Mettler-Toledo CM and CX Combination Inspection Systems

Click2Contact

Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection has launched its CM (checkweighing and metal detection) and CX (checkweighing and x-ray) Combination Systems.

The 2-in-1 inspection solutions integrate the M30 R-Series metal detectors and X2 Series of X-ray inspection systems into the C-Series checkweighers. The combination of these technologies allows manufacturers to tailor inspection solutions to meet their specific application, packaging and budget needs.

The systems are designed to manage critical control points (CCPs) by combining weighing with contamination detection in an integrated solution. Features include simplified operation, a space-saving design and reduced total cost of ownership.

The C-Series checkweighers feature intuitive user interfaces and advanced data management capabilities, allowing for seamless integration into existing production lines. A smaller machinery footprint is suitable for applications with limited factory floor space. For high-end applications, the systems can be configured with the FlashCell load cell technology.

The M30 R-Series and Profile metal detectors are equipped to detect a range of ferrous and non-ferrous — including aluminium and stainless-steel — contaminants, optimising for both wet and dry applications.

The X2 Series x-ray inspection systems feature ContamPlus Software, which runs over 30 inspection algorithms continuously and in parallel, detecting hard-to-find foreign bodies while reducing waste. Also featuring the HiGain detector technology, which is designed to generate sharper images to deliver good contaminant detection, these systems are capable of identifying a wide range of contaminants, including metal, glass, stone, calcified bone and high-density plastics, while also performing quality assurance checks such as detecting missing or broken products.

An additional option is a Smart Catch Bin, which is designed to not only improve detection sensitivity but also optimise overall production line performance.
