What Is a Screw Feeder Multihead Weigher?
A screw feeder multihead weigher is a type of combination weigher designed for products that cannot be handled efficiently by standard vibration feeding.
Unlike traditional multihead weighers that rely on vibration plates, this system uses controlled screw feeding to deliver products steadily into each weighing hopper.
This makes it ideal for sticky, moist, oily, or non-free-flowing products commonly found in food processing and packaging lines.

Feeding Method Comparison
| Feeding Type | Suitable Products | Common Limitations |
|---|---|---|
| Vibration Feeding | Free-flowing granules, dry snacks | Unstable with sticky or moist products |
| Screw Feeding | Sticky, oily, irregular products | Designed for controlled, consistent flow |
Screw feeding enables precise control of product movement, thereby reducing product sticking, bridging, and inconsistent weighing typically caused by vibration-based systems.

Typical Applications
Our screw feeder multihead weighers are widely used for:
- Marinated meat and poultry
- Fresh or moist food products
- Sticky snacks and coated items
- Cheese, shredded or sliced products
- Oily or irregular food materials
If your product tends to clump, stick, or resist vibration, screw feeding is often the most reliable solution.
Designed for Stable and Accurate Weighing
The screw feeder design focuses on process stability, not just speed.
Key advantages include:
- Controlled product flow into each weighing hopper
- Reduced product sticking and residue buildup
- Improved weighing consistency for difficult materials
- Suitable for high-mix, variable production environments
This results in more stable weighing performance, especially in applications where vibration feeding struggles.

Yes. That’s exactly what this weigher system is built for. We’ll customize the screw size, pitch, and even test your actual material. You’ll receive a video before we build anything.
Yes. Our software stores multiple product profiles. With one touch, your operator can switch between saved settings.
We solve these through a mix of controlled screw feeding, surface treatment (Teflon or dimples), and customized hopper gates like our scraper-type design.
Absolutely. Logo, language, panel screen—we’ll make it look like your own.
Usually 30–45 days. We confirm specs and test your product first—then build.
Products that are sticky, moist, oily, or difficult to flow smoothly typically require screw feeding instead of vibration feeding.
Yes. Screw feeding provides controlled movement, making it suitable for sticky and difficult-to-handle food products.
Vibration feeding relies on product movement through vibration, while screw feeding uses mechanical control to move products steadily.
Yes. Configuration can be adjusted based on product type, production speed, and packaging line requirements.
