Ceia - Check Weigher and Metal Detector Combination

Applications & Use Cases

• 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 Specifications

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.
