12-Head V-Belt Multihead Weigher | Precision Weighing for Fragile & Sticky Products

Standard vibratory feeders are the enemy of delicate products. If you package rock sugar, freeze-dried fruit, or irregularly shaped snacks, you already know the pain: excessive breakage, constant jamming, and inconsistent weights that trigger customer complaints. Our 12-head V-belt multihead weigher was engineered specifically to solve these problems. By replacing traditional vibration with a smooth V-belt conveying system and a custom anti-stick discharge mechanism, this v-belt combination scale delivers ±2g accuracy at 30 BPM—without compromising product integrity.

Why a V-Belt Combination Scale Outperforms Vibratory Feeders

Traditional automatic weighing equipment relies on vibration to move product forward. For hard, uniform granules this works fine. But for fragile product weighing, vibration causes three critical failures:

1. Excessive Breakage: Aggressive shaking forces cubes and crisps to collide repeatedly, generating fines and reducing sellable yield.

2. Jamming & Sticking: Irregular shapes and slightly tacky surfaces catch in vibratory troughs, causing blockages that require manual clearing every few minutes.

3. Inconsistent Accuracy: When material flow is erratic due to sticking or bridging, the quantitative packaging machine cannot maintain stable head loads, resulting in overweight giveaway or underweight rejects.

The 12-head V-belt multihead weigher eliminates all three issues at the source. The V-shaped belt cradles each piece with full surface contact, transporting it smoothly without impact. Combined with an optimized buffer discharge chute, your product arrives at the bag intact, every cycle.

Applicable Materials

This high speed combination weigher is purpose-built for products that standard scales cannot handle reliably:

Key Design Note: Every contact surface is optimized for sticky product multihead weigher applications. Belt angle, chute geometry, and hopper coating are all calibrated to prevent residue buildup and ensure continuous flow.

5 Pain Points This Machine Eliminates

✅ Breakage & Yield Loss → Solved

V-belt conveying replaces violent vibration. Product rides the belt surface without tumbling or colliding. Breakage rates drop dramatically, protecting your profit margin on premium items like rock sugar weighing packaging.

✅ Jamming & Bridging → Solved

Custom buffer discharge chutes guide material through the transition zone without high-speed impact. No more blocked hoppers or mid-shift teardowns.

✅ Weight Inconsistency → Solved

12 independent load cells sample simultaneously. The smart combination algorithm evaluates thousands of permutations per second, selecting the optimal head combination within milliseconds. Result: stable ±2g accuracy, pack after pack.

✅ Downtime from Cleaning → Solved

Dual anti-stick design (V-belt + polished chute) prevents residue accumulation. Operators spend time producing, not scraping.

✅ Speed Bottlenecks → Solved

Fragile products no longer force line slowdowns. The v-belt combination scale maintains 30 BPM continuously because gentle handling and high speed are no longer mutually exclusive.

Key Features

V-Belt Gentle Transport

Full-surface cradle conveying eliminates point-impact damage. Ideal for freeze dried food packaging lines where appearance equals value.

12 Independent Weighing Heads

Millisecond-level combination calculation ensures ±2g precision regardless of product shape variation.

Anti-Stick Discharge System

Optimized chute angles and food-grade coatings prevent bridging and residual buildup in sticky product multihead weigher applications.

30 BPM Sustained Output

No speed derating required for delicate materials. Your food packaging machine line runs at full design capacity.

Modular Integration

Plug-and-play compatibility with VFFS machines, pre-made bag packers, Z-bucket elevators, and checkweighers.

IP65 Washdown-Rated Hygiene Design

SUS304 stainless steel, sealed load cells, and quick-release belts enable fast cleaning and HACCP/FDA compliance, reducing sanitation downtime in food packaging machine environments.

How It Works: Step-by-Step

1. Product Feeding: Material is loaded into the top-mounted buffer hopper via Z-elevator or manual loading.

2. Controlled Dispensing: The buffer hopper releases product evenly onto the V-belt radial feeder.

3. Individual Head Weighing: Each of the 12 weigh hoppers captures and measures its portion independently.

4. Smart Combination Calculation: The controller instantly identifies the head combination closest to target weight, achieving ±2g accuracy.

5. Buffered Discharge: Selected hoppers open sequentially; product slides down the V-belt transfer chute without free-fall impact.

6. Continuous Cycle: Empty hoppers refill immediately. Next weighing cycle begins before the previous discharge completes, sustaining 30 BPM output.

Frequently Asked Questions

Protect Your Product. Protect Your Profit.

Every gram of overfill is lost revenue. Every broken cube is a quality complaint. Every minute spent clearing jams is wasted capacity. The 12-head V-belt multihead weigher solves all three simultaneously.
