Mixed Nuts, Oatmeal & Beyond: How High Speed 20 Head Combination Weigher Masters Multi-Product Weighing

    If you're a food manufacturer or packaging facility manager tasked with weighing mixed small granular products—whether it's trail mix with nuts and dried fruit, customized oatmeal blends, or even specialty mixes like tea leaves and seeds—you know the struggle all too well. Balancing speed, precision, and flexibility when switching between 2-in-1, 3-in-1, or even 5-in-1 product mixes often feels like a trade-off. Either you sacrifice accuracy for speed, or deal with clunky equipment that slows down production when switching between recipes. But what if there's a solution that eliminates these compromises? Enter the UUPAC High Speed 20 Head 1.6/2.5L Combination Weigher—engineered to master multi-product weighing with unmatched efficiency, precision, and adaptability.

The Pain Points of Multi-Product Weighing

    Weighing mixed granular products comes with unique challenges that single-product equipment can't address:

• Inconsistent dosing when blending different-sized particles (e.g., small seeds vs. larger nuts)
• Time-consuming equipment adjustments when switching between mix recipes or batch sizes
• Losses from overfilling (wasting product) or underfilling (risking compliance issues)
• Bottlenecks from slow weighing speeds that can't keep up with high-volume production lines

    The UUPAC High Speed 20 Head Combination Weigher was designed to tackle these pain points head-on. Built for versatility, it seamlessly handles both single-product high-speed weighing and multi-product mixing—making it a workhorse for facilities that need to adapt to changing product lines without sacrificing performance.

Core Features That Make Multi-Product Weighing Effortless

    What sets this 20-head combination weigher apart? Let's break down the engineering that makes it a master of mixed-product applications:

1. Dual Hopper Sizes for Maximum Flexibility

    One size doesn't fit all when it comes to multi-product weighing—and this weigher gets that. Available in two models to suit your needs:

• 1.6L Hopper: Ideal for smaller batches or lighter mixes (1–1500g per hopper), perfect for tea blends, seed mixes, or mini snack packs.
• 2.5L Hopper: Built for larger volumes (1–2000g per hopper), designed for bulkier mixes like family-sized oatmeal packs or premium nut assortments.

    This flexibility means you don't need separate equipment for small-batch artisanal products and high-volume retail lines—one machine handles it all.

2. Blazing Speed Without Sacrificing Precision

When it comes to multi-product lines, speed directly impacts your bottom line. This weigher delivers an impressive 140 packages per minute (p/M)—far faster than traditional mixing scales—while maintaining a pinpoint accuracy of ±0.1g. How?

• A high-precision special load cell minimizes errors, even when blending products with different densities.
• The stable actuator design reduces mechanical vibration, ensuring consistent readings batch after batch.
• The "high-speed stagger dump" function prevents product jams and ensures smooth, continuous discharge—critical for keeping up with fast-moving packaging lines.

    For manufacturers, this translates to more units produced per hour, less waste from inaccurate dosing, and happier customers with consistent product quality.

3. Smart Design for Seamless Multi-Product Transitions

    Switching between mix recipes shouldn't mean halting production. This weigher's intuitive features cut down on downtime and frustration:

• Automatic weight compensation: The system adjusts based on the previous batch's weight, eliminating the need for manual recalibration when switching products.
• Divided upper storage funnel: Separates two different products at the feed stage, streamlining the mixing process and reducing cross-contamination risks.
• Independent main vibrator: Controls the thickness of product flow independently—perfect for blending delicate items (like dried berries) with sturdier granule (like almonds) without damaging either.
• Dual-mode compatibility: The single discharge chute gate easily converts to a double gate for use with twin packaging machines when you're running a single product—adding even more versatility to your line.

4. Reliability That Keeps Production Running

    In high-volume facilities, equipment downtime is costly. This 20-head weigher is built for durability and stability:

• Modular and CAN bus technology: Enhances efficiency and reduces maintenance needs, so the machine stays operational longer.
• Integral machine frame and cabinet: Provides rock-solid stability, even in busy production environments, further boosting weighing accuracy.
• Siemens PLC/MCU control system: Ensures smooth operation and easy troubleshooting, backed by a user-friendly 10-inch touchscreen HMI (Human-Machine Interface) that simplifies recipe storage and adjustments.

Who Benefits Most From This Weigher?

    While it excels at mixed products, the UUPAC High Speed 20 Head Combination Weigher is a game-changer for a range of industries and applications:

• Snack manufacturers: Weigh mixed nuts, trail mixes, or candy assortments with speed and precision.
• Breakfast food producers: Handle oatmeal blends, granola mixes, or cereal combinations—from single-serve packets to bulk bags.
• Specialty food brands: Manage artisanal tea blends, spice mixes, or seed assortments that require careful dosing.
• General packaging facilities: Adapt to changing customer demands without investing in multiple specialized machines.
