Chapter 4. Working Theory

The product is fed to the upper storage funnel where it is dispersed to the feed hoppers by main vibrator
pan. Each feed hopper drops the product into a weigh hopper beneath it as soon as the weigh hopper
becomes empty.

The weigher's computer determines the weight of product in each individual weigh hopper and identifies
which combination contains the weight closest to the target weight .The multihead weigher opens all the
hoppers of this combination and the product falls, via a discharge chute, into a packaging machine or,
alternatively, into a distribution system which places the product, for example, into trays. The working
principle of the multihead weigher is shown as chart4-1-1.

Note: hopper weight in green means load cell modular in good signal communication, in
red means signal communication in error.

1. Disable HP:
Disable Hopper: Press this button and then select the number key to inhibit the corresponding hopper.

Once the hopper is inhibited, will change to "D". Long press the number key again to activate the

hopper and "D" will change to . This function is mainly applied to repair the failure hopper.
2. Once Run:
Press this button and then select the number key. The selected hopper will run once with the process
of main vibrator → linear vibrator → feed hopper → weigh hopper → timing hopper. Press "M" to select
all hoppers. If you keep pressing the "FULL" button, they will run continually. Press "Once Run" again to
exit.
3. Cont. Run:
Continuous Running: Press this button and then select the number key. The selected hopper will run
continuously with the process of main vibrator → linear vibrator → feed hopper → weigh hopper → timing
hopper. Press "FULL" to select all hoppers. Press "Cont. Run" again to exit.
4. Test Run:
Press this button, Weigher will run according to present parameter without real material. In this condition,
requested signal will input and other signal can be output/input to test signal communication between
weigher and packaging machine.

Chapter 6. Trouble Shooting & Settlement

Bad Accuracy
Low Pass Rate
Fault reason Trouble shooting and Settlements
1. Adjust Amplitude or vibrating time,make AV Combi HP
as 3~5 (10head) 5~7(14head)
2. Adjust the height of uper funnel,make sure enough
1. AV Combi HP too much or too small product spreading on linear feeding pans, but prevent
over load
3. If use AFC, set AV Combi HP as 4
4. If use AFCW, set Min HP WT%: as 25
1. Feeding conveyor capacity not enough
2. Product feeding unevenly 2. Product feeding uncontiniously, adjust Starve feeding
Delay
1. Increase AV Combi HP will rise the accuracy while will
3. AV Combi HP too small
slow down the speed

Bad Accuracy
Big difference between display weight on HMI and actual weight
Fault reason Trouble shooting and Settlements
1. Airless working space
2. Weigher should be put on horizontal level, supporting
frame should be stable
1. Zero over floating,Load cell data jumping
3. Weigher should be surely grounded
4. If sticky product, auto-zero tracking time shoulbe be
reduced
1. Overweight:set Correct WT as minus
2. OverWT or UnderWT in actual weight Under weight: set Correct WT as plus
2. Recalibation
1. Increase Hopper delay time
3. Products be clamped by hopper
2. Increase Hopper open time

4. Products stick or be blocked on hopper 1. Check weighing hopper be touched by anything

hooks 2. Check any products stick in weighing hoppers

5. Parameter Setting 1. Increase Stable time

Slow speed
Fault reason Trouble shooting and Settlements
1. Increase Preset Speed
2. Adjust Stable Time, Stable Time suggest value as 100-
1. Parameter Setting 120
3. Decrease Delay Time, meanwhile make sure products
couldn’t be clamped
1. Check weigher has send ready signal but not input
2. Request Signal Input not on time
Request Signal on time
1. Products feeding not enough,products spreading
level unevenly, lead to bad combination rate
2. Linear Amplitude setting too small, Hopper of “L”
too much, lead to quantities of Average Combination
3. Dumping uncontiniously Hoppers too much
3. OverWT or UnderWT setting too small, lower
combination rate
4. Targete weight setting too large lead to bad
combination rate

Hopper Status
Symbol Meaning Trouble shooting and Settlements
R Ready
D Hopper Disabled 1. In Manual Test, set “Disable Hopper”
Failure in Unit head 1. Check power supply of Unit head control Modular; cables and
E
control Modular wires be well connected
Failure in communication
T 1. Check COM connector well connected or not
of weighing Modular
1. In case of AFC=0, decrease the “LIN AMP”. Lin AMP, make
Single hopper weight
sure products be dispersed evenly
U exceeds the target
2. In case of AFC=1,increase “Avg Comb Hps”
weight
3. In case of AFC=2, decrease the value of “Avg HP Wt%”
1. Increase “ AV Comb HP”, Increase OverWT or UnderWT
No Comb Tm be dropped 2. Adjust Amplitude, make sure single weighing hopper
Q
enforcedly weight as 25~35% of target weight, and set AV Comb HP as
3~4(10head),5~7(14head)
