Metal detector maintains sensitivity
A metal detector from Mettler Toledo is well suited to food production and packaging line use, with the sensitivity needed for the application and featuring high frequency coil technology.
Having already been impressed by the high levels of service and technology provided by Mettler Toledo whilst in previous employment, West Bromwich Tool and Engineering's chairman, Stuart Fell, invited the industrial weighing technology specialists to devise a weighing solution that would ensure only the correct number of fabricated components were manually loaded into boxes.
* Highly proven solution - based around Mettler Toledo's highly proven KA 32s (32kg x 0.1g stainless steel) check scales, the system provided for West Bromwich Tool and Engineering Co incorporated a programmable display (where products to be filled are listed, along with target weight), a barcode-label printer and an Ethernet interface to enable the uploading of data.
The entire kit is also covered by a comprehensive twelve month warranty.
* Seven different component assemblies - operating within a 0.5g maximum tolerance, the introduction of the Mettler Toledo static checkweighing equipment has provided a failsafe solution for West Bromwich Tool and Engineering Co, where operators filling up to thirty seven pallets of boxes every hour, deal with seven different component assemblies and individual components ranging from as little as 1g to 2.5kg in weight.
As a consequence of installing Mettler Toledo technology, lost production time has been significantly reduced and management has benefited from the provision of comprehensive reports regarding units supplied, box weights and full pallet loads. Request a free brochure from Mettler Toledo ...
