Combined metal detector and checkweigher
Ensure compliance and product safety in food production with an integrated system that combines metal detection and precise weight measurement to swiftly identify and reject non-conforming items.

Detects Metal and Ensures Correct Product Weight
The Combined Metal Detector and Checkweigher JW-GC320 delivers precise control over food production lines to ensure product quality and regulatory compliance. Designed for continuous, automatic operations, this equipment integrates seamlessly into packaging and processing environments. With an output speed of 32-52 meters per minute, it effectively detects metal contaminants and verifies weight accuracy, essential for industries spanning snacks, bakery, and ready meals. It features a 10-inch HMI for intuitive operation, a German HBM load cell for reliable measurements, and independent rejecting mechanisms for non-compliant products. The unit stores up to 100 product profiles, facilitating quick changeovers and minimal downtime. Engineered with a detachable PU belt powered by low voltage step motors, it offers ease of cleaning and maintenance. With customizable settings, air pressure monitoring, and reject confirmation sensors, this machine supports food manufacturers and processors in maintaining high-quality standards while reducing waste and optimizing cost-efficiency.
