What is a Checkweigher Metal Detector Combination System?
Ensure Product Safety and Quality with SamaGarm's Advanced Dynamic Checkweigher and Metal Detector Solutions
A dynamic checkweigher metal detector combination system is a cutting-edge, integrated solution designed to streamline quality control in food and pharmaceutical production lines. By combining a Industrial metal detector and a dynamic checkweigher into a single compact unit, this system simultaneously verifies product weight and detects metal contaminants, ensuring compliance with safety standards and minimizing waste. At SamaGarm, our SCM-4530L2 Checkweigher with Metal Detector Machine Combination System delivers precision, efficiency, and reliability, making it an ideal choice for manufacturers seeking to enhance product safety and protect their brand.
An in-line checkweigher metal detector combination system is an advanced inspection tool that integrates two critical functions:
1. Metal Detection: Utilizes electromagnetic induction to identify ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants in products, ensuring food safety by preventing metal fragments from reaching consumers.
2. Checkweighing: Measures the weight of each product to ensure it meets specified tolerances, reducing overfills or underfills and minimizing product giveaway.
This dual-inspection system operates on a single conveyor, saving valuable production space and simplifying operation. It is widely used in industries like food processing, pharmaceuticals, and packaged goods to meet stringent regulatory standards such as HACCP, GFSI, and retailer requirements.
At SamaGarm, our expertise in precision engineering shines through in the SCM-4530L2, a high-performance combination system designed for seamless integration into compact production lines. With over a decade of experience in manufacturing inspection equipment, SamaGarm ensures your products are safe, compliant, and consistent.
How Does an In-Motion Checkweigher Metal Detector Combination Work?
The system combines two technologies for efficient, real-time quality control:
Metal Detection Process
1. A metal detector uses inductor coils to generate a magnetic field. When a metal contaminant (e.g., ferrous, non-ferrous, or stainless steel) passes through, it creates eddy currents that disrupt the magnetic field, triggering an alert.
2. Advanced multi-frequency scanning, as used in SamaGarm’s SCM-4530L2, enhances sensitivity, detecting even small metal particles (e.g., Fe: 0.6-1.2mm, Non-Fe: 0.8-1.5mm, Sus: 1.2-2.0mm) across various product types, including high-moisture or conductive foods.
Checkweighing Process
1. The in-motion checkweigher measures product weight with high precision (e.g., ±0.3-1g for the SCM-4530L2) using a digital weighing sensor.
2. Products outside the acceptable weight range are automatically rejected, ensuring compliance with weight regulations and reducing costly giveaways.
Integrated Operation
Both functions are controlled via a single touchscreen interface, simplifying setup and operation. The SCM-4530L2 features independent reject mechanisms (push rod or sliding type) to separate metal-contaminated products from weight-noncompliant ones, improving sorting accuracy and traceability.
Key Benefits of a High Speed Checkweigher Metal Detector Combination System
Combining a metal detector and high-speed checkweigher into one system offers numerous advantages for manufacturers. Here’s why the SamaGarm SCM-4530L2 stands out:
Space-Saving Design
1. By integrating both functions into a single unit, the SCM-4530L2 saves up to 50% of production line space compared to separate systems, ideal for compact facilities.
2. Its sleek, stainless steel construction (304 grade) ensures durability and hygiene in demanding environments.
Enhanced Productivity
A single touchscreen interface simplifies operation, reducing training time and operator errors. The SCM-4530L2 supports multilingual controls and stores up to 100 product formulas for quick changeovers.
Cost Efficiency
Shared hardware reduces costs compared to purchasing standalone metal detectors and checkweighers. The SCM-4530L2’s integrated design also lowers maintenance expenses, with a single point of contact for service and support.
Superior Safety and Compliance
1. Detects a wide range of metal contaminants, including hard-to-detect stainless steel, ensuring compliance with food safety standards.
2. Precise checkweighing (±0.3-1g accuracy) minimizes product giveaway, saving costs while meeting regulatory requirements.
Easy Maintenance
Designed for quick troubleshooting and minimal downtime, the SCM-4530L2 features a hygienic, washdown-ready (IP65) design, perfect for food and pharmaceutical environments.
Smart Data Integration
Real-time data export via USB and compatibility with MES/ERP systems ensure full traceability, making audits seamless.
Applications of Automatic Checkweigher Metal Detector Combination Systems
The SamaGarm SCM-4530L2 is versatile, catering to a wide range of industries and product types. Its compact design and high sensitivity make it ideal for:
Food Processing
● Meat & Poultry: Detects metal in packaged cuts, sausages, or marinated products while verifying weight.
● Seafood: Ensures fillets, shrimp, or frozen fish are free of metal contaminants and within weight tolerances.
● Dairy: Screens cheese, yogurt, or butter for metal and ensures consistent packaging weight.
● Bakery & Snacks: Inspects cookies, chips, or bars for contaminants and weight accuracy.
● Prepared Meals: Verifies weight and safety of ready-to-eat trays or vacuum-packed entrees.
Pharmaceuticals
● Ensures canned or packaged pharmaceuticals meet strict weight and safety standards, detecting metal particles in sealed containers.
Sanitary Products
● Verifies weight and checks for metal in hygiene products like sanitary pads, ensuring consumer safety.
The SCM-4530L2’s ability to handle high-moisture, conductive, or multi-SKU products makes it a go-to solution for automated packaging lines, including form-fill-seal and tray-pack conveyors.
