Linear Weigher Machines

Linear weighers handle powders like sugar, salt, and MSG, granules such as rice and sesame, fruits and produce like cherries and tomatoes, sticky materials such as brown sugar via belt-type models, and bulk grains including corn, soybeans, and wheat using large-hopper configurations.

Busch Machinery's linear weighers use precision load cells and pneumatic gates for consistent accuracy, with weighing ranges from 2g to 12,000g depending on model. Self-adjusting controllers minimize product giveaway and ensure repeatable results across production runs.

Linear weighers arrange weighing heads in a straight line for high-speed, multi-head portioning of free-flowing products. Net weighers, like Busch Machinery's BMS series, use single or dual-lane scales with self-adjusting controllers for precise net-weight filling, often in semi-automatic operations.

Yes. Busch Machinery's linear weighers support integration with bagging machines, boxing conveyors, timing hoppers, reject devices, and printers. Custom configurations, such as the BM-AX8 boxing conveyor line, allow seamless incorporation into new or existing production setups.

Routine maintenance includes cleaning removable food-grade stainless steel parts, inspecting load cells and pneumatic gates for wear, calibrating weighing accuracy periodically, and verifying touchscreen controller settings. Busch Machinery provides technical support to help schedule and perform these tasks.

Speed varies by model and head count. Busch Machinery's multi-head linear weighers can reach up to 120 bags per minute, while net weight fillers range from 400 to 1,500 fills per hour depending on configuration, making them suitable for both medium and high-volume production.
