SARTORIUS METAL DETECTOR AND CHECK WEIGHER

• Ensuring product weight accuracy and detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food items.
• Quality control for pharmaceuticals, verifying correct dosage and identifying foreign objects.
• Inspection of cosmetics and personal care products to meet regulatory standards and brand reputation.
• Packaging lines for consumer goods, ensuring compliance with net content regulations and preventing recalls.
• Processing of bulk materials in non-food industries where weight verification and metal detection are critical.

Typical capacity

Units of this class commonly handle products up to 2kg, suitable for a wide range of packaged goods.

Power supply

Typically requires a standard industrial electrical supply, often 230V, 50Hz, single-phase.

Throughput

Throughput for combination units varies, but models like this are designed for integration into moderate to high-speed production lines.

Footprint

Combination units are designed to minimise floor space, integrating two critical functions into a single frame.

Construction material

Typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability, especially in food and pharmaceutical applications.

Operating direction

Units are configured for a specific product flow direction, such as right-to-left, which is important for line integration.

• What types of metals can this detector typically identify?

  Metal detectors on units like this are designed to identify ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants. Sensitivity varies by metal type and product characteristics.

• Can the weighing parameters be adjusted for different products?

• What kind of maintenance is usually required for a combination unit?

• Is this unit suitable for washdown environments?

• How does the unit handle rejected products?

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.
