Multihead Weighers

Combination weighing for free-flowing granules and discrete products.

Multihead weighers combine several hopper weights to reach a target dose. Selection depends on product size, flow, fragility, target weight, tolerance and the required number of packs per minute.

Product behaviour
Size, shape, flowability, oiliness, stickiness and breakage risk
Target dose
Minimum, typical and maximum weight per pack
Performance target
Required accuracy and packs per minute
Weighing arrangement
Head count, hopper volume, feeding surface and discharge pattern

Typical applications

Where this route may fit.

These answers are general guidance. A final recommendation requires the real product and packaging brief.

01

Snacks and nuts

Combination weighing before vertical or premade-pouch packing.

02

Dried and frozen products

Selection based on flow, temperature, sticking and breakage risk.

03

Confectionery and biscuits

Gentle handling and target-weight repeatability for discrete pieces.

04

Mixed products

Projects requiring coordinated dosing of more than one component.

Common questions

Before requesting a proposal.

These answers are general guidance. A final recommendation requires the real product and packaging brief.

Is this a fixed AVELRIN model?+

No. This page describes an equipment route. The manufacturer, model and configuration are selected and confirmed for each project.

Are price, output and delivery time confirmed?+

No. They depend on the material, package, required output, destination and the supplier’s written quotation.

When is a multihead weigher preferable to a linear weigher?+

It is commonly considered when higher output, tighter weight control or more complex product behaviour justifies combination weighing. Sample trials may still be required.
