The Manter VP10000 is a used weigh packaging machine — sometimes referred to as a multihead weigher or combination weigher — dating from 2002 and currently located in the Netherlands. Weigh packaging machines of this type are designed to automatically portion and dispense products at precise target weights, making them a core piece of equipment in food packing lines for items such as fresh produce, snacks, and similar goods. Manter is a Dutch manufacturer with a strong reputation for building weighing and packaging systems specifically for the fresh produce and horticultural sectors.
The machine is configured with ten weighing buckets arranged in the multihead format, with both a pre-weigher and a main weigher present. This two-stage arrangement allows the system to pre-sort product batches before final combination weighing, improving accuracy and throughput. A cross discharge conveyor is fitted, with outlets on both sides of the machine, though in its most recent application only one side was in use, connected to a single packaging machine.
The listing includes an Aweta feeding conveyor, which was used specifically for handling cherry tomatoes. This conveyor measures 210 × 70 cm and features 2 cm cleats to carry product steadily along its length. Its infeed height is 127 cm.
Also included is a Sarco carton filler, equipped with a conveyor belt measuring 345 × 20 cm and an outfeed height of 90 cm. The carton filler accommodates trays up to 6 cm high and up to 15 cm wide; at the time of listing the machine was set up for 10 cm wide trays.
Regarding condition, the machine is described as generally good. One noted point is that the original display of the Manter weigher does not always function reliably. As a practical solution, an external PC monitor and keyboard have been connected directly to the weigher's PLC, allowing full operation of the machine via this external interface.
