Linear Weighers – Precision, Efficiency, and Reliability in Every Package
At Total Food Machines, we provide a wide range of Linear Weighers designed to streamline your packaging operations. Our solutions, from single-head to multi-head models, are engineered to deliver exceptional accuracy and reliability across various product types, ensuring precise weighing and consistent packaging results.
A Linear Weigher is a state-of-the-art system used to measure and dispense exact quantities of product into packaging containers, such as bags, bottles, or boxes. The system typically features multiple weigh hoppers or buckets, each equipped with load cells that accurately measure the weight of the product. Integrated control systems then manage the discharge process, releasing the correct amount of product into each package.
How Our Linear Weighers Work:
-
Feeding Mechanism: The process begins with a hopper or feeder system that stores and delivers the product to be weighed. This product is typically transported via a vibratory feeder or bucket conveyor.
-
Weighing Buckets or Pans: Each weigher is equipped with multiple buckets or pans, which hold a specific amount of product. The number of buckets can vary depending on the capacity and model of the weigher.
-
Load Cells or Sensors: Each bucket is fitted with load cells or sensors that measure the weight of the product in real-time. These sensors continuously provide data to the machine’s PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), ensuring accurate weight measurements.
-
Control System: The PLC controller processes the data from the load cells, compares the measurements to the preset weight, and adjusts as necessary to ensure precise portioning.
-
Discharge Chute: Once the product is accurately weighed, it is released through discharge chutes or funnels into the packaging containers, whether bags, boxes, or trays.
Key Benefits of Linear Weighers:
- Cost-Effective: Linear weighers offer a budget-friendly alternative to more complex systems like multi-head weighers, making them ideal for businesses transitioning from manual scales.
- Compact & User-Friendly: Their compact design and simple operation make them a versatile solution for businesses of all sizes.
- Scalable Solution: Linear weighers are the perfect choice for companies looking to scale their operations without sacrificing accuracy or performance.
Versatile and Efficient: Whether you’re in food processing, pharmaceuticals, or another industry requiring precise portioning, our linear weighers provide reliable, cost-effective solutions that grow with your business needs.
