How to Choose the Right Multihead Weigher for Your Packaging Needs

Saturday, 02/25/2023

Selecting the right multihead weigher is crucial for improving packaging efficiency, accuracy, and product quality. This guide covers key factors such as capacity, accuracy, applicable industries, price, quality, brand reputation, and after-sales service to help you make the best choice.

1. Determine Capacity and Accuracy Needs

When choosing a combination weigher, capacity and accuracy are key factors.

  • Capacity: Large-capacity multihead weighers are suitable for bulk products but may sacrifice precision.

  • Accuracy: High-precision models offer better measurement consistency but usually handle smaller volumes.

  • Measurement Range: Ensure the target product’s weight falls within the weigher’s range to avoid inaccurate results.

Example: If you regularly package products heavier than the machine’s limit, your readings will be unreliable. Always match your machine’s capacity to your product weight and precision requirements.

2. Match the Weigher to Your Industry

Different industries require different weighing solutions.

  • Large-volume products like potatoes, onions, or vegetables work best with salad multihead weighers.

  • Fragile items such as biscuits, peanuts, or puffed snacks require breakage-proof multihead weighers to prevent damage.

  • Counting function weighers are ideal when you need to calculate quantity by weight.

By choosing a machine specifically designed for your material type, you’ll improve efficiency and reduce product waste.

3. Balance Price and Quality

While high-quality multihead weighers may require a larger initial investment, they deliver long-term value by:

  • Reducing maintenance costs

  • Offering higher accuracy

  • Lasting longer with stable performance

Cheaper models may save money upfront but often lead to more repairs and downtime.


4. Consider Brand and After-Sales Support

Opt for reputable brands that provide:

  • Warranty coverage

  • Technical support

  • Spare parts availability

Strong after-sales service ensures minimal downtime and reduced costs if a problem arises.
