What Is Multihead Weigher?

A multihead weigher, or combination weigher, is an automatic weighing machine that calculates the best weight from multiple hoppers to achieve highly accurate, fast, and consistent fills. It’s widely used in packaging lines for food, cannabis, pet food, pharmaceuticals, and more.

But not all weighers are the same.

At Fill Package, we specialize in solving one specific problem—accurately weighing products that don’t flow well.
From sticky meat to fragile cheese, from clumping cannabis to soft candies—our screw and belt-feeding multihead weighers are built to handle what vibratory weighers struggle with.

We’re not just a machine supplier. We’re a trusted technical partner for OEMs, system integrators, and packaging solution providers.

Multihead Weigher Working Principle

A multihead weigher—also called a combination weigher—operates based on the combination calculation principle. It’s a highly efficient automatic weighing system designed to deliver both speed and accuracy.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Product Feeding
    Product is distributed into multiple weigh buckets (or heads) via vibratory, screw, or belt feeders—depending on the material’s flowability.

  2. Individual Weighing
    Each head captures a small, independent quantity of the product. These weights are sent to the central control unit.

  3. Combination Calculation
    The software instantly calculates all possible combinations from the available heads. Out of potentially hundreds of combinations, it selects the one whose total is closest to the target weight.

  4. Discharge
    The selected buckets open simultaneously, releasing their contents into the packaging machine.

Why “More Heads = More Accuracy and Speed”?

The number of heads directly affects both performance and precision.
The more heads your multihead weigher has, the more combinations it can compute per cycle—which:

  • Improves weighing accuracy (±0.3g–5g, depending on material and setup)
  • Increases speed by reducing wait time between optimal combinations
  • Minimizes product giveaway through more precise control

In most operations, only half the total heads are used in each combination, leaving the rest to re-fill, allowing continuous weighing with minimal downtime.

 Example:

Let’s say you have a 14-head multihead weigher and your target is 100g.
Each head might contain between 5–25g. The system will calculate hundreds of possible combinations like:

  • Head 1 + Head 4 + Head 8 = 99.8g
  • Head 3 + Head 7 + Head 12 = 100.1g
  • Head 2 + Head 5 + Head 11 = 100.0g ✅ ← selected

The computer chooses the closest match within milliseconds, ensuring fast, accurate cycles without overfilling.

At Fill Package, our combination weigher logic is backed by simple, intuitive software and real-time parameter adjustability—ensuring it performs as promised, even under challenging conditions.

Fill&Package Multihead Weighers Advantage

our advantage

The design and manufacture of mechanical parts can be customized according to the physical characteristics, chemical properties, shape, size and other factors of different materials. For example: powdery products need a leak-proof hopper, fragile products need a low chute and add rubber pads on the products contact surface ,large-volume salads need a heightened buffer hopper etc.

our advantage 2

Our program can make necessary changes and customized settings according to your needs under the existing software.For example: improve the user interface, add or delete functions or modules, improving the performance and security, and so on. We are committed to providing high-quality services to ensure our customers get the best user experience.

Maybe you will have many questions to purchase multihead weighers .pls check follows ,Hope helpful to you .

I’ve never heard of Fill Package. Can I trust you?

We understand. Our brand is well-known in China for complex material weighing—but our export presence is younger. In fact, over 90% of China’s screw-feeding weighers for sticky products are made by us.

Will your machine be accurate enough for my product?

If it’s a sticky, fragile, or hard-to-flow material—we’ve already built for it.
Our team runs tests on actual or similar samples, with videos and performance reports shared before any order is confirmed.

Is your software complicated?

No. Our program is designed for ease. It’s built to get operators up and running fast—no complex menus, just logic that works.

What about maintenance and spare parts?

Our design is simple, stable, and low-cost to maintain.
We don’t force expensive spare parts sales.
And unlike others, our PCB boards are backward-compatible, meaning no chaos managing different versions. You only need 1–2 backup boards—not a pile of SKU-matched chips.

What if it fails later?

We offer real remote support—you’ll get help even during testing, not just post-sale.
We guide you via video, parameter setup, and fault checks. If needed, we’ll repair your board rather than upsell a new one.

How often does a combination scale need to be calibrated?

The frequency of calibration of combinatin scale depends on many factors, such as the accuracy of scale and accuracy your need, the environment and frequency of use, etc. In general, it is recommended that calibration scale be calibrated at least once a week. The weight of the calibration scale used also varies depending on the weighing need. The commonly used weight is 1KG. But for higher precision requirements ,calibration weighers of 100g or 300g should be used .

In addition, if you find that target weigh is different to your expectations when you use the combination scale, you should also calibrate it as soon as possible, and check whether the weighing hopper is operating normally and whether there is any material jam.

Where is the combination scale usually placed on the package line ?

Combination scales are usually placed at the end of the production system to weigh and package the products that have been produced. It is usually placed above the weighing system or packaging system, that is, above the conveyor belt, vibrating feeder and packaging machine. At the same time, Generally, in order to ensure its stability, it will be installed on a solid working platform to avoid shaking and swaying from affecting its accuracy. In addition, in order to have better accuracy, avoid the influence of environments, such as wind and other equipment intervention .

What happens when the combination scale detects an unsatisfactory weight?

When an unsatisfactory weight is detected, the scale will display an error message . This is to let the operator find the error in time, and immediately take out the incorrectly weighed material, so that the scale can continue to operate normally.

Add a collection hopper on the scale body can make this process automatic. It will be automatically discharged unqualified products from the other side of the collecting hopper,  there is no need for the operator to solve it.

At the same time, frequent overweight will cause damage to load cell, and may lead to repair or replacement of load cell, so you should read the manual carefully before running the weighers . communicate with us in time if you have any problems during use.

What's load cell ?

Load cells are one of the most important components in combination scales. They are used to measure the weight or force of an object. They work on the principle that when an object is subjected to an external force, the material inside the object undergoes deformation, which converts the weight or force of the object into an electrical signal. By measuring these electrical signals, the weight or force of the object can be determined.

load cell

A load cell is a precision measuring parts that requires regular maintenance to maintain its accuracy and reliability, and to protect against shock ,vibration and overload

 

What's need attention when run machine ?

1.”Clean ” &”Zero ” all the buckets very times when start machines

2.Don’t push a large pressure on weigh buckets and load cell

3.Do switch offf the power supply when maintaining or cleaing machine .

4.Make sure machines fastern and stable .
