Lock Whole Block Metal Detector Checkweigher

• Ensuring product safety and regulatory compliance in food processing lines.
• Detecting metallic contaminants and verifying package weight simultaneously.
• Reducing product recall risks and minimising material waste.
• Used in production lines for packaged meat, dairy, and bakery products.
• Suitable for quality control in pharmaceutical and non-food industries.

Typical throughput

Typically, units of this class can process between 60 to 120 packs per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 230V, single-phase, 50Hz electrical supply, though three-phase options are also found.

Detection sensitivity

For this class of equipment, typical ferrous detection can be down to 1.0mm, non-ferrous to 1.5mm, and stainless steel to 2.0mm, depending on aperture size and product effect.

Weighing accuracy

Typically offers weighing accuracy of +/- 0.5g to 2g, suitable for most pre-packed goods regulations.

Product weight range

Commonly handles product weights from 50g up to 10kg, though specific models may vary.

Belt type

This unit features Intralox belts, known for their durability and ease of cleaning in food environments.

Reject system

Typically incorporates an air blast or pusher reject mechanism for removing non-conforming products.

• What is a 'Whole Block' metal detector checkweigher?

  A 'Whole Block' system integrates both metal detection and checkweighing functionalities into a single compact unit, often designed for larger, block-shaped products like cheese, meat, or frozen goods.

• Why is a combi unit beneficial?

• What kind of reject system does it have?

• Can this unit be integrated into an existing production line?

• What maintenance is typically required for such equipment?

Checkweighers are valued in food processing for reliable weight verification and compliance support. Buyers typically prioritise accuracy, speed, and ease of integration with existing production lines. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration history, mechanical condition, and software functionality proves important. Industry sentiment favours models offering consistent performance, straightforward maintenance, and robust build quality. Durable construction and proven track records across multiple production environments remain key considerations for buyers assessing secondhand equipment.
