Mettler-Toledo EC Series conveyors

Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection has launched the EC Series conveyors designed to meet the product quality control needs for small to mid-sized food manufacturers. The series can seamlessly integrate with the M30 R-Series metal detectors to offer an inspection solution for small and medium-sized packaged products in standard production environments. The integrated metal detection solutions are suitable for inspecting a wide range of both wet and dry applications, including meat, bakery and confectionery, ready meals and snack foods.

The simplified conveyor specifications include a range of options to suit production line integration needs while still meeting BRCGS requirements. Standard components are specified for ease of maintenance, facilitating maximum uptime and productivity. For example, the modular belt design and streamlined features enable easier cleaning — complemented by an ingress protection IP65 rating — quick servicing and reduced operator time. Reporting capabilities include OPC UA, USB and connectivity to Mettler-Toledo ProdX software for enhanced data management and traceability.

The new conveyors have been designed to meet both budget and regulatory compliance needs of users.

The series is compatible with three of the M30 R-Series metal detector models, which identify a range of metals, both magnetic and non-magnetic including all ferrous, non-ferrous, stainless steel and aluminium, matched to different production and compliance needs, and budget considerations: M31R StandardLine entry-level system; M33R PlusLine with enhanced performance suitable for dry applications such as cereal bars, dry pasta, confectionery and snacks; and M34R PlusLine tailored to wet, challenging and conductive applications such as meat, poultry, seafood, dairy, products with high salt content and those packed in metallised film.

The EC Series conveyors are available within short lead times.
