Multihead Weighers

R Series Multihead Weighers

With the development of the new R-Series, Ishida offers you the world's fastest and most accurate multihead weighers. Their new, rapid combination calculation system delivers higher speeds and increased efficiency. It also means significantly greater accuracy, enabling these Ishida weighing machines to break new ground in reducing product giveaway.

R-Series mutlihead weighers offer you:

  • Speeds of up to 200 wpm on a 14-head single-discharge weighing machine
  • 16-, 20- and 24-head models proportionately faster
  • Reductions in product giveaway of up to 0.5%
  • Improved efficiency: ‘missed cycles’ virtually eliminated
  • Greater ease of networking/integration (Windows XP®-based platform)
  • Simpler sharing of software, presets and other data across weighing machines and sites
  • Easier, faster operator training, with improved 'Assistant' and Help functions and on-screen manuals and tutorials.

RS Series Multihead Weighers

Ishida's new range of hardworking multihead weighers represents outstanding value, with accuracy and speed that easily outclass most 'top-of-the-range' competitor weighing machine models. Benefit from recent technological advances, including a new, extra-fast combination calculation system, as well as the legendary reliability of Ishida engineering.

The RS series multihead weighers also offer:

  • Improved weighing accuracy means more packs per kg of product
  • Fast calculation time delivers more packs per shift
  • Self-tuning vibration system optimises product flow
  • Simple, tool-free cleaning cuts weighing machine downtime

How multihead weighing works

Product is fed to the top of the weigher. A dispersion/feeder system passes it to pool hoppers. Each pool hopper drops product into a weigh hopper beneath it (as soon as the weigh hopper becomes empty).

The weigher’s computer determines which combination of weigh hoppers contains the weight closest to the target weight, and opens all the hoppers of this combination.

The contents fall, via a discharge chute, into a bagmaker or, alternatively, into a distribution system which places the product, for example, into trays.

Variations on a theme

Dispersion and feeding can be driven by any combination of vibration, gravity, belts, centrifugal force or screw systems.

An extra layer of hoppers (‘booster hoppers’) can be added to store product which has been weighed in the weigh hoppers but not used in a weighment, thus increasing the number of suitable combinations available to the computer and so increasing speed and accuracy.
