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.
Robust solution Requiring a weighing platform area of 4x2 metres, Novelis also stipulated that any scale provided must be exceptionally robust, easily capable of withstanding the daily rigours experienced in a busy smelting plant - and able to withstand 'unintentional' drive-over by forklift trucks using the factory floor.
Purpose-built Using their considerable experience of producing highly accurate weighing technologies for use in the harshest of industrial environments, Mettler-Toledo Industrial Division developed a totally unique pit-scale that fully embraced the particular requirements of Novelis.
Incorporating analogue weighing technology in a four-load-cell solution, the Mettler Toledo pit-scale created for Novelis provided a flush loading platform of 4x2 metres, was calibrated to a tolerance of 5 tonnes down to 1kg, incorporated overload protection for robust operation and was equipped with JagXtreme - the weighing technology specialist's most powerful scale terminal to-date, facilitating easy connectivity to PLC.
Mettler Toledo's fastest, most powerful scale terminal, JagXtreme is the first high performance industrial weighing solution to harness the power and flexibility of the internet to help integrate information and equipment life-cycle management, and to control automation in the manufacturing process.
