1 PREFACE
Thank you for choosing Ohlson Packaging for your packaging needs. Ohlson Packaging has
been designing and manufacturing packaging equipment for more then 40 years.
The Multihead Weighing Machine is a fully automatic computerized scale specially designed
for packaging of granular materials.
This manual will help users use and maintain the equipment, it specifies the regular usage

and basic maintenance measures.
1. The machine adopts factorial theory, and chooses the closest combination to achieve the
target weight.
2. The machine is designed to weigh a variety of granular products.
1.2 NOTICE
2. Environmental requirements :
1. Temperature:-5 ~ 400C
2. Humidity:35-85%
3. Weigh bucket is extremely sensitive, do not bump or apply pressure on weigh buckets.
4. Press the CLEAN OUT key to remove any remaining product in the system
6. Power should be removed from the system prior to cleaning and maintenance.

3. Theory of Operation
Illustration 3-1-1
Product is delivered by Conveyor into the Infeed Funnel, and then distributed to the Linear
Feeders with the help of the Top Cone. Product thickness can be controlled by adjusting the
Infeed Funnel height. As shown in illustration 3-1-1.
5
3.2 PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION AND WEIGHING
Illustration 3-2-1
Product is distributed evenly into each Linear Feeder Pan and stored in the Feed Bucket.
When the weigh bucket completes the previous weighment, product in Feed Bucket transfers into
the Weigh Bucket to be weighed and combined.
3.3 COMBINATION
The computer stores the data received from each Weigh Bucket, and performs numerous
calculations, and then selects the one closest to the Target Weight.
1. Parameters of Weigh Bucket: ”AFC”, ”MF AMP”, ”LF AMP”, “TARGET NO.”, “SINGLE WT”.
(Details refer to 6.2 PROGRAM SETTING)
AFC0:The higher the settings are for the “MF AMP” (Main Feeder Amplitude) and “LF AMP”
(Linear Feeder Amplitude), the heavier the single bucket weight will be.
AFC1:Higher the “TARGET NO.”(Target Bucket Number), the lighter the single bucket
weight.
AFC2:Higher the “SINGLE WT”(Single Bucket Weight), the heavier each bucket weight.
PROGRAM SETTING)
OPTIMUM:the larger this value, the greater the accuracy . As illustrated in illustration 3-3-1,
the ”OPTIMUM” is 10, then the best combination “#3” will be selected.
ENFORCE:The larger this value, the higher the pass rate. As illustrated in illustration 3-3-2, if

combination and to be re-combined, during enforced-dump operation. This is to reduce the
deviation of unacceptable package weight.

Illustration 3-3-2
3.4 Discharging
There are two methods to discharge product to the down stream equipment:
7
1. Direct Dsicharge: Product is directly dumped from the weigh buckets though the collating
2. Timing Hopper: Product is dumped from the weigh buckets into a timing hopper. As shown in
Illustration 3-4-1
“Multi-dump”as “N”,Collection
Relevant parameter:when“Collection Funnel”is set as “1”,
Funnel will operate just one time after the Collating Funnel has dumped product for “N” times.

4.3.2 FEED BUCKET INSTALLATION
1.The feed bucket is installed just as the weigh bucket. Please refer to section 4.3.1 for
installation.
Feeder Pan: As illustration 4-3-3 shows, insert component marked “a” into the location marked
“b” and rotate the pan down into place. Move the lever to the up position to lock the pan in place.
NOTE: If pans are installed properly, they should not hit each other.

1. Before entering calibration mode be sure to empty the weigh bucket(s) to be calibrated.
2. Select “5. Calibration” from the main menu. Calibration mode is protected by password 1. Enter
password 1 and press enter. Password 1 is set to “111111” from factory
3. Enter the number of the weigh bucket to be calibrated and press enter. The current value will be
displayed live and the zero key will light up.
4. Press the enter key to set the new zero. The display will hold the value.
5. When the “full” key lights up, place the 1kg weight on the correct weigh bucket. Allow 20
seconds for the weigh bucket to reach a stable state.
6. Press the enter key. The display will go to live mode and should display 1000.0 grams.
7. Repeat process for all addition weigh buckets that require calibration.
8. Return to the main menu and perform the “Zero” procedure.
Note: Be sure that there is no air flow around the machine. Fans and heat vents will affect accuracy.
