PFM launches multi-head weigher for delicate products

PFM Packaging Machinery has unveiled a range of in-line multihead weighers with a low drop height for fragile goods.

The MBP C4 Series is available with up to eight heads and is aimed in particular at delicate products such as loose biscuits and soft fruit that are traditionally packed using semi-automatic linear scales.

It is also equipped with new control software to improve accuracy at higher speeds by cutting the time needed to replenish each weigh hopper and allowing the contents of more hoppers to be combined.

“The C4 range brings the speed and accuracy advantages of multihead combination weighing technology to applications where gentle handling is paramount,” said PFM sales and operations director Chris Bolton.

“In-line operation means that hoppers can be relatively shallow compared with radial systems and that horizontal conveyors can be used to combine the hoppers’ output. In this way drop height, and risk of damage, is kept to an absolute minimum.”
