digital signal and transmitted to the main board. The CPU on the motherboard reads and records the weight of each weighing hopper. Through calculation, analysis, combination and screening, the combined weighing hoppers that are close to the target weight are selected. When the signal from the Packaging machine allowing the discharge of materials is received, the CPU starts the driver to open the selected weighing hopper, unloading the ice grains into the chute and into the collection hopper or directly into the packaging machine, completing one weighing and packaging process.

The highly efficient and rapid packaging speed is a significant advantage of multi-head scales in packaging ice cubes. Take the common 14-head Multihead Weigher as an example. Its packaging speed can reach 70 packs per minute, and for the 14-dou one, it can even reach 120 packs per minute. This speed is beyond the reach of traditional manual packaging or ordinary packaging equipment. During peak demand seasons such as summer for ice cubes, a rapid packaging speed enables enterprises to quickly bring their products to the market, meet the large demands of consumers, enhance the market competitiveness of enterprises, and win more business opportunities for them. For instance, after a large ice pellet production enterprise adopted multi-head scales for packaging, its production capacity increased several times during the peak season, effectively alleviating the supply pressure.

High-precision weighing performance is also a prominent feature of multi-head scales. In ice cube packaging, its dynamic weighing accuracy can reach ±0.1-2.0g. This high precision ensures the accuracy and consistency of the weight of each bag of ice cubes. For consumers, the weight of each bag of ice cubes they purchase meets the standard, enhancing their trust in the product. For enterprises, it avoids product quality problems caused by weight deviations and reduces complaints and economic losses due to insufficient or excessive weight. Take a chain supermarket that attaches great importance to product quality as an example when purchasing ice cubes. It is more inclined to choose suppliers that use multi-head scales to package ice cubes, because the precise weight ensures the standardization of the product.

The highly automated process makes the multi-head scale shine in ice pack packaging. It can form an integrated quantitative packaging system with equipment such as elevators and packaging machines. From the loading, weighing to packaging of ice cubes, the entire process requires almost no manual intervention, greatly reducing labor costs and labor intensity. Meanwhile, the automated process reduces the impact of human factors on packaging quality, ensuring the stability and reliability of packaging. For instance, in some large-scale ice-making factories, after adopting the multi-head scale Automated Packaging System, the packaging workshops that originally required a large number of workers now only need a few personnel to monitor and maintain the equipment, significantly reducing labor costs.

In addition, the multi-head scale also has good adaptability. The shape and size of ice particles may vary to some extent, but the multi-head scale can calculate the weighing requirements of ice particles of different specifications through the independent weight combination of multiple scale heads, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of packaging. Whether it's tiny ice grains or slightly larger ice blocks, the multi-head scale can handle them precisely.

To sum up, ice cubes packaged with multi-head scales have obvious advantages in terms of speed, accuracy, automation and adaptability. With the continuous advancement of technology, the application of multi-head scales in the packaging of ice cubes will become more widespread, helping ice cube manufacturing enterprises continuously improve production efficiency and product quality, and occupy a more favorable position in market competition.
