Sapphire - Yamato Checkweigher and Sapphire G20 X-Ray System

• Ensuring product weight compliance in food packaging lines.
• Detecting foreign contaminants such as metals, glass, and dense plastics in packaged goods.
• Verifying complete contents in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.
• Quality control for confectionery, bakery, and snack food production.
• Reducing product recall risks by identifying non-conforming items before dispatch.

Typical throughput

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

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 230V, single-phase, 50Hz electrical supply.

Accuracy

Checkweighers commonly offer accuracy levels of +/- 0.5g to +/- 2g, depending on the product weight and line speed.

Detection capabilities

X-ray systems like the Sapphire G20 are designed to detect metals, glass, stone, dense plastics, and calcified bone.

Footprint

Combined checkweigher and X-ray systems typically require a linear space of 1.5m to 3m, plus access for maintenance.

Construction material

Equipment for food processing is commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

• What kind of products can this system inspect?

  This combined system is suitable for inspecting a wide range of packaged products, including pouches, cartons, trays, and rigid containers, particularly in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.

• What are the typical maintenance requirements for such a system?

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

• What safety considerations are there for an X-ray system?

• What is the expected lifespan of an X-ray source?

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.
