Machine range
Machine selection depends on what you're packing: product characteristics, target weight or dose, throughput, pack format and how the machine needs to integrate with the rest of your line. The guide and the seven families below are organised to help you narrow that down.
A qualitative starting point, not a specification. Exact figures for your product are confirmed once we know what you're packing.
| Machine family | Best suited to | Typical product behaviour | Typical role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Linear weighers | Simpler weighing applications | Relatively free-flowing products | Weighing |
| Multihead weighers | Higher-performance combination weighing | Pieces, granules and many food products | Weighing |
| Checkweighers / inspection | Verifying finished pack weight | Packaged product moving in-line | Inspection |
| Auger fillers | Controlled dosing of powders | Fine and cohesive powders | Filling |
| VFFS baggers | Forming bags from reel film | Free-flowing product suited to vertical fill | Packaging |
| Premade pouch systems | Filling and sealing ready-made pouches | Product suited to a pre-formed pouch format | Packaging |
| Conveying systems | Moving product between stages of a line | Powders, granules and whole pieces | Product handling |
The range
Each card is labelled with the job it belongs to — weighing, inspection, filling, packaging or product handling.
Weighing
Single, double, triple and four-head configurations for free-flowing granules and whole pieces, bench-mounted through floor-standing.
Weighing
Ten, fourteen, twenty-four and thirty-two head combination weighers for high throughput with minimal giveaway.
Inspection
In-line weight verification and reject, integrating upstream and downstream. Stainless build, PLC and touchscreen control.
Filling
Volumetric and gravimetric auger dosing for fine and cohesive powders that a weigher cannot handle.
Packaging
Vertical form-fill-seal for pouches, quad-seal and flat-bottom bags.
Packaging
Mini doypack through four-station and eight-station rotary, with gas flush and vacuum.
Product handling
Enclosed pneumatic transfer of powders, granules and whole pieces, replacing manual handling, screw conveyors and bucket elevators.
