Twin-head weigh depositor

Weigh Depositor Twin Head 5000

Dual‑lane semi‑automatic weigher for powders and granules. Two 25 L hoppers increase throughput; typical speed ≈20–30 bags/min with 100–10000 g fills.

Range100–10000 g
Speed20–30 bags/min
Accuracy2–6 g
Best forCoffee beans, grains, seeds, snacks, chemicals and hardware
Comparable model evidence

Compare the twin-head source-page figures with the smaller Lancing weigh filling models.

The Lancing model comparison places the published range, speed, accuracy wording and hopper information beside the smaller models while retaining the trial conditions and limitations stated on the current pages.

Specify who receives each twin-head discharge

In an operator-assisted installation, draw the intended positions of the operator, empty packs, discharge points and filled packs. Explain whether one person handles both outlets or whether each lane has a separate receiving task. The machine’s combined output should be considered alongside the time needed to present and remove each pack.

Include a clear identification method for samples taken from each lane. If a weighing difference appears, the trial record should make it possible to trace the affected lane, product level and setting without relying on the order in which bags were collected.

Receiving capacity
Observe whether the next pack is ready when each dose is available. Record waiting time separately from the weighing cycle.
Partial operation
Ask which operating modes are provided if one lane is unavailable and whether a proposed single-lane duty requires its own approved setup.

Should a twin-head rate be divided equally between the lanes?

Do not infer lane performance from the combined figure. Request the intended sequence and evidence from each lane under the actual operating method.

Twin-head weighing route

Use the published figures as trial targets, not unconditional guarantees.

The range, speed, accuracy and hopper information shown above comes from the supplied source page. Those figures should be confirmed with the real product, target weight, pack format and operating method before the final specification is accepted.

When twin heads can help

Two weighing lanes can support a higher combined output or two coordinated discharges, but the downstream pack handling must be able to receive the doses. Confirm whether lanes run independently, alternately or into separate packs, and how faults or product starvation on one side affect the line.

Trial record

Record each lane separately as well as the combined line result. Include weight data, giveaway, refill behaviour, operator handling, pack presentation, stops and cleaning or changeover time.

Project inputs

Send product, bag and line details.

  • Representative product and bulk density if known
  • Target weight range and tolerance
  • Bag or container opening and support method
  • Required combined output
  • Feed system, sealing and downstream equipment

Twin-lane acceptance

Assess each weighing lane separately before accepting the combined output.

A combined bags-per-minute figure can hide a lane that feeds, weighs or recovers differently from the other. The trial should identify lane-specific results and then confirm how the two lanes behave together through the downstream pack process.

Record lane A and lane B independently.

For each lane record target, mean, minimum, maximum, variation, giveaway, rejects, refill behaviour and achieved cycle time. Compare the feeder settings and product level so a difference between lanes can be traced rather than averaged away.

Test starvation and recovery.

Pause the upstream supply to one lane and confirm whether the other lane continues, slows or is inhibited. The control philosophy should state how an uncompleted dose, a full hopper or a downstream stop is handled.

Confirm the downstream receiving cycle.

Define whether the two lanes feed separate packs, alternate into one pack system or discharge into another coordinated process. Verify that the receiving machine can accept the intended sequence without double filling, waiting for a dose or losing pack tracking.

Include changeover and cleaning evidence.

Check access to both product paths, identification of lane-specific parts, residual product, setup confirmation and the first acceptable fills after restart.

Lane-by-lane trial

Send the required combined output and the intended receiving process.

Include the product, target weights, pack openings, lane sequence and fault-handling expectations.
