Multihead Weighers for Snack Food Packaging Lines


Suitable for: Chips, nuts, popcorn, confectionery, and mixed cereal blends

Multihead weighers operate on the combination weighing principle, achieving target weights by selecting the optimal combination of partial weights from multiple hoppers, thereby ensuring both speed and precision.

These systems handle a wide range of snacks — from light, fragile chips to sticky candies and mixed fruit-and-nut blends — ensuring consistent pack weights even when product density or shape varies.
