What Are the Components Of Multihead Weigher Packing Machine?

Compared with the classic auto packing machine, the multihead weigher packing machine has a more complex package system, because it takes charge of the weighting and distributing functions. The main components of the multihead weigher packing machine include weigh heads or weighing unit, distribution system, control panel, computer/controller, hopper vibrators, diverter or discharge chutes, frame and structure, touchscreen display, and product infeed system.

 

Weigh Heads or Weighing Units: These are the primary components responsible for measuring the weight of the product. Each weigh head consists of a hopper and a load cell. The load cell detects the weight of the product in the hopper, and this information is used to determine the amount of product to dispense.

 

Distribution System: The distribution system consists of chutes or conveyors that transport the product from a central supply hopper to individual weigh heads. This ensures that the product is evenly distributed for weighing.

 

Control Panel: The control panel or human-machine interface (HMI) is where operators input parameters such as target weights, product settings, and other operational parameters. It also displays the status and performance of the machine.

 

Computer/Controller: A central computer or controller processes the data from the load cells, makes calculations, and controls the operation of the machine. It coordinates the release of product from the weigh hoppers to achieve the desired target weights.

 

Hopper Vibrators: Vibrators are used to ensure a consistent flow of product from the supply hopper to the individual weigh hoppers. They prevent product clumping or bridging, which could affect the weighing accuracy.

 

Diverter or Discharge Chutes: These are responsible for directing the product from the weigh hoppers to the packaging machine. The diverter chutes open and close based on the calculated weight to release the product into the packaging container.

 

Frame and Structure: The frame provides support for all the components, ensuring stability and accuracy during operation. The structure is designed to minimize vibrations and external factors that could affect weighing accuracy.

 

Touchscreen Display: Many multihead weighers have a touchscreen display on the control panel for user-friendly interaction with the machine. Operators can input settings, monitor the machine's performance, and troubleshoot issues through the display.

 

Product Infeed System: Depending on the product and application, various infeed systems are used to deliver the product to the distribution system, including conveyor belts, bucket elevators, or vibratory feeders.

What is A Multihead Weigher Used for?

The multihead weigher in the automatic packaging machine is mainly used for weighing, portioning, and packaging, and within both food and non-food production.

Conclusion
