Checkweigher with separating screw

For our customer, who produces sauces and dips among other things, the task was to install a dynamic control system in an existing packaging line in accordance with the pre-packaging ordinance. In addition to the weight control, a metal detector was to be installed to prevent food recalls due to contamination.

The challenge in this project was the logistical handling, as the products have a round base and a high top load. In addition, the products must be reliably separated before they are fed into the checkweigher, as they come from the upstream production close together from the conveyor belt.

The goal was to install an efficient, fully automatic and calibratable combined system with checkweigher and metal detector, which is optimally adapted to the space conditions and embedded in the customer's processes.
