10-Head vs. 14-Head Multihead Weigher: Which One Fits Your Line?

    Choosing between a 10-head and 14-head multihead weigher?

    The main difference comes down to production speed, weighing efficiency, and long-term operating cost. Here’s a quick comparison to help you select the right solution for your packaging line.

• Why Choose a 14-Head Weigher?

    With more weighing hoppers, a 14-head weigher can generate more weight combinations, helping improve speed and reduce product giveaway.

It is ideal for:

• Snacks
• Candy
• Frozen food
• Pet food
• Small bag packaging (10–50g)

    For high-volume factories running multiple shifts, the higher output can significantly improve efficiency.

• Why Choose a 10-Head Weigher?

    A 10-head weigher is a cost-effective option for medium-speed production lines.

It works well for:

• Larger bag sizes
• Moderate production speeds
• Start-up factories
• Customers looking for lower initial investment

    Despite the lower head count, it still provides excellent weighing accuracy and stable operation.

Both models feature:

• IP65 waterproof design
• Easy-clean hopper structure
• 99 product preset programs
• Optional Siemens PLC control
• High-precision weighing performance

    They are suitable for snacks, nuts, coffee beans, frozen foods, hardware, pet food, and other granular products.

Choose a 10-head weigher if:

• Your output demand is moderate
• You want lower upfront costs
