Both metal detection and weighing are vital to the packaging of products. Machines that do one or the other have been in use for a long time. So why not incorporate the two? Having a combination unit, with one common interface, resolves having separate machines with separate controls to perform required inspections. That is why Bunting created the Metal Detector Checkweigher Combo.
The Bunting Metal Detector Checkweigher Combo is a fully integrated metal detector and weighing unit. Using the best weigh cell available, using Electro Magnetic Force Restoration technology (EMFR), instead of traditional strain gauges used in other scales, Bunting’s Combo allows for higher repeatability and higher part rates leading to better accuracy than other units on the market. Having one common interface for the operator makes the Combo user friendly and easy to operate. It’s Simple Assurance, providing the highest quality.
Moving along a conveyor, the package is first inspected for metal. If traces of metal are detected, the package is automatically rejected without slowing down the line. As pure packages continue along the conveyor, they are then checked for accurate weight. If it is either over or under the prescribed weight, then it is rejected into a different bin. Simple Assurance without further delay.
