Flexibility, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness are critical in modern product counting and packaging. With the HQ 3100*2, Cremer introduces a compact counting and dispensing solution specifically designed for manufacturers who need to process two product varieties simultaneously, without increasing footprint or complexity. The HQ 3100*2 is part of Cremer’s proven HQ platform but stands out through its dedicated two-in-one configuration aimed at medium-volume and mixing production environments.
Designed specifically for dual-product assortments
The HQ 3100*2 is ideally suited for producers of multi-flavor and variety pack assortments, such as confectionery, chocolates, candies, as well as non-food products including medical components, hardware items, and detergent pouches. Based on the robust HQ 6100 platform, the *2 configuration introduces an additional divider that enables the processing of up to two flavors or product at the same time. This allows manufacturers to expand assortment possibilities without investing in a second counting machine.
With six counting channels that can, but not must, be divided into two independent product streams, the HQ 3100*2 offers a practical balance between flexibility and capacity. It supports bulk packaging of mixed products as well as single-product runs, making it suitable for boxes, tubs, tins, and direct carton filling.
Accurate optical counting, independent of product weight
The HQ 3100*2 uses optical counting technology to count individual pieces rather than relying on weight-based systems. This ensures consistent and reliable counts, even when products show natural weight variations. As a result, manufacturers achieve accurate net contents for both retail and wholesale packaging, while reducing give-away and minimizing waste.
By eliminating the need for weight-based quality checks, the HQ 3100*2 offers an efficient and cost-effective alternative to traditional weighing and pick-and-place solutions, particularly in applications where product variety and changeovers are frequent.
Compact integration into existing packaging lines
The HQ 3100*2 is designed for seamless integration into existing production lines. Combined with a bulk dosing system, including an infeed hopper and incline dosing conveyor, the machine can be positioned directly on top of downstream equipment such as cartoners, case packers, or bagging machines. This vertical integration helps conserve valuable production floor space.
Its compact footprint, quiet operation, and tool-free disassembly make the HQ 3100*2 easy to operate and maintain. The machine operates without compressed air, contributing to a low-noise, energy-efficient production environment.
One solution for food and non-food applications
The HQ 3100*2 is designed as a versatile, FDA-compliant solution suitable for both food and non-food products. Its robust construction and proven counting technology ensure reliable performance across a wide range of applications, solution for many industries. Whether you’re producing confectionery, medical parts, or other consumer goods, the HQ product counting machine is built to deliver consistent performance and reliable accuracy.
