Inspection & Quality Control

Metal detectors catch metallic contamination and are cost effective for many products, while X-ray systems also find glass, stone, bone and dense plastic. If your risk is limited to metal, a detector may be enough. Where the hazard is broader or you need fill and seal checks, X-ray is the better fit.

Ask for evidence that the machine still meets its detection or weighing specification with a test piece or check weight. Confirm the reject mechanism fires reliably and the belt and controls are sound. A machine that cannot demonstrate its performance will not pass an audit however good it looks.

The machine must handle your throughput in packs per minute and accept your largest pack through the aperture or across the belt. Confirm the belt speed and aperture or weighing range suit your product. A unit sized for a slower or smaller line will bottleneck production.

These machines are usually built into a conveyor line, so belt height, width and control signals need to match. Confirm the infeed and outfeed heights line up with your existing conveyors. The seller can advise on the interfaces and any transitions needed.

Financing is offered on qualifying listings, which helps spread the cost of a full inspection stage. Where it applies, the option appears on the listing itself. You can also raise it with the seller during your enquiry to see how it fits your budget.
