As a result, product inspection system has been continuously
developed in response to the demand of food and beverage
manufacturers,whether it isaneffectivecombinationsystemofcheck
weigher andmetal detector
1
, for example.
In 2017, the newest combination of check weigher and metal
detector with x-ray inspection
2
is released into the market, after a
longprocessof brainstorming, developingandmarketing. The x-ray
inspection that added into the newest model of checkweigher
2
is a
prominent upgrade. It uses theworld’s lowest radioactive - 20watts
-without compromising theability todetect contaminations.Theuse
of the latestdetection technologycompensates to theuseof lowx-ray
radioactive, and keeps the energy level sufficient to detect
contaminations. This is the most economical and the most energy
sufficient machinewe have today.
At the same time, this combination
1
offers accurate weight
checkingandmetal detectingat aspeedof 600 items/minute. It also
supports various sizesof conveyor belt tomatchwith the sizeof the
items,which is in linewithmodernproductionandproductsdiversity.
Manufacturers can save cost for futurepurchase of machinery.
Moreover, the integration of weighing and metal detection
technologies works effectively, too. This combination is due to the
fact that metal detector is a common technology in contamination
detection (critical control point) in foodand beverage industry.
Thefinal inspectionbeforedeliveringproducts to thecustomers
remains challenging for users both in terms of performance,
speed, safety, andcost efficiencywhen theproductionsystem
is changing in the future.

requires not only the installation of metal detector into the check
weigher, but also the installation of integrated user interface. With
that, userscanadjust thesettings, displays, andassessment results
in the same screen for their convenience.
For thebody

, a robustmodel developed from itspredecessors,
its check weigher and metal detector is very much more accurate
than ever before. The new model structure can reduce vibration,
whichposesasanegativeobstacle for themachine’saccuracyand
metal detection sensitivity.
Additionally, thecheckweigher andmetal detector combination

helps users save total cost of ownership. This is an advantage for
theassessmentofpurchaseauthorization.Notonly that, themachine
uses less conveyor belts than the 3-conveyor-belts check weigher

From the industries thatproducebigger

rice, to non-food products in big sacks
like thermoplastic and resins, the use
of combination system check weigher
