HIGH PERFORMANCE • HIGH ACCURACY

Multihead Combination Weighers

Engineered for high-speed, high-accuracy weighing, Cedar Multihead Combination Weighers continuously evaluate thousands of hopper-weight combinations in real time to identify the optimum discharge closest to the target weight. The result is faster production, reduced product giveaway, and consistent weighing performance for demanding packaging applications.

Up to 32 weighing heads

Food-grade Stainless Steel Construction

User-friendly Touchscreen Control

Suitable for a Wide Variety of Products

Product Overview

Cedar Multihead Combination Weighers are designed to maximize weighing accuracy, speed, and production efficiency for automated packaging lines. Each weigh hopper independently measures the product it contains, while Cedar's advanced combination algorithm continuously evaluates thousands of possible weight combinations to select the one closest to the target weight. This intelligent weighing process minimizes product giveaway and ensures consistent, repeatable results.

The intuitive 10-inch touchscreen provides complete machine control, real-time production monitoring, and recipe management, allowing operators to save and instantly recall product-specific weighing parameters for quick product changeovers. Adjustable over- and under-weight tolerances allow operators to define acceptable weighing limits, while the dual-discharge system automatically separates accepted and rejected batches to maintain consistent product quality. Built from food-grade stainless steel and available in multiple head configurations, Cedar Multihead Combination Weighers provide a reliable solution for high-speed weighing of candies, chips, confectionery, nuts, frozen foods, and other free-flowing products.

FAQs

What is a Multihead Combination Weigher?

A Multihead Combination Weigher is an automated weighing machine used in packaging lines to accurately weigh products before they are filled into bags, containers, or trays. The machine consists of multiple independently operated weigh hoppers that each measure a portion of the product. An intelligent combination algorithm continuously evaluates thousands of possible weight combinations and selects the one that most closely matches the target weight. This enables high-speed, high-accuracy weighing while minimizing product giveaway and maximizing production efficiency.

What products can it handle?

This type of weighing system is widely used for packaging snacks, confectionery, nuts, frozen foods, pet food, grains, pasta, and other free-flowing products where speed, accuracy, and consistency are essential.

How accurate is the weighing?

Cedar Multihead Combination Weighers are designed to deliver highly accurate weighing, typically achieving an accuracy of ±0.5 g to ±2 g, depending on the product characteristics, target weight, machine configuration, and operating conditions.

How many heads are available?

Our Multihead Combination Weighers are available in 10, 14, 20, 24, and 32-head configurations. Each model is designed to meet different production capacities and packaging applications. Contact our team to determine the configuration best suited to your requirements.

Can it integrate with my existing packaging machine?

Yes. Cedar Multihead Combination Weighers can be integrated with most VFFS machines and other automated packaging systems. Our team can configure the machine to work seamlessly with your existing production line, ensuring reliable operation and efficient production.
