CombiScale Inc. launches the next generation of multi-head weighers.

The third generation of multi-head weighers, the HD3 model, is available in 12 and 14 head 2.5L bucket configurations and are 30% faster than previous models. The HD3 now accommodates a maximum weight of 66 lbs (30 kg) compared to 7 lbs. (3.2kg) on the previous model.

Featuring individual microprocessors that increase speed up to 150 cycles per minute, the HD3 uses a staggered dump delay, which reduces large pieces of product getting stuck in the VFFS forming tube and increases the product pass rate to 99.5%. The product is also discharged faster; thus, increasing production speeds. Product waste is then decreased due to the overlapping closure of the clamshell buckets.

The HD3 model weighs the product; then selects the best combination of buckets to achieve the predetermined weight. The memorized calibration value featured in the HD3 also eliminates the need to use dead weights to recalibrate the load cells. Another unique feature of this model is its ability to run two products to be weighed at the same time. All of these features generate accuracy within 1 gram (0.04 oz), allowing these combination scales to reduce product variations and significantly improve production output. Equipped with a new, easy to operate, 10.4" touch screen and operating software; the HD3 CombiScale is able to create a greater number of weight combinations to achieve the desired target weight.
