Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection has unveiled the new EC Series conveyors to meet the product quality control needs of SME food manufacturers.
The conveyors are said to ‘seamlessly’ integrate with the M30 R-Series metal detectors. The integrated metal detection solutions can inspect a wide range of both wet and dry applications, including meat, bakery and confectionery, ready meals, and snack foods.
The EC Series conveyor specifications include a range of options to suit production line integration needs while still meeting BRCGS requirements. The modular belt design and ‘streamlined’ features are designed to enable easier cleaning – complemented by an ingress protection IP65 rating – quick servicing, and reduced operator time. Reporting capabilities include OPC UA, USB and connectivity to Mettler-Toledo ProdX software.
By listening to the needs of small and mid-sized manufacturers, the manufacturer said the development of the new conveyors meets both budget and regulatory compliance needs at a time when combatting rising costs matters the most.
“An EC Series conveyor coupled with an M30 R-Series metal detector is the perfect detection solution for small to mid-sized businesses seeking affordable quality and compliance,” said Ben Pimblett, head of market management at Mettler-Toledo. “Designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind, our new conveyors suit various production needs while providing maximum uptime due to reduced cleaning and maintenance time.”
The EC Series is compatible with three of the M30 R-Series metal detector models – the M31R StandardLine, M33R PlusLine, and M34R PlusLine.
