Combination Product Inspection Solutions
Combining checkweighing and metal detection, x-ray or vision inspection solutions
Improved Compliance, Small Footprint
Combining a checkweigher with a metal detector or x-ray system strengthens critical control points by adding weighing capabilities. This helps to protect against under filling and unnecessary product giveaway in combination with the detection of metal or other physical contaminants at a single point on the production line. Our combination systems have a small footprint and fit easily into existing production lines.
Advanced Product Handling
When multiple inspection processes are being conducted by a unified inspection system, it requires more thought in terms of how products are passed through the process. Our product handling options are built to handle the transfer of products to and from the system smoothly in order to guard against line jams. This is especially useful when handling lightweight and unstable products which can have trouble passing to and from the system and through a heavy x-ray curtain.
Product Data Check
Optional vision inspection can easily be added to existing checkweighers or product inspection devices achieving outstanding inspection results to identify labeling errors. The product data check option is suitable for oriented products whilst the unique 6-sensor product data check 360 option reliably inspects round products. These integrated, space saving solutions detect non-compliant products enabling them to be rejected by the checkweigher or product inspection system. Out of specification products are rejected into a separate catch bins to segregate them from off-weight or contaminated products.
Due Diligence Kits
Keeping an audit trail and documentation related to the inspection and quality control process is a good practice and, depending on the industry, may be mandatory. Our combination checkweigher and metal detection or x-ray systems can be fitted with a number of monitoring options which help to maximize product safety and quality and also prove that all reasonable steps were taken to avoid the risk of contamination.
FAQs
Product Data Check or Product Data Check 360 can be added to any existing METTLER TOLEDO product inspection equipment.
A metal detector or x-ray component must be present in order for this to be true – but adding a checkweigher or vision element (or both) provides additional quality control to the system while maintaining a reduced footprint.
We work with OEMs to produce custom equipment solutions that integrate our product inspection equipment, and can also design and produce custom solutions in-house when the need arises.
Should the need for service arise, one service technician can perform maintenance on the entire system. That is one of the major advantages of a METTLER TOLEDO combination system! - Our service team can provide support for the entire system.
