View routeBuyer question
What fill weight can a weigh filler handle?
Fill weight range is one of the first details needed when choosing a weighing and dosing route.
Planning the right weigh filling route
Different weigh fillers handle different dose ranges. Small sachets, retail pouches, jars, tubs and larger bags can require different feeder, hopper and discharge arrangements.
For buyers, the important point is that a weigh filler is part of a complete packing route. Product feed, discharge, pack presentation, closing, checking and operator access can all affect whether the machine works well in production.
Lancing can help compare the main options before a quotation is prepared, using the product, target fill weight, pack format and output expectation as the starting point.
Key buying checks
- Send product samples or clear product behaviour details.
- Confirm target weight range and tolerance expectation.
- Include pack format, dimensions and closure method.
- Describe current process and target output.
