Manter VP16000 – 16-head multihead weigher

Used for: weighing, counting and mixing peppers with direct discharge to flowpacker

Overview

• Robust Manter weigher with 16 weighing buckets, designed for high accuracy and gentle product handling. 
• Ideal for (colour) mixes, piece counting and weight-based portions of peppers towards flowpacker.

Main features

• 16 weighing buckets for accurate combination weighing and mixing
• 3 feeding conveyors with dosing belt (frequency controlled) for constant product feed
• Moving brush above the vibrating trays for optimal singulation (fewer double layers/clogging)
• Cross discharge belt under the weighing buckets with flap for controlled release to packaging line
• Counting function via sensors above the weighing buckets (piece packaging possible)
• Flowpacker-ready: stable, even product flow

Modes & functionality

• Quick changeover between customer orders and packaging types

Practical advantages

• Gentle handling of peppers due to even distribution and brush singulation
• High line stability towards flowpacker due to cross discharge and controlled drops 
•  Flexible: quick change between weighing, counting and mixing without conversion 
•  Less waste & give-away thanks to frequency control and sensor counting

Operational indications

• Capacity: depending on target weight, piece size and desired presentation (on request)
• Accuracy: suitable for retail portions and piece packaging (calibration recommended per product batch)

Maintenance & hygiene

• Daily: clean vibrating trays/brush, visual check of weighing buckets/flaps
• Weekly: check belt tension, bearings, vibrating parts; clean sensors 
•  Periodically: calibrate load cells, inspect flap mechanisms and brush drive
