Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the difference between 16-head, 18-head, and 24-head weighers?
The number of heads affects weighing speed and accuracy. More heads = faster speed and better combination probability. The 24-head weigher (KB-A24) handles 60–75 weighments per minute with the highest accuracy potential, ideal for high-volume snack and nut packaging. The 18-head handles 180 weighments per minute, suitable for medium-high volume. The 16-head is optimized for three-layer precision weighing at 100×2 combinations per minute.
2. What is the maximum speed of the 24-head combination weigher?
The KB-A24 delivers up to 60×4/75×3 weighments per minute depending on your target weight setting. Higher target weights and simpler product shapes allow faster speeds. The modular CAN bus architecture ensures synchronized operation across all 24 heads for consistent performance.
3. What weighing range does the 24-head weigher support?
The KB-A24 handles a weighing range of 12–1000g with X(0.5) accuracy class. The 0.5L hopper volume is optimized for small-to-medium portion sizes, making it ideal for snack packs, nut servings, and candy portions.
4. Can the 24-head weigher handle pharmaceutical products?
Yes. The KB-A24 is GMP-ready and suitable for pharmaceutical applications including capsules, tablets, and granular medication forms. Food-grade stainless steel contact parts are available for pharmaceutical compliance. Consult with Keypack for specific pharmaceutical certification requirements.
5. How does the 24-head weigher integrate with packaging machines?
The KB-A24 uses Modbus industrial communication protocol for seamless integration with VFFS machines, pre-made pouch packaging machines, and other packaging equipment. The unified control interface connects directly to your packaging machine’s PLC system, combining both weigher and packer controls into one touchscreen.
