CheckweighersLoad Cell Upgrades

As the heart of your checkweigher, the load cell is subject to a degree of wear over the years. This wear can affect the precision and product life of the load cell. Upgrading to the latest version ensures that maximum equipment performance will be maintained.

Metal DetectorsElectronic Platform Upgrades

Upgrading your metal detector’s electronic platform will provide improved levels of security, enhanced operational performance and increased compliance with the demands of food safety standards. You can experience significant benefits without having to replace the entire machine.

X-ray Inspection SystemsSoftware Upgrades

The x-ray system’s software is crucial to the overall effectiveness of a production line. If the x-ray software is up-to-date and working effectively, contaminants and product defects continue to be detected and removed, safeguarding brand protection.

Technology moves on at an ever increasing pace as consumers and retailers demand more from the products they purchase. This demand drives the evolution of more stringent food industry safety standards. For many metal detection systems, such shifts in requirements would necessitate the need to purchase a completely new machine just to keep pace - but this is no longer the case if you have a METTLER TOLEDO Safeline Signature detector.

Selecting the Right Upgrade PathIf your Safeline metal detector has round buttons, you can upgrade to a Touch LS (V4 software) platform.

If your membrane key panel has square buttons, turn to page 6 for details on the V2-V3 upgrade option. Pressing the square ‘recall’ key on the key panel will confirm which software version you have.

V3-V4 Upgrade Path Delivers Enhanced PerformanceExisting METTLER TOLEDO Safeline users with a V3 (Signature) electronics platform are now able to benefit from the Touch LS upgrade path for enhanced performance.

The upgrade takes detection sensitivity and operational efficiency up to levels similar to those offered by Safeline’s Profile metal detection technology.

Low Cost, Easy InstallationThe upgrade is carried out in-situ and Installation is quick and simple resulting in negligible downtime. The new software platform provides improved levels of security, improved operational performance and increased compliance with the demands of food safety standards.

The Touch LS Upgrade provides you with a full colour touchscreen and an upgraded Power Supply Unit

You can rely on Safeline metal detectors to provide years of reliable product inspection, keeping you ahead of the game and in front of the competition. Now you can improve performance, enhance on-board features and bring your V2 metal detector right up to date - thanks to a low-cost upgrade that delivers a range of new benefits.

Each V2-V3 Upgrade Pack includes:

• Metal Detector electronic module

• Power Supply Unit (PSU)

• Interconnection Board

Low Cost, Easy InstallationOur engineers can undertake installations quickly and efficiently for minimum downtime.

During the service visit, the fully qualified METTLER TOLEDO engineer will also:

• Carry out recommissioning

• Issue accompanying IPac documentation including a Performance Verification certificate

• Re-train operators if required

Confirm You Can UpgradeIf your metal detector features square buttons then you have either a V1 or a V2 platform. Pressing the square ‘recall’ key on the key panel will confirm which software version you have.

A V2 metal detector can be upgraded to a V3 platform; V1 metal detectors should be replaced. Contact your METTLER TOLEDO Sales or Service representative for more details.

The V3 upgrade utilises a similar interface to V2, making it easy for operators to quickly get up to speed with the enhanced menu options

The load cell is the heart of a checkweigher. It deserves attention.Upgrading to the latest version ensures that maximum equipment performance will be maintained.

By changing over to the latest generation of load cells, you avoid a possible drop in performance and can exploit other advantages. Like any other mechanical component, the load cell is subject to a degree of wear over the years. This wear can affect the precision and product life of the load cell. The precision, performance and maximum throughput of the whole plant depend on the load cell.

Accuracy, reliability and easy integration characterize the electro-magnetic force compensation load cells from METTLER TOLEDO.

Different versions of both the TF10 and TF20 load cell types are available. They can be used to replace load cells of the BF8 and BF10 types, as were fitted into Garvens checkweigher models of the E-series and S-series built from the year 2000 onwards (e.g. checkweigher models E2, E3, S2 and S3).

METTLER TOLEDO’s local Service Team will be happy to advise and assist you.
