Description

Sonic Industries 14-Head Multi-Head Weighing Machine with Timing Bucket (2.5L Capacity) – High-Speed Precision Weighing for Bulk Packaging

Introduction

In the realm of high-performance packaging and automation, precision and efficiency are paramount. As manufacturers, exporters, and contract packagers strive for perfection, equipment that delivers consistent results becomes the cornerstone of production. The Sonic Industries 14-Head Multi-Head Weighing Machine with Timing Bucket (2.5L Capacity) is a premier solution for industries requiring fast, accurate, and reliable weighing for granular, free-flowing, and semi-free-flowing products.

Designed for large-scale production lines, this 14-head weigher enhances your packaging speed while maintaining weight accuracy across multiple product types. Whether you’re in the food, agrochemical, plastic, or co-packing industry, this machine is an ideal investment that ensures long-term productivity and reduced operational costs.

The Sonic 14-Head Multi-Head Weighing Machine is engineered with a network of 14 precision load cells. Each head operates independently to weigh product batches before being evaluated by the software for the optimal combination.

Key Benefits:

• High-speed computation selects the most accurate weight combinations.
• Minimal product giveaway, saving thousands in raw material costs.
• Dynamic weighing range from 10 grams up to 2000 grams, depending on the application.
• Advanced algorithms adjust in real-time for product density and shape.

The result is exceptional accuracy with weighing deviations as low as ±0.1 grams—a crucial factor when packaging premium or cost-sensitive products.

Intelligent 2.5L Timing Bucket Integration

Timing buckets are essential for optimizing the discharge of weighed product. The 2.5-liter capacity per hopper ensures that even voluminous or lightweight products can be collected, held, and released in a coordinated flow.

Advantages of Timing Buckets:

• Synchronizes discharge with packaging machine timing.
• Prevents product backflow or double fills.
• Reduces mechanical stress and vibration on the weigher.
• Minimizes waste due to misalignment or spillage.

This system is especially useful for high-speed pouch packaging or vertical form fill seal (VFFS) systems where consistency in discharge time is key to maintaining line speed.

Robust Food-Grade Stainless Steel Build

Constructed entirely from SS304 stainless steel, the 14-head weigher meets global hygiene and safety standards including FSSAI, GMP, and HACCP. Its durable, rust-resistant frame makes it suitable for both food and non-food products.

• Corrosion resistant even in humid or chemical-heavy environments.
• Smooth, non-stick surface prevents material buildup.
• Easy to clean and maintain, reducing downtime between batch runs.
• Waterproof options available for cleaning with high-pressure jets (optional IP65 protection).

Vibratory Feeders for Uniform Distribution

Each of the 14 hoppers receives product via a vibratory feeder channel. The vibration can be independently controlled to adjust the product flow depending on the material’s physical characteristics.

Features:

• Prevents clumping or jamming of sticky or oily products.
• Adjustable amplitude and frequency for optimal flow.
• Low noise operation even during extended runs.

User-Friendly HMI Touchscreen

Managing complex machinery doesn’t have to be difficult. The Sonic 14-Head Weigher is controlled via a 10-inch color touchscreen interface, providing an intuitive platform for operators to monitor and adjust machine functions.

• Real-time monitoring of weight data, speed, and performance.
• Recipe management system stores presets for various product types.
• Multi-language interface supports English, Hindi, and additional regional languages.
• Self-diagnostics and alarm system ensure prompt fault detection.

Seamless Integration with Packaging Systems

One of the strengths of this weighing system is its compatibility with different packaging machinery. The Sonic 14-Head Weigher integrates smoothly with:

• Vertical Form Fill Seal Machines (VFFS)
• Premade Pouch Machines
• Jar or Bottle Filling Systems
• Tray Filling Machines
• Robotic or automated pick-and-place systems

Communication Protocols:

• RS232, RS485, and Ethernet ready
• Optional SCADA or IoT integration
• PLC compatibility with Siemens, Mitsubishi, Delta, Allen Bradley
