Minebea Intec, a specialist in weighing and inspection technologies, will be showcasing solutions at interpack 2023 that help manufacturers achieve greater product safety and efficiency, including systems for visual product inspection and a new dynamic checkweigher, which is also available in a high-speed version.

With its smart weighing and inspection technologies, the company, headquartered in Hamburg, provides solutions that are in line with the key themes of interpack 2023, which are all about the best possible performance, sustainability and digitalisation. From Checkweighers, metal detectors, X-ray inspection devices, platform scales, the corresponding software solutions through to the new automated image processing technology the company will be showcasing solutions for more efficient production processes.

Optical inspection for quality assurance

The new series of vision systems complements Minebea Intec as the fourth pillar of quality inspection, the portfolio of end-of-line inspection devices. Visitors to the stand at the trade fair will be able to experience the VisioPointer live. Supported by three cameras as standard, several types of lighting and optional side and satellite cameras for multi-sided analysis, it delivers precise results when checking labels, imprints or the best-before date. It also provides a reliable seal seam inspection. This inspection is an important visual quality check in the food sector, as the best-before date of the product can only be reached if the packaging is absolutely leak-proof.

"Sealing seam inspection with cameras is fast, non-destructive and customisable. Conventional methods do not offer these advantages. We are proud to be able to integrate this outstanding solution into our customers' production processes."

Before products are dispatched, they often have to be labelled in some way. The WPL-A automatic price labeller masters this reliably for products with variable weights such as cheese, meat or fish. This not only makes it possible to trace products, but also increases throughput and productivity. The WPL-A fulfils directives and standards such as the MID Measuring Instruments Directive and the NCWM's NTEP. The system is manufactured in Europe to high quality standards and offers maximum modularity and connectivity. It can be customised according to individual requirements as the ideal Automatic labelling solution for all kinds of challenges can be configured.

Checkweighers with high-resolution weighing technology

In the field of dynamic checkweighers, Minebea Intec presents the Essentus Performance L Combi, one of its bestsellers in a new guise. The new version combines the Essentus Performance L checkweigher and the Vistus metal detector in one base frame. This makes the system space-saving and efficient. The combined system is used to check the weight, carry out completeness checks, control upstream filling systems and simultaneously check for metallic foreign bodies. Essentus Performance L Combi is also calibratable and has a stainless steel conveyor system, which is ideal for hygienic requirements, especially for wet applications or unpackaged products.
