Multihead Weighing
- Accurate product portioning for consistent target weights and reduced product giveaway
- Controlled product feeding to maintain a stable and efficient flow into the multihead weigher
- Customized integration adapted to your products, packaging equipment and production requirements
Automated Multihead Weighing Solutions
Multihead weighing is based on the combination of several individual weighing heads to create portions that match the target weight as closely as possible.
To achieve consistent weighing performance, the product flow entering the weigher must be properly controlled. An unstable or uneven product feed can affect weighing accuracy, throughput and product giveaway.
At Velec Systems, we design and integrate automated feeding and handling solutions around multihead weighers. Our systems convey, elevate, distribute and regulate products before they enter the weighing process, helping maintain a consistent product flow and reliable portioning.
Designed Around Your Products
Our multihead weighing solutions can be adapted to different product characteristics, including:
- Product size and shape
- Product weight
- Fresh or frozen products
- Fragile or delicate products
- Sticky or difficult-to-handle products
- Different target weights and portion sizes
The feeding system is designed around the product to ensure a controlled and consistent flow into the weighing heads.
Handle Multiple Products
A Complete Solution Around Your Multihead Weigher
We can integrate the multihead weigher into a complete automated packaging line, from product feeding and distribution to final packaging. Depending on the application, the line can include:
Product infeed → Conveying → Product distribution → Multihead weighing → Packaging → Checkweighing
Optimize Portion Accuracy
Accurate portioning helps maintain consistent pack weights and control product giveaway. We optimize the feeding and distribution process upstream of the multihead weigher to create stable weighing conditions and reliable portioning.
Hygienic by Design
Our weighing solutions are designed for demanding food-processing environments, combining hygienic construction with easy access for cleaning and maintenance. Depending on the application, solutions can feature stainless-steel construction, open and inclined structures, no hollow tubing, IP69K components and CIP integration.
Integrate Your Multihead Weigher
We can integrate multihead weighing equipment from specialized manufacturers into a complete automated packaging line. We design the conveying, feeding and distribution systems around your chosen weigher, products, packaging format and production requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
A multihead weighing system uses multiple weighing heads to combine measured portions and achieve a target weight with high accuracy. It is commonly used for automated food portioning and packaging.
The weighing heads work together to identify the best combination of portions for the target weight. A controlled and consistent product feed also helps maintain reliable weighing performance and reduce product giveaway.
Multihead weighing systems can handle a wide range of food products, including products such as diced meat, sliced products, frozen foods, snacks and other portioned products. The feeding and distribution system is adapted to the product characteristics.
Yes. A multihead weigher can be integrated into an existing automated packaging line. We can design the upstream conveying, feeding and distribution equipment around the selected weigher and packaging machine.
The feeding, conveying and distribution systems can be configured according to product size, shape, weight, texture, target portion and packaging format. Recipe management can also facilitate production changes between different products and SKUs.
