WeighPack multi-head weigher

Company: WeighPack Systems Inc.

Equipment Snapshot: With WeighPack’s PrimoCombi 0.5L multi-head weigher, operators have less to learn, technicians simplify troubleshooting, managers enjoy more uptime, and executives benefit from lower operating costs. With a vast array of differentiating features, the PrimoCombi both challenges our current view of weighing automation and provides a glimpse into the future of packaging innovation.

The PrimoCombi’s structural design, highly suitable for the snack food and bakery industries, consists of sturdy 304 stainless steel construction. Open frame assembly leaves no small crevices for bacteria to hide, making the PrimoCombi ideal for applications with stringent sanitation standards. The PrimoCombi, available in 10 and 14 weigh-bucket combinations, utilizes an advanced CAN bus wiring system, housing all electrical components remotely and eliminating any risk of damage during cleaning.

A tool-less adjustable hopper makes loading product easy and convenient. Vibratory pan feed mechanisms and stagger dump settings also ensure that product freely flows through the machine. By using a combination of 3 to 5 weigh-buckets, the PrimoCombi maintains accuracy to one one-hundredth of a gram and eliminates excess product giveaway. For certain production requirements, the PrimoCombi is also capable of sorting and mixing.

The PrimoCombi comes standard with a Windows 360 Operating System that can be easily interfaced with any ERP/MRP software. This feature allows for a complete operational overview, remote control of machine functionality, and total reporting transparency.

The PrimoCombi is a compact, complete weighing solution designed for high performance applications and tight accuracy requirements. By combining sound engineering with simple auxiliary integration and a customizable user interface, the PrimoCombi provides a true comprehensive weighing solution.
