Level Sensor
Product Hopper
Flow Gate
Weigh Heads
Control Cabinet
Chute
Product Hopper
The product hopper holds and distributes product between the feed gates.
Weigh Head
Weigh hoppers weigh, hold and release product once a suitable combination is found.
Feed Gate
Feed gates can be adjusted to allow more or less product flow for different product types.
Chutes
The chute guide product from the weigh hoppers into the downstream packaging line.
Feed Pans
Feed pans vibrate to move product from the cone into the feed hoppers.
Control Panel
The control panel manages weighing programs, settings, and operates the machine.

Compact Footprint
Takes up less space than multihead weighers, ideal for smaller packing lines or limited factory layouts.
Simple Operation
Straightforward controls and settings make it easy for operators to learn and use, reducing training time.
Accurate Digital Load Cells
Each head uses a digital load cell to weigh product precisely, helping you meet weight tolerances and reduce giveaway.
Controlled Product Flow
Uses vibration feeding to ensure even, consistent movement into the weighing pan improving accuracy and cycle time.
Tool Free Cleaning
Quick release contact parts for easy dismantling, cleaning and changeovers, ideal for allergen control or product variety.
Durable Construction
Stainless steel design suitable for food grade or industrial environments, built to last in continuous use settings.
Batch or Continuous Modes
Supports both batch weighing (for manual packing) and continuous operation for automatic filling machines.
Easy Integration
Works well with vertical and horizontal form-fill-seal machines, pouch fillers and conveyor fed packing lines.
Lower Maintenance Requirements
