This kind of machine is made of 2 parts, a dosing device +packing machine, we will assemble different kinds of dosing devices and packing machines according to the size of your exact spare part, the weight or quantity range per bag /box, capacity requirement, accuracy requirement, the package style like the pouch, box, carton, fully automatic or semi-automatic, so let me know your this information and requirement so we can introduce the machine for you.

First, do you prefer to counter machine or a weigher machine?

Normally the counter machine has a high accuracy (1/1000 according to quantity ) and can mix different kinds of parts into the same bag, but the disadvantage is that the speed is slower, and the output speed of the vibrating hopper is 100~300 pcs/min.

The weigher is faster about 10~30 bags/min if the quantity is 20~10000 pcs or the weight range is 20 ~10000g, one machine can weigh and pack different kinds of small parts, the disadvantage is that there will be about 1~3 pcs more per bag, unable to mix different parts into bag.

There is another counter machine with a camera as your other choice. High accuracy 1/10000~2/1000 according to different parts, speed is about 5~15 bag/min if quantity is 20~10000 pcs, the same machine can pack different kinds of parts at different times, cost higher than a normal counter machine.

If you choose a normal counter machine, the quantity of hopper you need is according to how many different kinds of parts you want to pack in the same bag. For example, if 7 different kinds of parts like screw nut bolt washers then you have to use 7 hoppers, if you have different mix options then we need to check if it’s able to pack with the same machine or add more hoppers.

If you choose the weighing machine, there is a linear weigher, 10-head multi-head weigher, and single hopper weigher according to your speed requirement.

If you choose the counter machine with a camera, there is a small middle bigger model according to your quantity range and speed requirement as well as the size of your part.
