Ishida 10 Head Multihead Weigher

• Accurate weighing and packaging of snack foods, confectionery, and biscuits.
• Portioning of frozen foods such as vegetables, fruits, and seafood.
• Precise weighing of granular products like rice, pasta, and cereals.
• Handling of non-food items requiring accurate weight, such as small components or pet food.

Typical capacity

This class of Ishida multihead weigher commonly handles product weights from a few grams up to approximately 3,000g per weighment, depending on product density and target weight.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate amperage for industrial use.

Throughput

For a 10-head configuration, throughput can typically range from 60 to 120 weighments per minute, influenced by product characteristics and target weight.

Pan volume

This unit features 3-litre pans, which are suitable for a wide range of products, particularly those with larger piece sizes or lower bulk density.

Construction material

Multihead weighers for food processing are typically constructed from stainless steel, often with dimpled surfaces for improved product flow and hygiene.

Footprint

A 10-head multihead weigher with a stand typically requires a floor area of approximately 1.5m x 1.5m, plus space for infeed and outfeed conveyors.

Environmental rating

WP (Wash Down) models are commonly designed to an IP66 rating, indicating protection against powerful water jets for thorough cleaning.
