By: Mettler-Toledo International Inc. Peter Kölln created, with the "Blütenzarte Köllnflocken" Kölln's oat flakes are produced in line with the most stringent of quality standards Even in today's food-retail industry, the "Köllnflocken" The Garvens XE3 checkweigher inspects the weight of each and every box of muesli On the muesli production line, an XE3 checkweigher from METTLER TOLEDO Garvens inspects the new, delicious muesli with flakes of white chocolate and almonds. Thanks to its weight classification in 3 weight zones and a wide range of extras and accessories, the XE3 is ideally suited to usage in food production. Thanks to its easy operation and memory space for up to 100 items, this checkweigher proves advantageous in many respects - especially for a company, such as Peter Kölln, with an extensive product range. This modern checkweigher automatically removes overweight and underweight products from the production process using a pusher. At Peter Kölln, this checkweigher inspects approximately 14 different products with weights between 325 grammes and 1 kilogramme. In doing so, a maximum of 140 packages are inspected per minute. On the muesli production line, the XE3 precisely inspects the weight of the various types of muesli down to the nearest gramme. CW-ReAcT II enables networking between the XE3 checkweigher and an external workstation On the muesli production line at Peter Kölln, the XE3 is controlled by CW-ReAcT II, the "Checkweigher Remote Access Tool", and is networked with another workstation. This allows complete information on the checkweigher to be monitored and archived from one workstation. Peter Kölln's production management therefore has central access to all printable data on the checkweigher and can even centrally maintain the product master data. The Signature metal detection system is even able to detect the smallest of foreign bodies The Garvens checkweigher features yet another product inspection solution from METTLER TOLEDO: the Signature metal detection system from Safeline inspects all of Kölln's packets of muesli for metal contaminants prior to the weighing process. Metal foreign bodies may be introduced with raw materials in the production process, which would ultimately contaminate products and ruin the brand image. However, the Safeline metal detector ensures that even the finest of metal particles are detected in the produce. Even particles of nonmagnetic stainless steel and thin pieces of wire are reliably detected and the affected package is then automatically ejected from the production line. These highly-sensitive metal detectors make a significant contribution towards the quality assurance concept in place at Peter Kölln. A comprehensive range of services rounds off METTLER TOLEDO's product inspection portfolio METTLER TOLEDO offers a full range of in-line control solutions, i.e. checkweighers, metal detectors and X-ray inspection technology.
