Overview

Checkweigher metal detector combination: one inline station

A checkweigher metal detector combination offers the best balance of performance, value, and space-saving design for modern production lines. Equipped with a highly versatile strain-gauge load cell, this system handles a wide range of food applications, including heavy items such as large cartons, canned products, and bulk packaged goods. By integrating the functions of a checkweigher and metal detector into one compact unit, manufacturers can reduce equipment footprint while improving inspection efficiency and production flow.

This combined setup helps ensure accurate product weight, reliable metal contamination detection, and smooth compliance with industry standards. As a single-source provider, we supply the technology, support, and service needed to keep your combination system running at peak performance throughout its entire lifespan. The following highlights the key features available in our checkweighing and metal detection solutions.

Applications

Where a checkweigher metal detector combination is used

One checkweigher and metal detector station covers weight and contamination on the same conveyor.

Food lines
Checks the weight of products and performs a metal check in one check.
Canned goods
Checks cartons and cans that weigh heavy and cannot be contaminated.
Ready meals
Packs proper quantities and before sealing, requires identification of metal.
Snacks and confectionery
Maintains the pack weight and avoids the metal contamination of the products.
FAQ

Common questions

What does a checkweigher and metal detector combination do?

It measures product weight and also identifies metal contaminants simultaneously saving the usage of two machines.

What products can a checkweigher and metal detector combination inspect?

It deals with packed foods, canned goods, cartons, ready meals, snacks, pharmaceuticals and a host of consumer products.

Does it slow down production?

No. The combination units are continuous and inline, and can keep pace with most conveyor speeds.

What is the accuracy of the weight checking?

The accuracy is determined by the size and speed of the products though systems can now identify any slight deviation in weight always.

Which metals are detected by the detector?

It is capable of identifying ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel contaminants within most of the packaged products.
Ensure your production line is free from metal contamination.
