What Are Commonly Used Yamato Packaging Machines?

Yamato packaging scales are found in many types of packaging facilities, with a wide variety of options used for weighing different products. Their selection includes food service scales, combination scales, checkweighing scales and many others. Here are some of the particularly popular Yamato packaging machines you can find at High Performance Packaging.

Combination Weigher Scales

Yamato combination weighers are manufactured for a wide variety of applications, including mixing, blending and counting. Production lines can combine these combination weighers with VFFS and HFFS packaging equipment to help improve the overall efficiency of the line. Their combination weigher systems include the Sigma and Alpha series, as well as Dataweigh Omega and semi-automatic units. Packaging facilities can use these in both washdown and non-washdown environments, and they are ideal for both fragile handling and high-speed packaging facilities.

Platform Scales

Along with combination weighers, another commonly used Yamato packaging machine is the platform scale. Yamato manufactures stainless steel platform scales that are also splash-proof. Packaging facilities can combine platform scales with mezzanines to help form a complete packaging system.

Washdown Scales

Another common type of Yamato packaging machine is the washdown scale. Yamato’s washdown scales are all made of stainless steel and perform a variety of functions. They are intended for harsh washdown environments, remaining invulnerable to heavy exposure to water. They also include an LCD display with annunciations.

There are also other scales that Yamato manufactures, including baby scales, bench scales, digital scales, food service scales, hanging scales, grading and packing scales, kitchen scales and legal or trade scales. They have plenty of scales for a wide range of industries.

Yamato, Ishida, Combi & Bilwinco: Popular Weigher Brands

If you’re looking to purchase new or used weigher equipment for your business, you’ve probably got a few brands in mind. Whether you’re looking for a check weigher or a combination weigher, it’s always helpful to know why certain brands are more popular than others, so today we’ll take a look at some of the leading brands in the packaging equipment industry.

Yamato Weighers

Yamato builds weighers for both food and non-food industries, and for more than 80 years, they have been providing clients with unique solutions for packaging machinery. Founded in 1922, they have become a leader in the industrial weighing industry and first introduced their version of the combination weigher. They now have several locations around the globe, including Germany, Japan, Russia, France, and the UK.

Ishida Weighers

Celebrating its 120th anniversary, Ishida provides weighing and packaging equipment for the manufacturing, retail, and distribution industries. The company was started in 1893 and founded in 1948, but its first multihead weigher didn’t hit the market until 1972. Still, they have carved out a name for themselves in a few industries, and have manufacturing facilities in Korea, China, Japan, and Brazil.

Combi Weighers

What sets Combi apart from some of its competitors is that this brand focuses its energy on the food industry. In fact, the design objective for Combi was to create a food-safe machine that was not only reliable, but able to be cleaned quickly and one that required less user intervention. Their machinery is constructed to provide a cleaner way of packaging foods, allowing floor managers to increase output.

Bilwinco Weighers

Bilwinco is the company responsible for the first multihead, or combination, weigher. This machine first hit the market in the early 1960s, so it’s not surprising that the forerunner of the technology is still a major game player. This Danish company has been a market leader for over 50 years now, and has dedicated its time in business to developing and building custom packaging solutions for clients located all over the world. They provide semi- and fully-automatic units and complete packaging line machinery.

Hayssen, Matrix & Triangle Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) Machines

When you’re shopping around for new or used packaging equipment, it’s not a secret that you have a good amount of choice. So how can you decide which brand to purchase from? If you’re searching for the perfect vertical form fill seal, or VFFS, equipment to add to your line, it may pay off knowing which brands are better known for their VFFS machines.

Hayssen

Hayssen Sandiacre is another big name in the packaging equipment industry. Their VFFS machines offer companies the flexibility and speed of packing up to 200 packages per minute. They currently have 9 available models, including continuous motion baggers as well as intermittent motion baggers. See more Hayssen baggers.

Matrix

Matrix is an industry leader in manufacturing vertical form fill seal packaging equipment. Since 1988, this company has been known for providing clients affordable solutions for their packaging needs. Their machines serve a range of different industries, and are available to suit different company needs. For example, if speed is the goal, there’s a machine that produces 300 units per minute, or if the product being packaged is heavy, there’s a model that allows bag weights up to 110 pounds. See Matrix VFFS bagger.

Triangle

Triangle serves primarily the food industries, packaging things like cereals, shredded cheese, coffee, produce, and more in a variety of different bag shapes. Triangle was one of the first companies to manufacture VFFS machines, and though their focus is on the food industry, they do serve other industries as well. They also offer a machine that uses ultrasonic welding technology to seal the bags, which creates 50-80% narrower seals than heat sealing does. See Triangle VFFS baggers.

Depending on what your focus is—speed, versatility, or being able to package multiple products in one bag—and what your industry is, these three VFFS manufacturers likely have a product that will suit your needs.
