Whether you are handling free-flowing grains or challenging sticky products, our weighers ensure every package meets your exact specifications.

What is a Multihead Weigher?

A multihead weigher is a high-precision weighing machine that uses multiple weigh heads to achieve a target weight with exceptional accuracy. The process begins when the bulk product is fed to the top of the weigher. A distribution system then evenly disperses the product to a series of vibratory feeder pans, which in turn transport it to individual weigh buckets. Each bucket’s content is weighed by a dedicated load cell. The weigher’s computer then calculates the optimal combination of buckets to achieve the precise target weight, minimizing giveaway and maximizing yield. This is why it is also commonly referred to as a combination weigher.

Not Just a Weigher, But a Solution for the Hardest Products

Some materials don’t flow—and that’s where our expertise shines. While a standard weigher might struggle, Fill Package specializes in designing customized multihead weighers, particularly those with screw feeders, that masterfully handle sticky, wet, fragile, or clumping products. From marinated meats and fresh produce to delicate snacks and powders, our multi-weigher systems are built for the challenge.
If you’ve tried standard combination weighers and failed, this is the system built for what others can’t handle.

Multihead Weigher Working Principle

A multi head weigher, also referred to as a multi weigher or combination weigher, is a high-speed, precision weighing machine widely used for automated packaging processes. Among various types, the screw feeder multihead weigher is uniquely designed to handle sticky, fine, or hard-to-move products—while still using the same core weighing principle as traditional combination weighers.

Shared Working Principle Across All Multi Weighers

Regardless of whether it’s a standard vibratory multihead weigher or a screw feeder type, the fundamental principle remains consistent:

  1. Product Feeding
    Products are delivered into multiple weigh heads.

    • Traditional multi weighers use vibratory feeders (main vibration pans and linear feeders) to move dry, free-flowing products.

    • The screw feeder multihead weigher, in contrast, uses rotating screw shafts to push the product forward—making it ideal for materials that do not flow well, such as sticky powders, pastes, or moist food.

  2. Independent Weighing
    Each head of the combination weigher measures a small amount of product independently. These individual weights are sent to the central processor.

  3. Combination Calculation
    The system then calculates the best combination of heads whose total weight is closest to the target. This combination weighing method ensures minimal giveaway and consistent accuracy.

  4. Discharge
    The selected combination of weigh buckets opens simultaneously to discharge the product into the next stage—typically a packaging machine.

Key Difference: Feeding Mechanism

While the combination weighing principle is the same across all multi head weighers, their feeding systems differ:

  • The standard combination weigher relies on vibration to move material into the weigh buckets.

  • The screw feeder combination weigher replaces vibratory feeding with screw-driven feeding, offering greater control over flow rate—especially for delicate, sticky, or semi-liquid products.

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 .
