Ceia - Check Weigher and Metal Detector Combination

• Ensuring compliance with weight regulations in food packaging lines.
• Detecting ferrous and non-ferrous metal contaminants in packaged goods.
• Minimising product giveaway and ensuring consistent pack weights in pharmaceuticals.
• Quality control for packaged goods in cosmetics and personal care industries.

Typical throughput

Units of this class commonly handle up to 150 packs per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Weighing range

Typically, checkweighers of this type are suitable for products ranging from a few grams up to approximately 5 kg.

Accuracy

For this class of equipment, weighing accuracy is commonly around +/- 0.5g to +/- 2g, depending on throughput and product characteristics.

Power supply

Most units operate on a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase supply, typically 230V or 400V AC, 50Hz.

Conveyor belt width

Commonly, conveyor belt widths for combination units range from 200mm to 400mm.

Metal detection sensitivity

Metal detectors integrated into these units typically offer good sensitivity for ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, varying with aperture size and product effect.

Construction material

Units are typically constructed from stainless steel, suitable for hygienic environments.

• What is the primary benefit of a combination unit?

  A combination unit integrates both checkweighing and metal detection into a single footprint, saving space and simplifying line integration compared to two separate machines.

• Can this unit handle different product sizes?

• What kind of reject mechanisms are typically found on these machines?

• Is calibration required for these units?

• What maintenance is typically involved?

• Are spare parts readily available for 'Trendsetter II' models?

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.
