70 vs 120 BPM: Is Your Packaging Line Keeping Up with Your Ambitions?

Comparison and Introduction of 10-Head and 14-Head Multihead Weighers

The TOUPACK Multihead Weigher Series represents a high-speed, high-accuracy automatic weighing solution. By utilizing an advanced MCU control system, these weighers provide stable performance and expandable functionality to meet diverse customer requirements.

10-Head vs 14-Head: Key Comparison

Choosing between a 10-head and 14-head weigher depends on your production speed requirements and target weight precision. Below is a detailed breakdown based on the technical specifications.

Technical Performance Table

Advantages Analysis

14-Head Multihead Weigher Benefits:

Superior Efficiency: Reaches speeds up to 120 WPM, making it ideal for high-speed industrial packaging lines.

Higher Accuracy: With 14 weighing hoppers available, the computer has significantly more combinations to choose from, ensuring the final discharge is closer to the target weight.

Heavy-Duty Capability: Certain models support a weighing hopper volume of up to 5,000mL, allowing for the handling of large-volume or heavy products.

10-Head Multihead Weigher Benefits: Energy Efficiency: Operates at a lower power consumption of 1.5 KW.

Space-Saving Design: Features a more compact footprint and lighter weight, suitable for facilities with limited space.

Cost-Effective: Offers a professional weighing solution with lower initial investment and simplified maintenance for standard production needs.

Potential Limitations

14-Head: Requires more floor space and carries a higher structural weight (up to 933kg for certain configurations), necessitating a solid, vibration-free ground.

10-Head: Maximum speed is capped at 70 WPM, which may not satisfy the requirements of ultra-high-speed production environments.

Advanced Core Technologies

Both the 10-head and 14-head models are equipped with intelligent features to optimize production:

Versatile Feeding Modes: Supports "Vibrating" for easy-flowing materials and "Rotary" for hard-flowing granular products to ensure consistent feeding.

AFC (Auto-Amplitude Control): AFCT Mode: Automatically adjusts all linear vibrator amplitudes based on the combination of hoppers.

AFCI Mode: Adjusts individual linear amplitudes based on single hopper weight for maximum precision.

Forced Combination (IDLE Feature): If a specific hopper remains unselected for a duration exceeding the preset "IDLE: No Times," the system will forcibly include it in a combination.

Hopper Utilization: This mandatory selection prevents specific hoppers from idling, significantly improving the overall usage rate of the weighing units.

Customizable Parameters: The idle threshold is adjustable within a range of 1–9999, with a manufacturer-recommended value of 100 cycles to maintain optimal performance.

Real-time Diagnostics: The HMI provides color-coded status indicators (e.g., Green for ready, Orange for over-target weight) to allow operators to troubleshoot instantly.

Summary

For high-volume, high-speed operations requiring maximum precision, the 14-Head TY-ZHY142M is the recommended choice. For medium-scale operations where space and energy efficiency are priorities, the 10-Head TY-ZHY102M provides an excellent balance of performance and value.
