Multihead Weighing & Portioning Solutions
Screw Feeding Weighers (MHW SF)
The Multihead Weighing Screw configuration is designed specifically for difficult-to-handle products such as marinated meats, wet salads, or sticky materials. By using screw feeders rather than traditional vibration or gravity methods, it provides precise, consistent weighing even for challenging product types.
Key Benefits: The screw-fed mechanism ensures precision for sticky products, eliminating buildup and maximizing weighing accuracy. Ideal for manufacturers dealing with sauces or sticky foods.
Product Applications: Wet salads, marinated meats, sticky products, seafood, etc.
Vibratory Feeding Weighers (MHW VF)
Multihead Weighers with Vibratory Feeding deliver superior speed and efficiency for dry, free-flowing products such as snacks, nuts, or cereals. With vibration-based technology, it ensures smooth product handling and distribution across the weighing heads, making it perfect for high-speed processing environments.
Key Benefits: Consistent product flow for dry items, minimizing clogs or product misalignment. Designed for high-throughput operations while maintaining accuracy.
Product Applications: Snacks, cereals, nuts, grains, fruit, frozen, and more!
Sticky Product Weighing (MHW SF Extreme)
The MHW SF Extreme (patent pending!) is a cutting-edge, multihead, screw feeding weighing solution for automating the weighing of extremely sticky products. With this technology, production can reallocate up to70% of labor costs while ensuring consistent, accurate portioning for sticky or we products such as mixed salads, pulled meats, cottage cheese, and so much more.
Key Benefits: Boasting one of the smallest footprints on the market, this solution is ideal for any production space. The automation of complex weighing tasks reduces manual labor and human contamination risks. No matter the complexity or stickiness of the product, there is an efficient combinatorial weighing setup that matches your production needs. It’s also incredibly easy to clean with fast changeover times of 5-10 minutes!
Product Applications: RTE salads, mixed marinated products, pulled meats, cottage cheese, other mixed or sticky products, etc.
