Combined metal detector and checkweigher for food production

Ensure compliance and safety in food production with this integrated system that simultaneously detects metal contaminants and verifies weight accuracy, optimizing your quality control process to meet stringent regulatory standards and customer satisfaction.

Detects Metal Contaminants and Checks Product Weight

The Combined Metal Detector & Checkweigher JW-GC315 from The Food Machinery Company enhances your food production by integrating metal detection with precise weight checks. This system ensures compliance with BRC and SALSA standards, providing a crucial role in packaging and processing lines for food manufacturers. It uses a 10-inch HMI for intuitive control and a German HBM loadcell for accurate measurements. Ideal for products like sausages, cheese blocks, and chocolate bars, it operates at speeds up to 52m/min with minimal footprint. The JW-GC315 features detachable PU belts for easy cleaning and a lockable bin to secure rejected products, offering reliable contamination control and weight verification in high-speed operations. With storage for up to 100 product settings, the unit simplifies transitions in diverse production environments, while automatic average weight correction aids compliance with legislation. The system supports continuous operation and includes USB data archiving, ensuring both efficiency and traceability in food packaging and manufacturing sectors.
