Combination Checkweigher

A Combination Checkweigher integrates two key product inspection technologies into one compact system: a checkweigher and either a metal detector or an X-ray inspection unit. This all-in-one solution simultaneously checks product weight and inspects for contaminants, ensuring every item leaving the production line meets both quality and safety standards.

There are plenty! It streamlines production by combining weighing and contaminant detection in a single unit, reduces equipment footprint to free up valuable factory floor space, and simplifies operation, maintenance, and integration into existing production lines. It also improves efficiency and reduces downtime through faster quality checks, ensures compliance with industry regulations and customer quality standards, provides full traceability and data capture for quality assurance records, and enhances product safety, consistency, and overall brand reputation.

Very quickly! These high performance units are compact and easily installed into a production line in less than 2 hours, minimising disruption to your existing operation.

A combination system maximises available space by combining a metal detector or X-ray unit and checkweigher into one complete unit, rather than requiring two separate machines. This is especially useful where floor space on the production line is limited.

Combination systems are widely used across food, pharmaceutical, and packaging industries, where precision and compliance are critical, helping manufacturers maintain full control over product integrity while optimising valuable line space.

Yes! As well as metal detector combination units, MWS offers X-ray inspection systems such as the 2XR51, which scans packaged food up to 1500g and dimensions of 200 x 100mm, giving you the option to detect a wider range of contaminants alongside weight checking.

MWS supplies a range of compact combi checkweighers, including the 08D3, an integrated checkweigher and metal detector for small to medium format products, and the 08T3, which combines a metal detector and checkweigher in one machine with a touchscreen display, also for small to medium format products.

Absolutely! By simultaneously checking product weight and inspecting for contaminants, combination checkweighers help ensure compliance with industry regulations and customer quality standards, while also providing full traceability and data capture for your quality assurance records.
