2-Head Linear Weighing Machine

The linear weigher uses vibrations to move the product across a pan with an adjoining load cell, slowing down when the target weight is approaching.

In semi-automatic models, when the target weight is reached an operator then presses a switch or a foot pedal to dispense the product whilst presenting the container or packet. A heat sealer would likely be used here for flexible packaging options.

In automatic models, the weigher would be synchronised to other packaging and processing machinery e.g. a VFFS machine, pouch, or sachet machine where the pack is automatically presented to the weigher, filled and moved away for further processing afterwards.

Additional adaptations can be made to suit your product. This machine has a mini version for a smaller weigh range and due to its multiple heads, it can also be configured to mix up to 4 products. Other options include dimple plates, wind-proof doors, timing hoppers and rejection devices.

Alike all weighing machines, the Linear 4-Head model can be used across many industries. Examples of products weighed by this machine include rice, coffee granules, seeds and small plastic DIY pieces.
