Automated set-up coupled with intelligent software improve uptime, reduce costs and enhance detection sensitivity to provide the ultimate in product safety with minimal FRR.
Automated Product Set-Up
Automation of X34 X-ray enhances detection sensitivity and production uptime by removing the possibility of human programming errors during set-up.
For pumped liquid, paste, slurry and vacuum packed product applications
Safeline Pipeline metal detection systems can be utilised to inspect a wide variety of pumped food products and can detect all metal contaminants including ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steels. Mettler Toledo Safeline L Series and HDS Pipeline metal detectors are designed for installation in food production environments.
Pipeline metal detector for all types of metal contaminants
Mettler Toledo Safeline pipeline metal detectors are designed for inspecting pumped liquids, pastes, slurries, high viscosity fluids and vacuum-packed products in industrial food and non-food processing applications. Our Pipeline metal detectors are capable of detecting all types of metal and ensuring they are removed from the process flow.
Advanced Metal Detection for Maximum Compliance
Safeline metal detectors use sophisticated technology to provide advanced metal detection solutions, capable of detecting all metal types including ferrous, non-ferrous (including aluminium and brass), and difficult to detect stainless steel, and eliminating the contaminated product from the process flow. Our Profile Advantage Pipeline metal detector uses Multi Simultaneous Frequency and Product Signal Suppression technology to detect smallest metal contaminants in the most challenging applications.
Easy System Integration
Heavy duty, stainless steel pneumatic reject valves with quick release couplings automatically remove metal contaminated product from the process flow. The use of Safeline’s ZMFZ (Zero Metal Free Zone) technology allows the metal fittings of the throughput pipe and other process equipment to be positioned closer to the detection head without affecting the detector performance. This facilitates a short throughput pipe for maximised product quality in restricted installation spaces.

Hall 11.1, Stand B65
Cost pressure and short shelf life combined with complex regulatory requirements impact meat manufacturers. Packaging trends and market requirements for wider product variety add additional pressure. Mettler Toledo’s solutions are designed to make it easier to detect smaller contaminants, reduce product waste, minimise false rejects, maximise uptime and meet compliance needs.
Whatever your product format and material handling method at the designated critical control point – loose or bulk, pumped, fresh, frozen, or packed – Mettler Toledo has a product inspection solution to meet your needs.
Foreign Body Detection and Rejection by Metal Detector
Wet products such as meat can be challenging for traditional metal detection technology. Our patented Profile Advantage system overcomes “product effect” to detect smaller irregular shaped contaminants, delivering enhanced brand protection. By virtually eliminating false rejects, operator efficiency is improved.
Automation of Quality Control Processes by X-Ray
Manually checking for missing products, damaged packaging, or under- and over-weight products can be a time consuming process. Quality checks can be automated using X-ray inspection, checkweighing, or vision inspection technology to enhance production line efficiency.
Minimise Overfill to Reduce Waste by Checkweigher
Overfilling results in unnecessary product giveaway and leads to increased costs. Using a dynamic checkweighing system ensures each and every product is inspected to guard against under- or over-weight products and comply with weights and measures legislation.
Visit Mettler Toledo stand to find out more product inspection solutions for the meat industry.
Dynamic checkweighers are used every day to provide the highest degree of weighing accuracy and ensure pharmaceutical products fully comply with GMPs (Good Manufacturing Practices) and worldwide regulations. However, smooth product transfers are essential to avoid unexpected line stoppages, prevent product backup and maximise productivity.
Check the video below to discover how Mettler Toledo checkweighers ensure flawless product transfers of a wide range of pharmaceutical applications, packaging types and sizes.
Discover how askew package detection helps to ensure correct package orientation and allows the maximum skew that’s tolerable to be individually set and stored for each product setup.
Watch how the transversal adjustment option enables checkweighers to be adjusted transversally across the transport direction, reducing downtime by enabling fast and simple product changeovers.
See how a top and bottom belt conveyor provides the optimum solution for transferring products from the cartoner onto the checkweigher by preventing products skewing.
Discover how the electro-mechanical locking function on catch bins enhances product safety by ensuring that access to rejected off-weight or contaminated products is restricted to authorised personnel.
Learn how the reject countercheck option allows 100% monitoring of the production flow and is capable of confirming that a package that should have been rejected is actually rejected.
See for yourself how the login server provides facilities for creating and maintaining a database of all those who have access to the checkweigher.

The best bakery operations are focused on day-to-day business—from managing production needs, reducing waste, and ensuring the highest food quality to keeping product displays full and appealing. Mettler Toledo’sproduct inspection solutions help your bakery operations run smoothly, providing the flexibility you need from the bakery ovens to the time your customers make their purchase.
The introduction of tighter safety regulations means that consumer food products have never been safer. However, product recalls still make headline news when they occur. An incorrectly labelled product is one of the main reasons for product recalls, but inspection solutions can eliminate that risk.
Controlled processing and consistent quality are primary concerns. Mettler Toledo’s solutions for the bakery and biscuits Industry focus on analysis for quality control, and process monitoring of key parameters, as well as supporting many weighing and measuring applications in the material flow, from receiving through production to shipping.
Advantages include better accuracy, a reduced need for inspection staff and the assurance that every product on the line is inspected. Mettler ToledoCI-Vision’s V6300 performs label inspection on flat, oriented packs while the Mosaic system is able to inspect labels on round, un-oriented products. Images are processed by the system software, which locates key label data and verifies it against predefined parameters. For example, bar codes, key ingredient information or particular graphic elements can be checked. That’s the reason manufacturers are now turning to vision-inspection technology to improve quality control processes.
Challenging Detection Applications Up to 50% Improvement in Sensitivity
SAFELINE METAL DETECTOR
Profile Advantagemetal detectors from Mettler Toledo feature multi-simultaneous frequency technology, which provides up to 50 percent greater detection sensitivity than standard systems. The system can find more metal than traditional systems in wet, warm or chilled food by virtually eliminating the active product signal. This leads to a significant fall in false rejects, minimised waste and improved process efficiency.
Multiple products, one setting
Profile Advantage also avoids the need to have a separate setting for each product.
X-ray Inspection Technology More than Contaminant Detection
SAFELINE X-RAY INSPECTION
Safeline X-ray technology is primarily used for contaminant detection, identifying contaminants including glass, metal, dense plastics and stones. However, the technology can also perform other quality control tasks simultaneously such as weight assessment, checking closures and fill level, identifying damaged packaging and even the presence of product captured in packaging seals. All of this can be achieved from a single, highly reliable inspection unit with fully integrated facilities for the efficient rejection of out-of-specification products. Advanced x-ray systems are also easy to set-up and operate through an intuitive user interface which requires minimal operator expertise and training.
