8 Types of Multihead Weighers Classified by Material Characteristics
1. Granular Material Multihead Weigher
-
Applicable Materials: Candy, melon seeds, peanuts, coffee beans, chocolate beans, rice, seeds, pet food, puffed snacks, etc.
-
Features: Typically adopts a standard hopper design. The vibration frequency and amplitude can be adjusted according to the particle size and flowability of the material to ensure even feeding and accurate weighing.
2. Flaky or Strip Material Multihead Weigher
-
Applicable Materials: Biscuits, flaky snacks, noodles, bean starch noodles, bean sprouts, sausages, spicy gluten strips, etc.
-
Features: Hopper design must consider the shape of the material to avoid jamming or damage. Some models are equipped with special guiding chutes or buffer devices to accommodate the conveying and weighing of flaky or strip materials.
3. Blocky Material Multihead Weigher
-
Applicable Materials: Fruit pieces, vegetable chunks, tofu pieces, cheese cubes, hardware parts, plastic components, etc.
-
Features: The appropriate number of weighing heads and hopper capacity should be selected based on the size and weight range of the blocky materials. Some models can be equipped with collection hoppers or buffer hoppers to improve weighing efficiency and stability.
4. Fragile Material Multihead Weigher
-
Applicable Materials: Thin biscuits, ice cubes, peanuts, fresh fruits, glass products, etc.
-
Features: Utilizes low-drop design, buffer structures, or special vibration control to reduce the risk of collision and damage during the weighing and conveying process, ensuring product integrity.
5. Sticky or Wet Material Multihead Weigher
-
Applicable Materials: Gummy candies, marshmallows, jelly, frozen meatballs, vegetable salads, pickled vegetables, etc.
-
Features: Hoppers and conveying components often use non-stick coatings (e.g., Teflon coating) or special materials to prevent material adhesion. Some models are equipped with spiral channels or timed vibration systems to improve material flow.
6. Mixed Material Multihead Weigher
-
Applicable Materials: Mixed nuts, multigrain blends, eight-treasure congee ingredients, seasoning mixes, etc.
-
Features: Equipped with blending functions, enabling precise proportioning and weighing of multiple materials through zone weighing or combination algorithms. Some models support multi-channel feeding and mixed weighing.
7. Frozen Material Multihead Weigher
-
Applicable Materials: Frozen dumplings, glutinous rice balls, shrimp, fish fillets, frozen fruit slices, squid rings, etc.
-
Features: Features waterproof and moisture-proof designs, with weighing components and conveying systems adapted to low-temperature environments. Some models are equipped with heating or insulation devices to prevent freezing or sticking.
8. Powdery Material Multihead Weigher
-
Applicable Materials: Flour, milk powder, traditional Chinese medicine powder, chemical powders, etc.
-
Features: Requires sealed hoppers and dust-proof designs to prevent powder leakage. Some models are equipped with screw feeders or pneumatic conveying devices to ensure uniform feeding and accurate weighing of powdery materials.
