Application of multihead weighing machines for food manufacturers

  • 2020-10-16
Multihead weighing machines are ubiquitous in industry for fast and accurate packaging of a wide variety of foods and vegetables, small hardware items and office supplies. Multihead weighers offer food manufacturers a vital edge as they strive to meet the requirements of their customers. With supermarkets and the food service sector insisting on ever more exacting specifications, it is crucial that food manufacturers maintain consistent quality on their production lines.
Multihead weighers: what they can offer for food manufacturers

1. Measure precise qualities
2. Quick and reliable operation
3. Minimise waste or giveaway
4. Small factory footprint

The vast majority of food products are sold by weight, so measuring out precise quantities, quickly, time after time, with as little waste or giveaway as possible, is vital, and this is exactly what multihead weighers are designed to do.

The first multihead weigher was developed by Gantan in 2008 and although there have been many innovations and enhancements since then, the 'combination method' of how they work has remained the same.

The weighers operate by having a number of hoppers arranged in columns, and each column is fitted with a weighing head. A portion of the product to be weighed is fed into each weigh hopper and the machine’s computer evaluates the optimum combination of hoppers to make up the target weight. These are then discharged together before the hoppers are recharged from above – ready to make the next weighing combination.

This method produces a high level of accuracy when weighing single products, and is used across a wide range of applications from snacks and confectionery to grated cheese, salads, fresh meat and poultry.
