Manter VP16000 Weighing Machine
EUROPE (Western and Northern)
Weighing machine with 3 elevators and dosing conveyors
Overview
• Robust Manter weigher with 16 weighing buckets, designed for high accuracy and gentle product handling.
• Ideal for (colour) mixes, piece counting and weight-based portions of peppers towards flowpacker.
Main features
• 16 weighing buckets for accurate combination weighing and mixing
• 3 feeding conveyors with dosing belt (frequency controlled) for constant product feed
• Moving brush above the vibrating trays for optimal singulation (fewer double layers/clogging)
• Cross discharge belt under the weighing buckets with flap for controlled release to packaging line
• Counting function via sensors above the weighing buckets (piece packaging possible)
• Flowpacker-ready: stable, even product flow
Modes & functionality
• Weight mode: precise target weights (e.g. 500 g / 1 kg / 1,5 kg)
• Count mode: set quantities (e.g. 2-, 3-, 4-pieces) Mix mode: colour/size mixing based on recipes (recipes adjustable per order) Recipe management:
• Quick changeover between customer orders and packaging types
Practical advantages
• Gentle handling of peppers due to even distribution and brush singulation
• High line stability towards flowpacker due to cross discharge and controlled drops
• Flexible: quick change between weighing, counting and mixing without conversion
• Less waste & give-away thanks to frequency control and sensor counting
Operational indications
• Capacity: depending on target weight, piece size and desired presentation (on request)
• Accuracy: suitable for retail portions and piece packaging (calibration recommended per product batch)
Maintenance & hygiene
• Daily: clean vibrating trays/brush, visual check of weighing buckets/flaps
• Weekly: check belt tension, bearings, vibrating parts; clean sensors
• Periodically: calibrate load cells, inspect flap mechanisms and brush drive
• Recommended spare parts: brush, belt hinge sets, flap actuators, sensors, load cell cables
