The Linear Weigher is an automatic weighing machine designed to streamline packaging of middle-granule products. Benefits include faster throughput, reduced manual labor, consistent portioning, improved packaging efficiency, and a hygienic stainless-steel construction suited to multiple industries.
It's suitable for food (rice, coffee beans, nuts, raisins, candies), beverage ingredients, chemicals in granule form, and textiles where granular dosing is required. The machine is optimized for medium-size granules and particulates.
It supports a wide range of packaging formats including bottles, stand-up pouches, bags and films. It can work with common packaging materials such as plastic, paper, metal, glass and wood-based containers or carriers.
The frame and product-contact parts are made from 304 stainless steel, offering good corrosion resistance and hygienic properties. The design facilitates cleaning and meets typical food-industry hygiene expectations.
Typical model details include a 3 L dosing volume and a 7-inch touch-screen HMI. The machine is PLC-controlled for reliable automation and straightforward recipe and parameter management.
The Linear Weigher uses PLC-controlled dosing and precise motor-driven feeds to deliver consistent portioning. Actual accuracy depends on product characteristics and target weight; consult the supplier for measured performance data for your product.
Throughput depends on product bulk density, target weight, packaging type and operator settings. The machine is designed for efficient, continuous automatic operation—suppliers can provide estimated packs-per-minute rates based on your product and weight range.
Yes. The PLC control, standardized communications and mechanical interfaces make it possible to integrate with upstream feeders and downstream former/sealer/conveyor systems. Integration options and I/O mapping should be confirmed with the manufacturer or integrator.
The 7-inch touch-screen HMI and PLC control are designed for ease of use and quick recipe recall. Basic operator training—usually provided by the supplier—covers start/stop, selecting recipes, simple troubleshooting and routine cleaning.
The machine supports quick changeovers by adjusting dosing parameters and making minor tooling or guide changes. The exact time depends on product differences and required mechanical adjustments; modular options can reduce changeover times further.
Regular cleaning of product-contact surfaces with appropriate food-safe detergents is recommended. Routine maintenance includes checking and tightening fasteners, inspecting sensors, lubricating bearings/motors per the manual, and verifying PLC and HMI operation. The 304 stainless construction eases washdown and sanitation.
Standard safety features typically include emergency stop buttons, safety guards around moving parts, interlocks on access panels and compliant electrical protections. Specific safety equipment and certifications vary by supplier and region.
Yes. Common options include different feeders or vibratory inlets for challenging products, metal detection, checkweighing, printing/labeling interfaces, additional conveyors, custom tooling for special packages and upgraded controls or communications protocols.
Power, air and floor-mounting requirements vary by model and region. The machine requires a stable electrical supply and may require a small compressed air line for pneumatic components. Exact electrical specs, footprint and utility needs should be obtained from the supplier or installation guide.
Warranty terms and after-sales support vary by manufacturer and distributor. Many suppliers offer a standard warranty (commonly 12 months), spare parts availability, installation support and optional service contracts. Confirm warranty scope, response times and available training with your vendor before purchase.
