Intelligent Inspection: Mettler-Toledo's New M30
R-Series GC Metal Detection Systems
Deliver Advanced Contaminant Detection
using the quick access menu. Localization at individual user level,
including a choice of 33 languages as standard, reduces error risk
and improves productivity. The new metal detection systems have a
rugged, industrial design, and offer three levels of ingress protection
from IP65 to IP69K to support long-term, reliable performance in
a wide range of manufacturing environments.
The M30 R-Series consists of four metal detector models matched to
different production and compliance needs, and budget considerations:
* M31R StandardLine - for versatile, reliable inspection in all
food segments; high frequency, tuned technology with eDrive
that delivers up to 10% spherical sensitivity improvement over
legacy models
* M33R PlusLine - enhanced performance with very high
frequency tuned technology and eDrive to deliver an up to
20% improvement in spherical sensitivity performance, ideal
for dry applications such as cereal bars, dry pasta, confectionery
and snacks
Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection launches a next-generation
series of metal detection systems that deliver a fresh dimension
to the food inspection market: smart, digital inspection designed
specifically for small and medium-size manufacturers and/or
co-packers. The modular design of the fully integrated system
can be adapted over time in line with evolving compliance and
productivity needs. This positions the M30 R-Series GC as an ideal
entry-level metal detection solution for manufacturers who value
high performance with future-proof flexibility built in.
Where the new metal detection systems really stand out from
competitor solutions is in the digital platform, powered by new
smart, SENSE™ software. This, combined with advanced algorithms,
makes it possible for these entry-level models to deliver
high sensitivity to all metal contaminant types with minimal false
rejects. Dynamic Stability Control innovations stabilize the core
sensor of the metal detector to help protect against environmental
noise and vibration interference for increased reliability. The
entry-level M30 R-series GC systems are designed on a modular
platform concept with streamlined features as standard. The metal
detector and conveyor can be easily upgraded as compliance or
production requirements change. This helps manufacturers to
achieve a lower overall cost of ownership and extend the useful life
of their equipment, supporting sustainability aims.
" SENSE™ really is a game-changer in the metal detection field.
Just like a human brain, it commands the neural network within
these digital inspection systems and integrated GC Series conveyors.
SENSE™ takes control of the entire metal detection system to
unprecedented levels, making judgements and decisions, learning
all the time, and constantly harmonizing and optimizing every
aspect of the operation, " said Mike Bradley, metal detection systems
product inspection specialist, Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection.
The M30 R-Series is the first product family from Mettler-Toledo
Product Inspection built around the leading-edge SENSE™ software
technology, bringing dramatic new levels of intelligence and
sophistication to the mid-market metal detection field. The fullcolor
touchscreen makes operation simple, with key tasks accessible

* M33RB PlusLine - enhanced performance with very high
frequency tuned technology and eDrive, combined with
optimized case / coil geometry to deliver up to 30% improved
spherical sensitivity performance in bulk applications such as
crates of meat and 25kg sacks of flour
* M34R PlusLine - enhanced performance using Dual-Simultaneous
Frequency and Product Signal Suppression technology
to improve spherical sensitivity performance by up to 25%
and reduce false rejects in wet or conductive applications;
tailored to wet, challenging and conductive applications such
as meat, poultry, seafood, dairy, products with high salt
content and those packed in metallized film
The metal detectors can be integrated with a wide range of
conveyor systems including Mettler-Toledo's recently enhanced
GC Series systems. This modular conveyor system solution now
includes new features such as extended belt lengths, a non-hollow
frame option and a wider range of reject devices including an
overhead sweep and retracting band.
" Food processors, FMCG manufacturers and co-packers have
long thought that to acquire advanced metal detection capabilities
they would have to spend a lot of money on a high-end system.
With the launch of our M30 R-Series metal detection systems, that
is no longer the case. They can now invest in a smart, digital metal
detection system that gives them highly advanced capabilities at
an attractive price. Along with the intelligent inspection capability,
they will also benefit from the robust reliability that Mettler-Toledo
is renowned for, as well as being certain that their investment is
future-proofed and able to develop with their own needs. This is
next-generation metal detection that will protect their brand, their
processes and their profits, " continued Mike Bradley.
