R-Series Linear Multihead Weighers | Technical Information R-Series linear multihead weighers features and benefits Designed for low target weight applications, the layout of these compact weighers offers important advantages in terms of gentle handling and of simple, space-saving infeed arrangements, especially when it comes to mix-weighing. Superior product flow control Small footprint for economical use of space These weighers excel in handling free-flowing products that have a tendency to ‘run away’. A load cell controls the infeed, with further photocell monitoring of the exit of the initial vibrating feeder trough. Here, a second trough carries the product stream as two separate channels, each regulated by a pneumatic shutter, on to the pool hopper. A timing hopper compacts each weighment before discharge. These weighers fit easily into space-constrained factory layouts owing both to their very compact design and to the lack of any need for complex infeed arrangements, even when mix-weighing. High speed, high accuracy Each weigh head has two weigh hoppers. Combined with superior flow control, this enables high speeds (60-120wpm) to be attained, while maintaining excellent accuracy (typically 0.5 to 1.0g) and so keeping giveaway very low. Their compact size allows weighers to be combined over a single packing machine to easily reach speeds of, for example, 360wpm (two double-discharge 12-head machines, single product). Easy to operate and clean The operator interface is simple and intuitive. Up to 200 product/ pack presets can be programmed for fast changeovers. All contact parts are removable without tools for cleaning. Main bodies are of stainless steel construction and washdown models can be specified. Long-life, low maintenance, environment-friendly Weigh and drive units are of corrosion-resistant, dustproof construction. The superior product flow and gentle handling discourage dust generation and each machine has a dust-proof cover to help keep factory particulate levels low. Gentle handling of fragile products From the infeed chute (which easily accepts product from a conveyor belt) through to the pool hoppers, individual drop distances are kept to a minimum. The combined drop from infeed to timing hopper is typically less than 600mm.

R-Series linear multihead weighers Fast, accurate packing of low target weight, free-flowing products and mixtures These multihead weighers in linear format, with their superior flow control, are an excellent choice for handling low target weights (5g to 50g) of free-flowing dry or frozen products at high speed. They are already used for major world brands of confectionery, nuts, dehydrated vegetables and biscuits. Their economical use of space in mixing lines makes them particularly suitable in, for example, the accurate combining of soup ingredients. They include 6, 7, 8 and 12-head...
