Company Profile
Based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, Hangzhou Zon Packaging Machinery Co., Ltd. has carved a niche in the Instruments & Meters sector with a focus on multihead weighers, linear weighers, and manual combination weighers. The company’s Zon Pack brand is recognized by food packers and light industrial users who value straightforward, serviceable equipment. We draw on years of in‑house engineering to deliver machines that adapt to real production constraints—not the other way around.
The launch of the Manual Multihead Combination Weigher for Vegetables underscores the firm’s commitment to accessible weighing technology. By combining counting scale functionality with manual operation, Zon Pack fills a gap between fully automatic systems and simple bench scales.
Product Description
The Manual Multihead Combination Weigher (model ZH-AB12) is designed for operators who need multihead combination weighing without a fully automated line. Each working day, fruit and vegetable packers face the challenge of achieving tight weight targets while handling product that varies in piece size, shape, and moisture content. A manual combination weigher lets the operator select combinations from several weigh pans to hit the target weight quickly, reducing giveaway and preventing underfills.
The weigher is built around a 304 stainless steel frame and contact surfaces, making it suitable for food environments where washdowns are routine. Its digital electronic scale head with LCD (LED) display gives fast, unambiguous readouts in grams. Power requirements are 220 V / 800 W, 50/60 Hz, so the unit can be plugged into standard industrial outlets in most regions.
Below are the top five capabilities that distinguish this weigher from bench scales and automated multiheads:
- Counting Scale Integration: The built‑in counting function allows operators to verify piece counts while weighing, a valuable feature for mixed‑vegetable packs.
- Wide Weighing Range: From 10 g to 6,000 g, the weigher handles everything from fresh herbs to whole cucumbers or squash without recalibration.
- Manual Multihead Operation: Multiple weigh pans let the operator mix combinations intelligently, achieving ±1 g accuracy on many products—faster than single‑pan manual weighing.
- Customization Ready: The controller supports software reengineering alongside OEM/ODM mechanical modifications, so the weigher can be integrated into existing conveyor lines or bespoke packing stations.
- Robust Power Design: 800 W supply ensures consistent performance even when the weigher is cycled hundreds of times per shift.
For buyers who want a direct feature‑to‑benefit breakdown, the table below maps the core specifications to production‑floor advantages:
| Feature | Buyer Benefit |
|---|---|
| 304SS Material | Corrosion‑resistant, food‑safe surfaces that withstand frequent cleaning and minimize downtime for sanitation. |
| 10–6000 g Weighing Range | Covers nearly all fresh vegetables—from salad greens to heavy root crops—reducing the need for multiple scale types. |
| Digital LCD/LED Display | High‑visibility readout under factory lighting; less eye strain and faster operator action. |
| Manual Combination Design | No air‑compressor or complex automation needed; simple training, lower maintenance, and direct operator control. |
| OEM/ODM/Software Reengineering | Tailored labeling, data output, or hopper configurations that align with unique customer packaging workflows. |
| 1‑Year Warranty | Post‑install confidence; any manufacturing defects are covered, keeping lines running. |
Applications
The most immediate home for the ZH-AB12 is in fresh vegetable packing sheds, where batch sizes may not justify a fully automatic multihead system. Growers packing baby carrots, green beans, cherry tomatoes, salad mixes, or broccoli florets can use the manual combination weigher to fill bags, clamshells, or trays to exact weights. Because the machine is categorized under Instruments & Meters—counting scales—it also fits into quality‑control laboratories and light industrial kitchens that require precise portioning of irregular items.
Food co‑packers and fulfillment centers handling short‑run, specialty produce are another natural fit. The ability to switch between weighing modes and the machine’s modest footprint makes it a flexible addition to a packing table, especially when re‑engineering support is available for unusual product shapes or packaging formats.
Service Highlights
Hangzhou Zon Packaging Machinery Co., Ltd. ships the Manual Multihead Combination Weigher as a single‑unit purchase—no volume minimum—making it simple for first‑time buyers to trial the equipment. We provide direct OEM and ODM services backed by engineering staff who can adapt the software and mechanical interfaces to a customer’s existing line. For operations that need a fully custom counting or combination algorithm, software reengineering is offered as part of the customization package.
Each weigher leaves the factory tested and calibrated, and it comes with a one‑year warranty. After‑sales support is handled by the company’s technical team, reachable through the normal supplier channels. This blend of accessible purchase terms and engineering depth is what distinguishes a dedicated weighing‑equipment manufacturer from a general trading supplier.
Your Next Step
When inconsistent portion weights start cutting into margins or slowing down packaging throughput, it may be time to upgrade from a simple scale to a manual combination weigher. Contact Hangzhou Zon Packaging Machinery Co., Ltd. directly to discuss the ZH-AB12, request a detailed specification sheet, or ask about a custom configuration. The team is ready to help you integrate a weigher that matches your produce range and packing targets.
