In the world of packaging, accuracy and speed are two of the most important factors that determine productivity and profitability. Traditional weighing methods often struggle to balance these demands, leading to product waste, slower packaging speeds, or inconsistent results. This is where the multihead weigher has completely transformed the packaging industry.
At SA Packaging Machinery, we understand the importance of reliable and precise packaging systems. Our multihead machine is designed to help businesses achieve the perfect balance between accuracy, efficiency, and versatility.
A multihead weigher is an advanced weighing machine that uses multiple weighing heads (normally 2,4, 10, 14, 20, or more) to quickly and accurately portion products. Each head is equipped with its own load cell that measures the weight of the product it receives.
The machine’s computer then runs a series of calculations to find the best combination of weights from the different heads to achieve the target weight. This method allows for extremely precise measurements, often within a fraction of a gram.
Unlike single-head weighing systems, multihead weighers can achieve high-speed weighing without sacrificing accuracy. This makes them an essential tool in industries where consistency, cost control, and product quality are critical.
Multihead weigher packaging systems significantly reduce product giveaway. By combining weights from multiple heads, the system ensures each pack meets the required weight standard with minimal error. This means less overfilling and more control over production costs.
Speed is vital in packaging. They are capable of producing up to 200 weighments per minute depending on the model and product type. This allows manufacturers to handle large-scale production while maintaining precision.
From free-flowing snacks (like rice, lentils, sugar, peanuts, potato chips, and popcorn etc.) to sticky or fragile items (like dried fruits , gummies, soft candies, shredded cheese,fresh-cut vegetables, biscuits, cookies, cherry tomatoes,, and chocolates etc.), multihead weighers can handle a wide variety of products. Special designs, such as dimpled or Teflon-coated surfaces, make it easier to weigh products that may otherwise stick or break.
Reducing product loss while increasing output directly impacts profitability. With precise weighing, companies save money on raw materials, minimize wastage, and improve packaging consistency—all leading to better margins.
Every pack that leaves your production line looks uniform in weight and appearance. This builds brand trust and ensures customer satisfaction.
They are designed to integrate seamlessly with other packaging systems such as vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) machines, flow wrappers, and tray sealers. This makes them a flexible choice for both existing and new production lines.
Modern multihead weighers come with intuitive touch-screen controls, programmable settings for different products, and easy-to-clean designs. This reduces downtime and makes operation simple for staff.
The versatility makes them suitable for a wide range of industries. Some common applications include:
By adapting the machine’s design and settings, manufacturers can use the same technology across multiple product categories, making it one of the most versatile investments in packaging.
