Cintex CS4000 Metal detector checkweigher

• Detecting metallic contaminants and verifying package weight in packaged food production lines.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance with weight regulations for confectionery, baked goods, and snack foods.
• Integrating into automated lines for quality control of ready meals, dairy products, and processed meats.
• Used in pharmaceutical and non-food industries requiring combined metal detection and weight verification.

Typical throughput

Units of this class commonly handle up to 200 packs per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Power supply

Typically requires a single-phase electrical supply, often 230V, 50Hz, with a compressed air supply for the reject mechanism.

Construction material

Almost exclusively constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Weight range

For this class of equipment, typical weight ranges can span from a few grams up to several kilograms, with high accuracy.

Reject mechanism

Commonly features pneumatic reject systems such as blow-off, pushers, or diverters for contaminated or out-of-spec products.

Maintenance requirements

Regular calibration, belt inspection, and cleaning are typically required to maintain optimal performance and hygiene.

• What types of metal can this detector identify?

  A Cintex CS4000 is designed to detect ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants. Its sensitivity will depend on the product and aperture size.

• Is this unit suitable for wet or washdown environments?

• What is the typical accuracy of the checkweigher?

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

• What kind of product data can be stored or exported?

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.
