Metal detection sensitivity

Commonly detects ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, with sensitivity varying by aperture size and product effect.

Reject mechanism

Units often feature pneumatic reject systems like air blast, pushers, or ram ejectors for out-of-spec products.

Footprint

A combination unit of this specification typically requires a floor space of 2.0m to 3.5m in length.

• What products are suitable for this combination unit?

  This type of unit is suitable for a wide range of packaged products, including pouches, cartons, trays, and rigid containers, provided they fit within the specified aperture and weigh platform dimensions.

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

• What maintenance is typically required for a checkweigher and metal detector?

• What certifications are relevant for this equipment?

• How does the reject mechanism work?

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.
