3. Working Principle
3.1 Feeding Products

Fig. 3—1—1

Products to be weighed are firstly delivered by Conveyor and fed into the Infeed Funnel. Then it can be
dispersed to Linear Feeders from the vibrating Top Cone controlled by programs. The products flow
thickness can be changed by adjusting the height of the Infeed Funnel. As shown in Fig.3—1—1.

-8-
 Multihead Weigher Instruction Manual
3.2 Weighing Products

Fig. 3—2—1

Products are distributed evenly into each Linear Feeder Pan, stored in Feeding Bucket. Then the
products are previous weighed in Weighing Bucket and cleaned out. After that, products in Feeding
Buckets can be fed into Weighing Buckets to prepare for a next combination. As show in Fig. 3-2-1.

3.3 Collecting Products

The weight values from each Weighing Bucket (Fig. 3—3—1) is added up and numerous
combinations which meet the set deviation from Target Weight are calculated out, then the closest one to
the Target Weight is selected out (Fig. 3—3—2).

1. Paramters of product weights in bucket: “AFC” , “Amplitude Of Top Cone” , “Amplitude Of Linear
Feeder”. When AFC 0: larger “Amplitude Of Top Cone” and “Amplitude Of Linear Feeder” , more
products weight in each bucket

When AFC 1: Product weight in each bucket is smaller when the QTY of buckets to be combined are
larger.

When AFC 2: Product weight in each bucket is larger when product weight in single bucket is larger.
Forced Combination: qualified rate and speed is higher when this value is larger. As shown in Fig.
3—3—2. If there is no qualified weight during the combination, and set this value “100”, if one
Weighing Bucket was not combined, it will execute “Forced Combination Release” function to make
sure the machine running well.

6.1-3-3. Collect Stay: How long will the Collecting Hopper closes the gate after it is totally opened. The
unit is ms.
6.1-3-4. Collect Delay: How long will the Collecting Hopper opens the door after the Weighing Bucket
discharges products and closes the door. The unit is ms.
6.1-3-5. Collect Mode: Choose “2”, there are four Collecting Hopper modes.
1. Set “0”, It dumps products directly. That is the products are discharged from Weighing Buckets to
Collecting Hopper, then they are discharged by Collecting Hopper.
2. Set “1”, It dumps products with weight checking function. That is the qualified weighed products are
discharged to next device. While unqualified weighed products are discharged to another channel.
3. Set “2”, It dumps products via two gates in turn. That is discharging products from one gate, when
finishing, products will be discharged from another gate.
4. Set “3”, It dumps products dependently via two gates. Either gate will be opened to discharge
products when it receive “Discharge Products” signal.
6.1-3-6. Motor Speed: You can set from 0 to 3, the smaller the value, the slower the speed. While the
larger the value, the quicker the speed.
6.1-3-7. Piece Mod: It is used for products counted by pieces.
Target Pcs: Target pieces of products.
Over Pcs: Allowed upper limit of target pieces.
Under Pcs: Allowed lower limit of target pieces.
Piece Wt: average weight of one unit product.
6.1-3-8. Hooper: Normally, every hopper should be selected. But if there is something wrong with some
hopper, and it can not be fixed temporary, you can get rid of it and keep other hoppers working.
