Combined metal detection and checkweighing solution Wipotec
The HC-MDi checkweigher is an efficient combination of checkweigher and metal detector. The “i” in HC-MDi stands for the metal detector. It is fully incorporated within the checkweigher, so that weighing module and metal detector form one single unit. The combination is achieved within the tightest of space constraints with a central, single point menu operation for both devices via the weighing module controller. The HC control concept is based on a fully integrated industrial PC system.
It has an output capacity of 400 pieces / min. What is more, in terms of measurement precision, it operates with a maximum standard deviation of 50 mg over a gross weighing capacity of 3750 g. The sub-frame is made entirely of stainless steel and meets a protection rating of IP 65 (spray water from above). This makes it predestined for use in the food industry. The HC-MDi weighs packed and unpacked food products with precision and additionally checks them for metal contamination. When the product input is changed on the checkweigher, these parameters are communicated automatically to the metal detector. As an integral part of the device, the high frequency metal detector can detect very low-level contamination in the form of steel, iron, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, brass etc.
