METTLER TOLEDO PRODUCT INSPECTION

The product inspection division of METTLER TOLEDO produces a suite of high quality, very reliable inspection equipment for use in high speed, demanding manufacturing production lines. Our vision inspection systems automatically check the product to ensure perfect presentation and that all required markings are present, and checkweighers complete a 100% weight check of all items. In addition, our metal detectors ensure that any metal contamination is found and eliminated from the production line, and x-ray inspection systems are able to effectively detect dense physical contaminants as well as measure mass and check for missing or damaged product inside closed packages.

METAL DETECTION AND X-RAY INSPECTION SOLUTIONS

METTLER TOLEDO Safeline pharmaceutical metal detector systems are designed to offer maximum flexibility in process areas. A compact footprint enables systems to be inserted into areas where space is restricted. Robust, low profile, fully rotating castors provide ease of mobility, enabling the system to be used in multiple locations. Flexibility is further enhanced by the ability of the metal detection head to be adjusted easily (without the need for tools) in all three axes to suit any configuration.

A missing or cocked cap on a product package can result in unnecessary product waste and costly rework, which leads to lost profits. Our systems can quickly identify products with missing or improperly-applied caps, removing them from the production line and alerting operators to the issue.
