Automated Counting Multihead Weigher and Bagging Line for Secondary Packaging

The counting-by-weight weigher avoids jams and miscounts that plague single-file counters. Paired with a robust VFFS machine, it creates a seamless, automated workflow from individual items to sealed master bags.

Description

Tired of slow, inaccurate manual counting for your bulk packs? This automated line counts and bags small items at high speed, saving you labor and reducing product giveaway.

This system uses an advanced counting-by-weight multihead weigher to group exact quantities of small items. A vertical form fill seal (VFFS) machine then automatically bags them into larger master packs.

Unlike traditional counters that jam and miscount, our counting-by-weight method is faster and more reliable, especially for tricky products. Let’s see how this automated line transforms your secondary packaging process.

Application: mini pouches, premium wrapped snacks (bars, chocolate candies), jelly cups, triangle jelly bags, and other small, uniform items that require counting into a master bag.

Bag Style: Pillow bag, Gusset bag.

Line flow: Infeed → Counting Multihead Weigher → VFFS forming/filling/sealing → Date/Lot code → Metal Detector / X-ray → Checkweigher & reject → Case packing → Palletizing

Core Features

A) Multihead Weigher with Counting Function (Counting-by-Weight)

Key benefits

  • High accuracy piece count with counting-by-weight + verification logic

  • Fast output because multiple hoppers weigh in parallel and the algorithm selects the best combination instantly

  • Lower giveaway vs systems prone to +/- piece errors, especially when piece weight varies

How it works (factory-friendly explanation)

  1. Reference calibration: calculate average single-piece weight (baseline)

  2. Parallel weighing + combination algorithm: choose hopper combination that matches the target count

  3. Dual verification: count check + total weight check before discharge

  4. Adaptive self-learning: auto-adjusts to small weight drift during long runs

B) VFFS (Vertical Form Fill Seal) Packing Machine

  • Bag forming + filling + sealing into pillow or gusset master bags

  • Built to run with counted discharge from the weigher for stable secondary packaging output

FAQ

Q1: What this line does? 
A1: This is a complete secondary packaging solution: it takes individual small packs (like jelly cups / triangle jelly bags / mini wrapped snacks), counts the exact quantity using a multihead weigher with counting function, then forms–fills–seals them into a larger master bag for bulk sales or distribution.

Q2: Why is “counting-by-weight” better than a traditional optical counter?
A2: Traditional counters rely on products passing a sensor one-by-one in a single file. This often leads to miscounts when products bounce, overlap, or stick together. Our counting-by-weight method weighs multiple items at once and uses an algorithm to achieve the target count, making it faster and far more accurate for products that are not perfectly uniform.

Q3: What happens if the weight of my individual items varies slightly?
A3: The system is designed for this. The weigher’s software includes a self-learning function that continuously calculates the average single-piece weight during the production run. This allows it to adapt to small drifts in weight, ensuring the final piece count in each bag remains accurate over time.

Q4: Is this a complete, all-in-one solution?
A4: Yes, we provide a complete, turnkey line. Beyond the core counting weigher and VFFS machine, we design and integrate the entire workflow. This includes the infeed system to properly feed your products, and any downstream equipment you need, such as checkweighers, metal detectors, and robotic case packers.
