Metal detection and weight verification system

Optimize space and boost inspection accuracy by combining metal detection and weighing in one seamless system, designed to ensure product safety and compliance while maximizing operational efficiency.

Detects and Weighs Packaged Products Accurately

The CEIA Metal Detection Ishida Checkweigher System is an innovative solution designed to streamline inspection processes for manufacturers in the food, snack, confectionery, and pharmaceutical industries. This equipment combines high-precision metal detection with reliable checkweighing, ensuring every product is free of metal contaminants and meets specified weight standards. With its high-speed, continuous operation, the system is ideal for packaged solid, powder, and granule products, such as potato chips, gummy candies, and tablet packs.

The system operates with a dual-function mechanism; the CEIA metal detector meticulously scans for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, while the Ishida checkweigher verifies the product’s weight against pre-set parameters. It offers seamless integration into existing production lines, facilitated by PLC control for effortless automation and real-time monitoring. Robust and efficient, this system processes large volumes quickly and efficiently, saving valuable floor space with its compact design.

Built from resilient materials, the system ensures longevity and resistance to the harsh environments characteristic of processing plants. Maintenance is simplified with user-friendly interfaces and self-diagnostic features. Fully compliant with industry standards, it helps manufacturers maintain product safety and quality assurance, even in the most demanding applications.
