Checkweigher with integrated metal detection system

Ensure the quality and safety of your packaged foods with precise weight verification and sensitive metal detection in one compact unit, streamlining your production line and minimizing product recalls.

Weighs and Detects Metal in Food Products

The HC-A-MDi from Wipotec is a high precision checkweigher integrated with an extremely sensitive metal detector, ideal for the food and related industries. Leveraging Wipotec’s Electro-Magnetic Force Restoration (EMFR) technology, it ensures precise weight measurements while simultaneously detecting metal contaminants. Specially designed for frozen pizzas and processed food items, it efficiently identifies and separates non-compliant products, facilitating seamless integration into high-speed production lines. Its space-saving design accommodates both weighing and metal detection in one unit, reducing the need for additional machinery on the production floor. This unit communicates effortlessly with existing systems via a centralized HMI, making it easier to control operations and automate processes. Additionally, its construction adheres to strict hygiene and safety standards, making it an ideal choice for environments demanding rigorous compliance. With extensive statistical functions and rejection bins, the HC-A-MDi enhances product quality control and consumer safety while maintaining operational efficiency.

Benefits

  • Enhances product quality assurance by combining precise weighing with comprehensive metal detection.
  • Saves floor space with its compact, dual-function design, accommodating both functions in one unit.
  • Simplifies operations with unified control via a single HMI, reducing training and operation complexity.
  • Maximizes production efficiency with seamless integration into high-speed, continuous operations.
  • Ensures compliance with stringent food safety standards, protecting both consumer safety and brand reputation.
