Automated Jelly Cup, Triangle Jelly Bags Counting Multihead Weigher VFFS Packing Machine for Secondary Packaging

This machine offers precise counting through advanced weighing, high-speed automated bagging, and a smart system that adapts to product variations.

This means you get the exact number of pieces in every bag, reduce product giveaway, and increase your overall production output. It is built for reliability and long-term accuracy.

This system’s intelligence lies in its multihead weigher, which performs highly accurate counting not by counting one by one, but through a sophisticated process of weighing, algorithms, and calibration. This “counting by weight” method is faster and more reliable than traditional counting. Here’s a step-by-step look at how it achieves such high precision:

1. Establishing the “Golden” Weight: First, the system needs to learn the standard weight of a single product. In “counting mode,” it performs a reference weight calibration. We place a sample number of jelly cups on the weigher, and it calculates the average weight of a single piece. This average becomes the baseline, and the system establishes an acceptable weight tolerance (e.g., ± a small amount) around it. This step is the foundation for all future accuracy.

2. Parallel Weighing and Combination: The weigher has multiple weighing hoppers (e.g., 14 or 20). Products are distributed into these hoppers. The system weighs the contents of each hopper simultaneously and uses the reference weight to instantly calculate the approximate number of pieces in each one. Then, its powerful combination algorithm finds the perfect group of hoppers that, when combined, adds up to the exact target piece count (e.g., 20 pieces). This selected combination is then released into the VFFS machine. This parallel process is what makes it incredibly fast.

3. Dual Verification for Quality Control: A smart counting system doesn’t just rely on the piece count. It uses a dual verification check before releasing any product. It asks two questions:

   • Count Check: Does the combination equal the target piece count?
   • Weight Check: Is the total weight of this combination within a reasonable, pre-set range? If a combination fails either check, the system instantly discards it and calculates a new one. This ensures you never have a bag that is correct in count but wrong in weight.

4. Adaptive Self-Learning: In the real world, not all jelly cups weigh exactly the same. Temperature and humidity can also cause slight weight changes. Advanced weighers have an adaptive learning function. The system continuously monitors weight trends and dynamically adjusts the single-piece reference weight to compensate for these small variations. This ensures the counting accuracy remains high and stable throughout long production runs, without needing constant manual recalibration.

Understanding the nuances of counting by weight is key to appreciating this technology. These answers address the most common concerns from production managers.

Q1: Is this “counting by weight” really as accurate as counting each piece?
A1: Yes, and in a high-speed production environment, it is often more reliable. Traditional one-by-one counters can jam or misfeed, leading to errors. Our system’s combination of precise weighing, dual verification, and self-learning algorithms consistently achieves the correct piece count at much higher speeds. It avoids the mechanical errors associated with single-file counting.

Q2: What happens if some of my jelly cups are slightly heavier or lighter than others?
A2: This is exactly what the system is designed to handle. The initial calibration sets a weight tolerance, so the machine knows the acceptable weight range for a single piece. The dual verification system then ensures the final total weight of the group is also within an acceptable range. Finally, the adaptive learning feature will notice if the average weight starts to shift and will automatically adjust its calculations to maintain accuracy.

Q3: Can I use this machine for other products besides jelly cups?
A3: Absolutely. This system is ideal for secondary packaging of any small, individually wrapped, or uniform items. It works perfectly for hard candies, small chocolate bars, single-serve biscuit packs, hardware items like nuts and bolts, and many other products where you need a specific number of items in a larger master bag.
