A multihead weigher is a dosing and weighing system that is suspended above a packaging machine. The weigher distributes your product across 10 to 14 weighing heads and selects, for each bag, the combination of heads whose total weight is closest to the target weight. This makes it both more accurate and faster than a single, standalone weighing device.<\/p>\n
The secret lies in the memory: while a single-scale system has only one attempt, the multihead weigher selects from hundreds of possible combinations. As a result, the fill weight is typically within \u00b11% of the target weight, and even more accurate with free-flowing products.<\/p>\n
Overfill is the amount of product you pack beyond what the label specifies. For a fill weight of 500 g, an overfill of 1% means 5 g of product per bag. At 80 bags per minute, that amounts to 24 kg of product per hour that you\u2019re giving away\u2014which adds up to tens of thousands of kilograms per year.<\/p>\n
A multihead weigher reduces overfilling without slowing down the production rate. That\u2019s why the weigher pays for itself through product savings alone, not to mention the consistent bag weights your customers expect.<\/p>\n
