3-in-1 food package inspection system
Ensure your packaged food products meet safety and regulatory standards with a system that seamlessly combines metal detection, precise weight control, and automatic rejection in a streamlined, high-speed inspection process.
Inspects, Detects, and Rejects Faulty Packages
The GEA EasyCheck is a comprehensive 3-in-1 content inspection system that integrates seamlessly into your existing production line. Specially designed for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical packaging, it combines metal detection, weight control, and product rejection functionalities in one compact unit. This system is critical for ensuring that all packages meet stringent global safety standards, such as HACCP, IFS, and BRC. It effectively identifies and removes packages with incorrect weights or metal contamination through a reliable dual-frequency metal detector and precise inline scale.
With a throughput of up to 120 packages per minute, the GEA EasyCheck increases efficiency while maintaining high accuracy. The system operates continuously, making it ideal for high-speed packaging environments. It comes equipped with a user-friendly interface that integrates smoothly with GEA’s PowerPak and PowerPak PLUS thermoforming packaging machines. Additionally, the system’s compressed air nozzles ensure automatic rejection of non-compliant packages, safeguarding product quality and customer satisfaction.
Designed for versatility, the GEA EasyCheck works across various packaging types, including MAP, vacuum, and skin packs, handling a variety of end-products like sliced cheese, MAP-packed fresh meat, and pharmaceutical tablets. The robust construction and durable technology of the GEA EasyCheck ensure reduced maintenance needs and easy cleaning, supporting long-term operational reliability.
