Combined weighing and metal detection equipment

Outstanding functions

• Combined metal detector and checkweigher operated from a single console.
• Metal detection:
• • Multi-frequency.
  • Variable belt speed.
  • Auto-setup, with interference suppression and automatic sensitivity calibration.
  • Digital multi-filter, to guarantee maximum stability in aggressive environments.
  • Auto-balance. Automatic detection and compensation of signal changes (e.g. temperature variations).
  • Precise detection zone. Precise location of the metal particle in the detection field, allowing a thorough separation. 
  • Self-monitoring. Monitors the correct functioning of all the equipment components.
  • Automatic cancellation of the “product effect”, with real-time product parameter measurement capabilities.
  • Dynamic self-monitoring (tracking of changes in product characteristics).
  • Guarantees maximum sensitivity in each operation.
  • Security: Access protected with three levels of passwords.
• Weighing:
• High performance weighing: up to 200 ppm.
• Discrimination by weight checking.
• Productivity control.
• Effective filling control “℮” (optional).
• Certified according to 2014/32/UE MID Directive: approved equipment.
• Modular design.
• IP65 stainless steel electric drawer.

Weighing

• Weighing type:
• Dynamic or static (automatic).
• Ranges depending on the dimension of the weighing conveyor:
• 1,5 kg / 0,5 g.
• 6 kg / 2 g.
• 15 kg / 5 g.
• Other ranges:
• 1 kg / 0,1 g (no MID).
• 30 kg / 10 g with MID.

Rejection system (optional)*

• Rejection system type:
• “Air-jet ®” air blowing.
• Pneumatic piston.
• Accompanying blade.
• Pusher blade.
• It is possible to reject products with metal and products outside the target range.
• Option to reject over-range and underrange products with different rejectors.

* All the rejection systems (pneumatic piston, “Air-jet®”, etc.) depend on the type of product/packaging, required speed, collection system, etc.; please always check with Dibal.

Construction

• Structure:
• AISI 304 stainless steel tunnel, with IP66 protection.
• AISI 304L stainless steel and anodised aluminium.
• Belts (all of them with FDA approval):
• Standard.
• High speed: super adherent.
• Sliders: for expulsion areas.
• Guides:
• AISI 304L stainless steel, anodized aluminum and cestilene.
• TFT 10,1’’ capacitive touch screen (optional TFT 15’’).
• Vertical electric drawer with TFT integrated.

Complete kit for compliance with IFS / BRC regulations

• Optional. Includes:
• Metal detection rejection with lockable container.
• Optical rejection sensor and full container optical sensor for metal rejection.
• Methacrylate protection tunnel from the exit of the metal detector arc to the metal rejection.
• Acoustic and audible alarm.

Communications to PC

• Ethernet TCP/IP.
• RS-232.
• 4 USB (3.0).

Software

• Communications and management of the machine from any PC on the network (web server integrated in the machines without the need to install any extra application). The machine can be accessed from any web browser and therefore from any platform (Windows, Android...).
• Data exchange systems:
• Dibal API: based on webservices for loading/reading data from the LS5000 and its operation.
• Sending of information in real time (websocket) (Ethernet or serial port): sending of weights from the LS5000.
• File exchange with upload/download of information (Excel or CSV).

Power supply

• Electrical: 230 V / 50 Hz.
• Air: max. 150 l/min (at 6-8 bar) (in case of incorporating rejection system).
