Multihead Weigher component - smooth hopper

As a high-precision mechanical equipment, each component of which plays a very important role, and the hopper plays a very key role in the Multihead Weigher. The hopper can be a temporary storage container for materials in multiple scales, because when the materials are transported from the feeding device, they will first enter the hopper for temporary storage; It can also be the distribution center of materials, generally with multiple hoppers, the material can be distributed to different weighing units or packaging processes through the hopper, and the material can also be distributed to different channels for weighing and packaging in different proportions; It can also be the basis for quantitative feeding. The Multihead Weigher Working Principle is to achieve accurate weight measurement through multiple hopper combinations, so the material in the hopper can be accurately released or retained according to the set weight requirements.

Therefore, the choice of hopper is also very important, how to choose between smooth hopper and rough hopper? The following describes the three main aspects of smooth hoppers: material flow, cleaning and maintenance, and durability.

Material fluidity  

When the material has good flow, the smooth hopper shows a unique advantage. Its inner wall is as smooth as a mirror, providing an excellent transmission channel for materials with small particles and regular shapes and good fluidity. For example, salt or white sugar, which are common in daily life, can slide quickly and smoothly in the smooth hopper. This efficient material flow characteristic greatly improves the overall work efficiency of the multi-head scale, reduces the residence time of the material in the hopper, and enables the weighing and packaging process to operate at high speed.

Cleaning and maintenance

Smooth hopper has obvious convenience in cleaning and maintenance. Its smooth surface is free of complex gaps and depressions, making it difficult for dirt and residual materials to hide. When the production task is completed, after the work is completed, the detergent is washed with water, and the hopper can be cleaned.

For example, in the food processing industry, when a batch of sugar-containing or salt-containing products are produced, the smooth hopper can be washed with a high-pressure water gun, which can immediately restore the hopper to a clean state, greatly saving the time and labor costs required for cleaning.

Degree of durability

Smooth hopper from the durability point of view of long-term use, smooth hopper performs well. During the continuous flow of material in and out of the hopper, its uniform inner wall is subjected to relatively little wear. Because the impact force and friction generated when the material slides on the smooth surface are more evenly distributed, it is not easy to cause local excessive loss. In multi-head weighing equipment with high degree of automation and heavy production tasks, the smooth hopper can run stably for a long time, effectively reducing the number of Multi Head Packing Machine downtime and maintenance and replacement frequency caused by hopper damage.
