For food factories processing sticky, viscous, or irregular products—like capers, fresh meat chunks, mustard, or pickles—weighing has always been a headache. Traditional combination weighers struggle with product sticking to hoppers (causing underweight packs and cleaning delays), while manual weighing can’t keep up with production speed and wastes raw materials. But UUPAC's Dimple 14 Head Computer Combination Weigher is designed to solve these pain points. This blog dives into its sticky-product-specific design, core features, real-world applications, and why it's a must-have for food manufacturers dealing with hard-to-handle materials.

 

What Is a Dimple 14 Head Computer Combination Weigher?

    UUPAC's Dimple 14 Head Computer Combination Weigher is a specialized automated weighing system built for irregular, poorly fluid, and sticky food products. Unlike standard 14-head weighers, it features a unique "dimple" scraper hopper design (1.3L capacity per hopper) that prevents sticky materials from adhering to surfaces. Paired with 14 independent, computer-controlled weighing heads and a high-precision control system (MCU/Siemens PLC), it delivers fast, accurate quantitative weighing—even for products that typically clog or stick to regular equipment.

 

    With a weighing range of 5-600g per batch and ±0.1g accuracy, it's ideal for small-to-medium production lines (up to 60 packs per minute) that process sticky foods, balancing efficiency with the precision needed to avoid waste and meet quality standards.

 

Why It's a Major Improvement for Sticky Food Processing?

    Sticky products like fresh meat, mustard, or pickles demand three key capabilities from a weigher: anti-stick performance, easy cleaning, and stable accuracy. The Dimple 14 Head Computer Combination Weigher checks all three boxes—here's how:

1. Dimple Scraper Hoppers: No More Sticking or Clogging

    The biggest innovation of this weigher is its 1.3L dimple scraper hoppers. The hoppers feature a textured "dimple" surface and built-in scraper mechanisms that reduce contact area between sticky products and hopper walls (preventing mustard, fresh meat, or capers from clinging), and automatically scrape residual material during each weighing cycle—ensuring no leftover product affects the next batch's accuracy.

    A pickle factory in Shandong previously used a standard 14-head weigher and spent 2 hours per shift manually scraping hoppers to remove stuck pickles. After switching to UUPAC's dimple hopper model, cleaning time dropped to 20 minutes per shift—freeing up labor for other tasks and cutting downtime by 30%.

 

2. IP65 Waterproof Design: Easy Cleaning for Food Safety

    Sticky food processing lines require frequent cleaning to meet hygiene standards (e.g., HACCP, FDA). This weigher's IP65 waterproof rating means all critical components (including the control panel and load cells) resist water and chemical cleaners. Plus, it has a "one-key clean function" that keeps all hoppers open—no need to disassemble parts to reach hard-to-clean areas.

    For a fresh meat processing plant, this translates to faster cleaning cycles (30 minutes instead of 1 hour), no risk of water damage to internal electronics (a common issue with non-waterproof weighers), and compliance with strict food safety regulations—avoiding costly audits or recalls.

 

3. ±0.1g Accuracy: Cut Waste & Avoid Customer Complaints

    Sticky products are prone to uneven weighing—too little and you risk regulatory fines; too much and you waste expensive ingredients (like fresh cuts of meat or imported capers). The Dimple 14 Head Computer Combination Weigher uses two key technologies to maintain precision: special high-standard load cells that detect even tiny weight variations (down to 0.1g) to ensure each batch hits the target weight, and a professional A/D card that converts weight data into digital signals quickly and stably—avoiding errors caused by product stickiness or vibration.

  

Ideal Applications: Which Sticky Foods Work Best?

    This weigher is tailored to food products that challenge standard weighers. For capers (pickled) with a target weight range of 10g–30g, it reaches 55–60 packs per minute, and its dimple hoppers prevent brine-induced sticking. For fresh meat chunks (50g–200g), it operates at 40–50 packs per minute, with the IP65 waterproof design handling meat juices effectively. Mustard (paste) in 5g–50g portions sees speeds of 50–55 packs per minute, thanks to high-precision load cells that avoid overpacking. Pickles (sliced or whole) in 30g–100g batches run at 45–50 packs per minute, and the scraper mechanism eliminates residual pickles. Even powdered sugar (prone to clumping) in 15g–80g amounts hits 50–60 packs per minute, as anti-noise PVC parts reduce clump-related errors.

 

Why Choose UUPAC's Dimple 14 Head Computer Combination Weigher?

    Beyond its sticky-product design, UUPAC adds value with practical perks that save time and money. It's ready in stock—no waiting for production; order today and ship from Shanghai, Ningbo, or Guangzhou ports within 3 days. The modular electronic system means if a part needs replacing (e.g., a hopper or sensor), costs stay low and downtime is short (usually under 4 hours). The HMI lets you set different access levels (e.g., operators can't change weight parameters), preventing human error. Plus, UUPAC sends technicians to your factory to train your team on operation and cleaning—no extra fees.

 

Conclusion

    If your food factory struggles with weighing sticky, irregular products, UUPAC's Dimple 14 Head Computer Combination Weigher isn't just an upgrade—it's a solution to cut waste, speed up production, and stay compliant.

    Powdered products—from daily staples like flour and milk powder to industrial materials like pesticides and dyes—present unique packaging challenges: they're prone to flying, easy to absorb moisture, and require strict weighing accuracy to avoid waste or quality issues. For businesses, choosing a reliable fully automatic powder weighing & packing machine isn't just about buying equipment—it's about securing a stable production line, reducing costs, and ensuring product consistency.​

   

    Anhui UUPAC Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., a China-based manufacturer specializing in packaging solutions, has designed a Fully Automatic Intelligent Powder Weighing & Packing Machine that addresses these pain points. Below, we'll break down the key factors to consider when selecting such equipment, and how UUPAC's solution aligns with these needs.

 

• Key Factors to Choose a Reliable Powder Weighing & Packing Machine​

Factor 1: Material Compatibility – Can It Handle Your Specific Powder?​

    The first question to ask is: Does the machine fit the type of powder I need to package? Different powders have varying properties—flour is fine and easy to fly, milk powder is hygroscopic, and pesticide powder requires anti-corrosion design. A reliable machine should cover multiple scenarios without compromising performance.​

UUPAC's machine excels here: it's engineered for quantitative weighing and packaging of over 20 types of powdered products, including:​

• Food-grade powders: Flour, milk powder, cocoa powder, solid beverage mixes, granulated sugar, MSG.​
• Agricultural/feed powders: Feed stuff, glucose (for livestock).​
• Industrial/chemical powders: Veterinary drugs, powdered additives, toner powder, talcum powder, pesticides, dyes, flavors, and fragrances.​

This versatility means businesses don't need to invest in separate machines for different product lines—saving space and budget.

 

Factor 2: Weighing & Filling Accuracy – The Core of Powder Packaging​

    For powdered products, even a tiny deviation in weight can lead to customer complaints (e.g., underfilled milk powder) or significant waste (e.g., overfilled flour). High accuracy is non-negotiable, and it depends on the machine's core components.​

 

UUPAC ensures precision through thoughtful design:​

• Servo Motor-Driven Screw: The filling system uses a servo motor to control the screw conveyor, which enables accurate positioning, fast speed, and adjustable RPM. Unlike traditional motors, servo motors reduce vibration and ensure consistent filling volume, even for fine powders.​
• Exquisite Screw Workmanship: The screw (the part that transports powder) is precision-machined to avoid powder accumulation or blockage. This not only maintains accuracy but also reduces cleaning time.​
• Auger Filter & Easy-Clean Silo: The machine is equipped with an auger filter to prevent foreign particles from mixing into the product, while the storage silo is designed for easy disassembly and cleaning—critical for food-grade or pharmaceutical powders that require strict hygiene.​

 

Factor 3: Automation & Intelligence – Reduce Labor and Waste​

    Fully automatic doesn't just mean "no manual packing"—it means the machine can self-monitor and avoid errors to cut unnecessary costs. A smart machine should minimize material waste and labor intervention.​

 

UUPAC's machine integrates practical intelligent functions:​

• Automatic Error Detection: If the packaging bag is not opened or not fully opened, the machine will stop feeding and heat sealing immediately. This prevents powder from being dumped onto the production line (reducing waste) and avoids sealing empty or incomplete bags (saving film and labor for rework).​
• Full-System Automation: The entire line combines a Vertical Form-Fill-Seal (VFFS) machine, screw conveyor, and auger filter—no need for manual transfer of powder or bags.

 

• UUPAC's Solution: More Than a Machine, a Complete Packaging Partner​

    Choosing UUPAC isn't just about buying a powder weighing & packing machine—it's about getting a one-stop solution tailored to your production needs. Here's what else sets UUPAC apart:​

• Ready-to-Ship & Flexible Ordering​

• MOQ = 1 Unit: Whether you're a small bakery or a large food factory, you can order a single machine to test or scale up.​
• Convenient Logistics: Shipping ports include Shanghai, Ningbo, and Guangzhou—easy access to global markets, with support for custom logistics solutions.​

 

• Comprehensive Supporting Equipment​

    UUPAC doesn't stop at powder packing machines. It offers a full range of supporting equipment to build a seamless production line:​

• Conveying Equipment: Screw conveyors (ideal for powders), Z-bucket conveyors, and finished product conveyors.​
• Detection Equipment: Check weighers (to verify final product weight), metal detectors, and X-ray detectors (for food safety compliance).​
• Multihead Weighers: 10-head, 14-head, 20-head, or 32-head options for granular or irregular products (e.g., nuts, candies)—perfect if you expand beyond powders later.​

 

• Conclusion: UUPAC–Your Reliable Partner for Powder Packaging​

    When choosing a fully automatic powder weighing & packing machine, don't just look at price—focus on compatibility, accuracy, automation, and stability. UUPAC's machine checks all these boxes, with the added benefits of versatility, fast delivery, and global support. ​Whether you're packaging flour for a local bakery, milk powder for a dairy brand, or pesticides for an agricultural company, UUPAC's solution is designed to grow with your business.​

    For manufacturers dealing with granular, irregular, or small-batch products—from nuts and candies to hardware fasteners and frozen dumplings—production bottlenecks often hide in the gap between weighing and packing. Traditional separate processes (e.g., manual weighing + semi-automatic packing) lead to slow throughput, inconsistent weights, and wasted labor. But a well-designed high-speed weighing and packing system, like UUPAC's Typical Weighing Packing Checking & Detecting Solution, integrates these steps into a seamless workflow. This guide breaks down how such systems boost output, their key components, real-world applications, and how to choose the right one for your production line.

 

1. First: What Products Benefit Most from UUPAC's System?

    A high-speed weighing and packing system isn't a "one-size-fits-all" tool—it shines when paired with products that demand speed and precision. UUPAC's solution is tailored to 4 core product categories, covering most high-volume production needs:

 

• Snacks & Dried Foods: Nuts (walnuts, almonds, pistachios), dried fruits (blueberries, red dates, raisins), candies, popcorn, potato chips, and pasta. These products often require gentle handling (to avoid breakage) and precise portioning (to cut overpack waste).
• Pet Food: Granular or small-bite pet food, where consistency in each pack ensures customer trust and reduces material costs.
• Frozen Foods: Dumplings, chicken wings, glutinous rice balls, and beef balls. The system's stable operation handles cold, slightly sticky frozen products without jams.
• Hardware & Plastics: Small metal items (nails, bolts, screws, rivets) and plastic particles. These products need accurate counting + weighing to avoid underpacking (which risks returns) or overpacking (which wastes materials).

 

    This wide applicability means you won't need separate systems for different product lines—one UUPAC setup can switch between snacks and hardware with simple adjustments.

 

2. 3 Core Ways UUPAC's System Maximizes Your Output

    The goal of a high-speed weighing and packing system is to eliminate delays, reduce errors, and keep your line running smoothly. UUPAC's solution achieves this with 3 design-driven advantages:

① Fully Coordinated Automatic Control (No More "Wait Time")

    Traditional lines often have mismatched speeds: a weigher that can handle 60 packs/min paired with a packager that does 80 packs/min, or vice versa—creating backlogs. UUPAC's system uses centralized control to sync every step:

It starts with auto-feeding (via the Z-type bucket conveyor) that adjusts to the weigher's speed, so there's no product shortage or overflow.

If no packaging bags are detected, the system pauses filling and sealing automatically ("no bags, no fill")—avoiding product spills and rework.

 

② Stable Operation + Low Energy Use (Less Downtime)

Downtime kills output. UUPAC's system minimizes stops with:

• A balanced working platform: The design keeps the weigher, packager, and conveyors aligned, reducing vibration that causes jams or inaccurate weights. This stability means the system can run 8+ hours continuously without manual adjustments.
• Energy-efficient components: The system uses only as much power as needed (e.g., slowing feeders when the weigher's hoppers are full), cutting electricity costs by 15% compared to older, less efficient setups. 

 

③ Wide Weighing Range + High Accuracy (No Wasted Product)

    Output isn't just about speed—it's about producing sellable packs. UUPAC's system uses a 10/14 Head Computer Weigher (the core of the setup) to deliver:

• A large weighing range: It handles small portions (e.g., 5g of candy) to larger batches (e.g., 500g of whole grains), so you don't need a separate weigher for different pack sizes.
• Precise weighing: The multi-head design combines weights from independent hoppers to hit target weights with minimal error, reducing overpack waste.

 

3. Breakdown of UUPAC's System Components (What Makes It Work)

    UUPAC's Typical Weighing Packing System is built from 5 essential units (plus 2 optional detectors) that work together to maximize efficiency. Each part has a clear role in keeping the line moving, and their coordination ensures no bottlenecks:

① Z-type Bucket Conveyor

② 10/14 Head Computer Weigher

③ Working Platform

④ VFFS (Vertical Form-Fill-Seal Machine)

⑤ Finished Product Conveyor

⑥ Optional Automatic Check Weigher

⑦ Optional Metal Detector/X-Ray Detector

 

Conclusion

    A high-speed weighing and packing system isn't just an equipment upgrade—it's an investment in higher output, lower waste, and less stress. UUPAC's Typical Weighing Packing System stands out because it's designed for real-world production needs: wide product compatibility, stable operation, and flexible components that grow with your business.

    For manufacturers working with mixed materials—whether oatmeal blends, mixed nuts, or small-batch coffee-bean combinations—finding a reliable high accuracy 20 head computer weigher supplier means partnering with someone who solves your unique mixing-related pain points. Generic weighers often struggle with inconsistent accuracy (due to material density differences) or clunky integration (needing extra pre-mixing steps). A true supplier should deliver solutions tailored to these challenges, not just sell equipment. UUPAC's High Speed Mixing 20 Head 1.6/2.5L Combination Weigher is designed to fit mixed material workflows. Below's what to expect from a supplier that prioritizes your production needs—and how this model aligns with those expectations.

 

1. Verifiable High Accuracy, Tailored to Mixed Materials

    A reliable supplier won't just list "high accuracy" as a feature—they'll tie it to the real-world challenges of mixed materials (e.g., varying particle sizes, density differences). You should expect:

 

• Clear, application-specific accuracy metrics: For mixed products, the weigher should maintain consistent precision across different blends. This model offers ±0.1g accuracy and a 0.1g minimum scale interval, working for small batches (5g seed mixes) up to larger ones (1500g for 1.6L hoppers, 2000g for 2.5L hoppers). Before delivery, it's tested with common mixed materials (like 30% almond + 70% walnut blends) to ensure batches stay within tolerance.
• Adjustments for material variability: Mixed batches often have slight differences in particle distribution (e.g., one batch with more small nuts, another with more large ones). This weigher includes automatic compensation—using data from recent batches to tweak weights, helping avoid overpacking or underpacking.

 

2. Design That Fits Mixed Material Workflows

A true supplier's weigher should adapt to how you work, not force you to rework your process. Key features to look for include:

 

• Dual-compartment upper funnels: Loading two materials (e.g., oats and dried fruit) at once eliminates the need for pre-mixing before weighing—saving a step and reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
• Flexible hopper capacities: Choosing between 1.6L (for smaller, denser mixes like coffee-bean blends) or 2.5L (for bulkier mixes like oatmeal + nuts) means you don't have to deal with spills from undersized hoppers or wasted space from oversized ones.
• Switchable discharge chutes: If you use twin packaging machines for higher volume, the chute can switch between single and double without tools—helping you pair one weigher with two packagers to boost output.

 

3. Speed That Works With, Not Against, Stability

    High-volume mixed material production needs speed—but not at the cost of breakdowns or inaccurate batches. A quality supplier will balance both:

 

• Consistent speed for mixed loads: This model hits 140 packs per minute, which works for mid-to-high-volume lines (e.g., a breakfast cereal factory making 84,000 mixed oatmeal packs in a 10-hour shift). It uses staggered discharge to avoid bottlenecks, even when handling materials with different flow rates.
• Vibration and load cell stability: Mixed materials (like light oats and heavy nuts) can cause uneven flow. The weigher has separate vibrators to control each material layer's thickness, and an integral frame to reduce vibration that throws off weights. This helps keep accuracy consistent, even at full speed.
• Durability for daily use: Parts touching materials are food-grade stainless steel, and the design minimizes mechanical wear—so it can run 8+ hours a day, fitting long production shifts.

 

4. Transparent Value, Not Just Upfront Cost

    A trustworthy supplier will help you understand long-term costs, not just quote a low price. Look for:

 

• Low maintenance hassle: Modular parts mean if a hopper or sensor needs replacing, you only swap the faulty piece (not the whole head). The 10-inch touchscreen is intuitive, so your team can learn to operate and calibrate it quickly—cutting training time.
• Energy efficiency: It uses smart power management (idle heads shut down automatically) and a 220V, 50/60Hz supply, which helps reduce electricity use compared to older models—saving on long-term utility costs.

 

Conclusion

    A true high accuracy 20 head computer weigher supplier focuses on solving your problems—whether that's inconsistent mixed material weights, extra production steps, or unexpected maintenance costs. UUPAC's High Speed Mixing 20 Head 1.6/2.5L Combination Weigher is built to address these pain points, with features that fit mixed material workflows and support that extends beyond purchase.
