New combination systems tipped to reduce cleaning downtime

METTLER-Toledo has announced the launch of a new series of washdown-resistant combination product inspection systems, integrating checkweighing and metal detection technologies.

The CM33 Washdown and CM35 Washdown systems are aimed at manufacturers of packaged food products.

The CM33 Washdown is based on the C33 PlusLine Washdown Checkweigher, but with an integrated metal detector from Mettler-Toledo’s Profile range. It is said to be capable of mid-range frequency operation and throughput of up to 250 weighings per minute, with weighing accuracy of up to +/- 0.2g.

With the CM35 Washdown, Mettler-Toledo added that manufacturers get a system that is capable of a high frequency range and high sensitivity.

Frank Borrmann, market manager at Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection, said, “The CM33 Washdown and CM35 Washdown systems bring something new to the market. These are highly automated, high performance machines, utilising Mettler-Toledo’s well-known precision technology – among the most advanced in these fields today – packed into a compact, open frame unit that is proven to be able to work in the harshest of washdown environments with no loss of quality.

“In addition, by combining checkweighing and metal detection in a single machine, food manufacturers can also save space in their factories, and benefit from service and support from a single supplier.”
