Rospen 8 Head Linear Weigher System

• Accurate portioning of free-flowing and semi-free-flowing products in food processing.
• Packaging lines requiring precise weight control for confectionery, snacks, and dry goods.
• Batching systems for ingredients where consistent weight is critical.
• Integration into automated packaging machinery for improved efficiency and reduced giveaway.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of 8-head linear weigher typically ranges from 30 to 70 weighments per minute, depending on product characteristics and target weight.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with a control voltage of 24V DC.

Weighing range

Individual weigh heads are typically designed for a specific weight range, commonly from 10g up to 5kg per dump, with high accuracy.

Construction material

As described, all stainless steel construction is standard for food-grade applications, often with dimpled surfaces to prevent product sticking.

Footprint

The overall footprint for an 8-head linear weigher system, including hoist and platform, can vary but typically requires a floor area of approximately 2m x 2m and a height of 3m to 4m.

Product suitability

Linear weighers are well-suited for granular, diced, sliced, and other free-flowing or semi-free-flowing products, as demonstrated by its previous use for olives.

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

  Routine maintenance typically involves cleaning, calibration checks, and inspection of wear parts such as vibrator trays, load cells, and seals. Mechanical components should be checked for smooth operation.

• Can this system handle different product types?

• What spares are commonly needed for these units?

• Is specialist installation required?

• How accurate are linear weighers compared to multihead weighers?

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.
