Combination Weigher | Multihead Weigher for Accurate Fixed-Weight Packaging
In today’s highly competitive food packaging industry, speed, accuracy, and automation are essential for improving productivity and reducing product giveaway. A Combination Weigher, also known as a Multihead Weigher, has become one of the most important pieces of equipment for manufacturers seeking accurate fixed-weight packaging solutions.
At OYDE Weighing, we specialize in intelligent weighing and packaging systems designed for seafood, poultry, frozen food, snacks, fruits, vegetables, and many other industries. Our advanced multihead weighers help businesses achieve high-speed and high-precision packaging while lowering labor costs and minimizing material waste.
What Is a Combination Weigher?
A Combination Weigher is an automatic weighing machine that uses multiple weighing heads to quickly calculate the optimal combination of product weights to achieve a target package weight. Compared with traditional manual weighing methods, a multihead weigher delivers significantly higher efficiency and accuracy.
The system is widely used in automated packaging lines for products such as:
· Frozen shrimp and seafood
· Poultry products
· Snacks and nuts
· Candy and confectionery
· Fresh and frozen vegetables
· Meat products
· Pet food
· Fruit packaging
The machine works by distributing products into multiple weighing hoppers. Intelligent software then selects the best weight combination and releases the product into the packaging machine, ensuring every bag meets the required target weight.

Key Advantages of Multihead Weighers
High Weighing Accuracy
Modern combination weighers are designed with highly sensitive load cells and intelligent calculation systems. This ensures precise weighing results and minimizes product giveaway, helping manufacturers save costs over time.
Fast Packaging Speed
Multihead weighers can perform hundreds of weighing combinations every second, making them ideal for high-volume production environments. High-speed packaging improves overall production efficiency and increases output capacity.
Reduced Product Waste
By accurately controlling package weight, businesses can reduce unnecessary overfilling. This leads to lower raw material loss and improved profitability.
Wide Product Compatibility
Combination weighers are suitable for a variety of products, including sticky, frozen, fragile, granular, and irregularly shaped materials. Different feeding and hopper designs can be customized according to product characteristics.
Easy Integration with Packaging Systems
Multihead weighers can be integrated with:
· Vertical packaging machines
· Tray packaging systems
· Checkweighers
· Metal detectors
· Labeling machines
· Conveyor systems
This creates a complete automatic packaging solution for modern food processing plants.

Applications of Combination Weighers
Seafood Processing Industry
For shrimp, fish, squid, shellfish, and frozen seafood products, accurate weight control is critical. Combination weighers help seafood processors maintain consistent package weights while improving production efficiency.
Poultry Processing Plants
Chicken wings, drumsticks, breast meat, and other poultry products often require precise fixed-weight packaging. Multihead weighers provide stable performance even in cold and humid environments.

Snack Food Packaging
Potato chips, nuts, popcorn, candies, and other snack foods benefit from the high-speed operation and gentle handling capabilities of combination weighers.
Fruit and Vegetable Packaging
Fresh fruits and vegetables require careful handling to avoid damage. Intelligent weighing systems help maintain product quality while ensuring accurate packaging.
