In the fast-paced world of modern manufacturing, where time equals money and accuracy ensures brand trust, efficient and precise weighing systems are critical. Among the most trusted and versatile solutions in this domain is the 10 Heads Multihead Weigher—a highly advanced machine designed to deliver speed, precision, and adaptability across multiple industries. From the salty crunch of potato chips to the delicate form of pharmaceutical capsules, these machines are transforming packaging operations worldwide.
At the core of the multihead weigher’s strength is its design. A 10-head weigher is equipped with ten individual weighing hoppers, each capable of measuring product weight independently. The machine’s onboard computer uses combination algorithms to find the best matching weights that together equal the target package weight, within a very narrow tolerance.
Load Cells: Each hopper is fitted with high-precision sensors to measure weight in real time.
Combination Algorithm: Automatically selects the hopper combination that delivers the closest match to the target weight.
Adjustable Settings: Users can set target weights, tolerances, drop speeds, and vibration frequencies.
Compact Design: Compared to 14- or 20-head versions, 10-head weighers offer a good balance between performance and space efficiency, ideal for medium-output operations.
Because of these features, 10-head weighers can handle a wide variety of materials—solid, granular, fine, sticky, or even fragile—making them indispensable in industries that demand both speed and accuracy.
Snack foods represent one of the most dynamic and high-volume segments in the food industry. These products vary in shape, size, texture, and density, and they often require high-speed packaging to keep up with market demand.
Potato chips and tortilla chips
Popcorn and puffed snacks
Salted nuts and trail mix
Candy, jelly beans, and gummies
Dried fruits (e.g., mango, banana chips)
Fragility: Items like chips break easily.
Stickiness: Candies may clump or adhere to hopper surfaces.
Weight consistency: Products sold by weight must match declared net weight with minimal giveaway.
Soft Product Handling: Equipped with gentle feed chutes, reduced drop height, and anti-breakage settings.
Non-stick Surfaces: Optional Teflon coatings reduce product residue and improve flow.
High Throughput: Can perform 50–70 weighings per minute with precision, supporting small sachets and bulk bags.
For snack producers, consistent product quality and speed are essential. The 10-head multihead weigher ensures that each bag or pouch delivers the right amount of product without overfilling, which saves costs and builds consumer trust.
In the world of specialty beverages, presentation and precision are everything. Consumers expect consistency in their morning coffee or afternoon tea, and manufacturers must deliver precisely portioned packs to meet these expectations.
Whole coffee beans and ground coffee
Instant coffee granules
Loose-leaf green, black, or oolong tea
Herbal blends and powdered supplements
Dust generation from fine powders
Product variation in density and particle size
Preservation of aroma and freshness
Packaging variety, including sachets, pouches, tins, and glass jars
Anti-Dust Enclosures: Dust-tight construction ensures clean operation and maintains hygiene.
Precision Weighing: Perfect for 10g, 50g, 250g retail packs and bulk 1kg or more.
Speed Adjustment: Programmable settings allow for gentle handling of lightweight leaves or more robust coffee beans.
Integration with Vacuum Packing Machines: For freshness-critical products, weighers can feed directly into vacuum-sealing machines for longer shelf life.
The result is improved efficiency in packaging operations and consistency in consumer experience—essential for premium coffee and tea brands.
The chemical industry deals with a wide variety of materials, many of which require strict handling and accurate dosing due to their chemical composition, cost, or intended use.
Fertilizer beads
Plastic pellets
Detergent powders
Industrial salts
Water purification compounds
Dust control is critical for both safety and machine longevity.
Material abrasiveness can wear down equipment.
Bulk density variation requires frequent adjustment.
Strict batch control needed for industrial standards.
Rugged Construction: Stainless steel frames with anti-corrosive coatings stand up to harsh materials.
Accuracy for Bulk Packages: Ideal for packaging 500g–5kg of chemicals in industrial or consumer packaging.
Quick Cleaning Design: Drop-open hoppers and tool-less removal allow fast changeover and maintenance.
Sealed Electronics: Protection from dust ingress into control panels and sensors.
For chemical companies looking to automate weighing without compromising safety or precision, the 10-head weigher provides a perfect blend of performance and protection.
Few industries demand the level of precision and hygiene required by pharmaceutical manufacturing. Even a small variation in dosage could lead to ineffective treatment or safety concerns. Whether it’s capsules, soft gels, or powdered supplements, pharmaceutical packaging must meet the strictest regulatory standards.
Nutritional supplements (protein powder, collagen)
Herbal medicine granules
Over-the-counter pills (e.g., vitamin C)
Medical capsules and tablets
Cleanroom compatibility
Tool-less disassembly for frequent cleaning
Micro-dosing precision
FDA/GMP-compliant materials
Ultra-Precise Sensors: Capable of dosing with accuracy down to ±0.1g.
Medical-Grade Materials: Stainless steel SUS316 used in contact parts.
Batch Coding and Traceability: Can be linked to printers or labelers to support lot tracking.
Fail-Safe Features: Reject mechanisms for out-of-spec products.
Pharmaceutical companies rely on such high-precision machines to maintain product safety and ensure regulatory compliance. The 10-head multihead weigher helps streamline production, reduce human error, and increase throughput.
Weighers do not operate in isolation. They are typically integrated into automated packaging lines that may include:
Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) machines
Pre-made pouch fillers
Can/jar filling systems
Vacuum sealing and gas flushing equipment
Labeling and coding units
With PLC communication and customizable interfaces, 10-head weighers can be seamlessly synced with other packaging machinery. This enables fully automated systems that boost productivity, reduce manual handling, and maintain consistent product output.
The 10 Heads Multihead Weigher is more than just a machine—it's a vital part of any modern, efficient packaging line. Its speed, accuracy, and versatility make it ideal for industries ranging from snacks and coffee to chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
