• Reduces manual handling and saves labor.

Customer Benefits: Boosts overall line productivity and lowers operating costs.

6. Metal Detector

The Metal Detector ensures food safety by detecting any metal contaminants in the finished products. Coupled with the Checkweigher, which automatically rejects over- or under-weight packages, the line maintains consistent product quality and compliance with international standards.

Function: Detects metallic contaminants within packaged products.

Advantages:

• High sensitivity for detecting various metal types.
• Automatically rejects contaminated products.

Customer Benefits: Ensures food safety, complies with international standards, and enhances customer trust.

7. Checkweigher

The Checkweigher guarantees accurate weight control for every packaged product, ensuring consistency and compliance with industry standards. Working seamlessly with the Metal Detector, it automatically identifies and rejects any package that falls outside the set weight range, helping maintain a high-quality production line.

Function:
Measures the weight of finished packages in real time and removes overweight or underweight items automatically.

Advantages:

• High-precision weighing with rapid response speed.
• Real-time monitoring and data recording for quality tracking and reporting.
• Seamless integration with upstream and downstream equipment for continuous operation.

Customer Benefits:
Improves product quality consistency, minimizes manual inspection, and enhances production efficiency while maintaining compliance with international packaging standards.

8. Rotary Collecting Table

The Rotary Collecting Table serves as the final stage of the packaging line, collecting finished products in an orderly manner for easy packing, inspection, or manual handling. It’s an efficient solution to streamline workflow and maintain continuous production without interruption.

Function:
Automatically receives and accumulates packaged products from the conveyor, enabling convenient product collection and sorting.

Advantages:

• Adjustable speed control to match line output.
• Smooth and stable rotation prevents product damage.
• Stainless steel construction for durability and hygienic operation.

Customer Benefits:
Simplifies product collection and packing processes, reduces manual workload, and improves overall line efficiency and organization.

All modules are integrated through a full-line automation system using PLC or industrial control technology. This synchronization allows remote monitoring, automatic adjustments, and error alerts, ensuring the line operates continuously with minimal downtime.

Finally, the entire line is highly flexible, capable of handling various bag types, including pillow bags, gusset bags, block bottom bags, and self-standing zip-lock bags, making it suitable for a wide range of products and packaging specifications.
