Microsep has extended its range of Mettler Toledo product inspection equipment to offer solutions for all markets which include food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, chemical, non-food and non-pharma industries. The product range includes Garvens checkweighers, Safeline metal detectors and X-ray analysers.
Applications in the food industry include the weighing and inspection of wet, dry, fresh and frozen foodstuffs. Systems allow compliance with legal requirements such as HACCP, industry guidelines and codes of practice including IFS and BRC standards.
Solutions for the pharmaceutical industry include weighing and inspection technology for tablets (such as looking for missing tablets in blister pacs with an X-ray analyser), capsules, powders and insert documentation. Systems provide assistance in meeting the demands of GMP and are compatible with CFR 21 Part 11 requirements.
In the cosmetic and chemical industry, systems allow for the inspection, weighing and sorting of products from bulk liquid, powder and granular chemicals through to small consumer packs such as healthcare products, toothpastes, lotions and detergents.
Mettler Toledo’s product inspection equipment can also be applied to a wide range of other applications including inspection in paper converting, textiles and component manufacture. Systems can determine piece count by weight, for example, nuts and bolts for D.I.Y. markets and the weighing and rejection of out-oftolerance coin blanks prior to embossing.
