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.

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.

Optional vision inspection can easily be added to existing checkweighers or product inspection devices achieving outstanding inspection results to identify labeling errors. 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.

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.
