Bilwinco Linear Weigher

• Accurate weighing and dispensing of free-flowing granular or small particulate products.
• Portion control for snack foods, confectionery, and dry pet food.
• Integration into automated packaging lines for precise filling of bags, pouches, or containers.
• Batching of ingredients in food processing, where consistent weight is critical.
• Weighing of non-food items such as small components, hardware, or plastics.

Typical capacity

For this class of linear weigher, throughput can range from 10 to 30 weighs per minute, depending on product characteristics and target weight.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on standard industrial single-phase (e.g., 230V, 50Hz) or three-phase power supplies.

Construction material

As described, these units are all stainless steel, which is standard for food-grade applications, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Weighing accuracy

Linear weighers are designed for high accuracy, typically achieving tolerances of +/- 0.5g to 2g, depending on the product and target weight.

Footprint

Single-lane linear weighers like the MD350 & 350SP are relatively compact, suitable for integration into existing lines without requiring extensive space.

Product suitability

Best suited for dry, free-flowing products such as nuts, seeds, grains, pulses, and small confectionery items.

Operation method

Foot switch operation indicates a manual or semi-automatic feeding process, common for precise batching or operator-assisted lines.

• What is the difference between a linear weigher and a multihead weigher?

  Linear weighers typically use one or two vibratory feed pans to deliver product to a single weigh bucket, offering good accuracy for simpler applications. Multihead weighers use multiple weigh buckets to combine portions for higher speed and often greater accuracy.

• Can these units be integrated into an existing packaging line?

• What kind of products are suitable for a single-lane linear weigher?

• How difficult is it to change products on this type of weigher?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used linear weigher?

Checkweighers are valued in food processing for reliable weight verification and compliance support. Buyers typically prioritise accuracy, speed, and ease of integration with existing production lines. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration history, mechanical condition, and software functionality proves important. Industry sentiment favours models offering consistent performance, straightforward maintenance, and robust build quality. Durable construction and proven track records across multiple production environments remain key considerations for buyers assessing secondhand equipment.
