Ishida & Bockels - Ishida Checkweigher & Bockels Metal Detector

• Ensuring product weight consistency in packaging lines.
• Identifying and rejecting underweight or overweight packages.
• Detecting metallic contaminants in food and non-food products.
• Complying with industry regulations for product safety and quality control.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 60 to 300 packs per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Weighing accuracy

Checkweighers commonly offer accuracy within +/- 0.5g to +/- 2g, crucial for compliance and waste reduction.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase electrical supply, commonly 230V or 400V AC.

Metal detector sensitivity

Bockels metal detectors are generally designed to detect ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, with sensitivity varying by aperture size and product effect.

Footprint

The combined footprint for a checkweigher and metal detector without conveyors typically requires a linear space of approximately 1.5m to 2.5m.

Construction materials

Equipment in this category commonly features stainless steel construction for hygiene and durability, especially in food processing environments.

• What is the significance of 'No conveyors'?

  This indicates the listing includes the core checkweigher and metal detector units only. Buyers will need to integrate these into their existing conveyor system or source suitable conveyors separately.

• Can these units be used independently?

• What kind of products are suitable for this equipment?

• What maintenance is typically required for used checkweighers and metal detectors?

• Will I need specialist installation for these units?

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.
