In industrial manufacturing and packaging, inspecting metal contaminants and controlling final product weight are two of the most critical quality control (QC) stages. The APCW-3015-Combo Combination Metal Detector and Checkweigher is a modern “2-in-1” integrated solution that performs both operations simultaneously on a single conveyor line, maximizing space savings and optimizing capital expenditure for businesses.

What is the APCW-3015-Combo Combination Metal Detector and Checkweigher?

The APCW-3015-Combo is a multi-functional quality inspection system combining a high-speed dynamic checkweighing module and an electromagnetic wave metal detection module. By integrating both functions on a single compact chassis, the equipment automatically detects under/overweight or metal-contaminated products before they reach the market.

Automated Operating Process:

  • Product Conveying: The conveyor transfers products through the weighing station.
  • Weight Inspection: The dynamic electronic weighing system measures real-time weight and compares it against pre-set target thresholds.
  • Metal Detection: Products continue through the electromagnetic wave aperture frame to scan and detect hidden metal fragments.
  • Sorting & Rejection: If a product violates weight specs or contains metal contaminants, the system instantly triggers an automatic rejection mechanism.

Applications

The APCW-3015-Combo integrated system is widely used across various manufacturing industries:

  • Food & Pharmaceuticals: Weight verification and metal detection in confectionery, canned foods, processed foods, blister packs, and health supplements.
  • Textiles, Footwear & Toys: Detecting broken needles, metal wires, or mechanical impurities in apparel, fabrics, and children’s toys.
  • Chemicals & Consumer Goods: Inspecting pouched, boxed, or bottled products in cosmetics, paper, and personal hygiene.
  • Electronics & Recycling: Inspecting electronic components and recycled materials.
  • Detectable Metals: Accurately detects metal contaminants, including ferrous, copper, brass, aluminum, tin, and stainless steel.
