Ishida & Bockels - Ishida Checkweigher & Bockels Metal Detector

• Ensuring products meet specified weight tolerances in food packaging lines.
• Detecting ferrous and non-ferrous metal contaminants in packaged goods.
• Reducing product giveaway and ensuring compliance with weight regulations.
• Quality control for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and other consumer goods.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 60 to 300 packs per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 230V, single-phase, 50Hz electrical supply.

Weighing accuracy

Ishida checkweighers typically offer high accuracy, often to within +/- 0.5g for suitable product weights.

Metal detection sensitivity

Bockels metal detectors are generally designed to detect small metal contaminants, with sensitivity levels varying based on product and aperture size.

Integration

This type of equipment is typically designed for integration into existing production lines, requiring external conveyor systems.

Construction materials

Commonly, these units feature stainless steel construction for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Control interface

Modern checkweighers and metal detectors often include a touchscreen HMI for parameter setting and data logging.

• What is the primary function of a checkweigher?

  A checkweigher automatically weighs every product in a production line, ensuring it falls within a pre-defined weight range and rejecting out-of-spec items.

• Why is a metal detector important in a processing line?

• Can this combined unit be used for different product types?

• What maintenance is typically required for these machines?

• What does 'No conveyors' mean for this listing?

• What does 'Sold as Seen' imply?

Checkweighers are valued in food processing for reliable weight verification and compliance support. Buyers typically prioritise accuracy, speed, and ease of integration with existing production lines. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration history, mechanical condition, and software functionality proves important. Industry sentiment favours models offering consistent performance, straightforward maintenance, and robust build quality. Durable construction and proven track records across multiple production environments remain key considerations for buyers assessing secondhand equipment.
