LUTZ, FLA. — Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection will showcase its inspection technologies at this year’s International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) from Jan. 28 to 30 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. The company will feature its x-ray systems, metal detectors, checkweighers and vision systems, which are all designed to help meat, poultry and animal feed processors and packers ensure food safety and maintain product quality.
“Cost pressures and operational challenges continue to impact meat and poultry processors on multiple levels,” said Thomas Koshy, sales director at Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection — Americas. “We’re responding by advancing our technology for superior quality control and regulatory compliance, while simultaneously making our systems more affordable and easier to use through streamlined design and unified components. Additionally, our enhanced automation and training resources help customers maintain high standards even when facing staffing challenges.”
During the processing tradeshow, Mettler-Toledo will feature its new X52 dual energy x-ray inspection system. The X52’s proprietary software allows the user to easily transition between single energy, dual energy or both modes, providing increased flexibility and optimized performance. Also on display featuring the company’s x-ray technology is the X36 DXD+, which offers detection of hard-to-find contaminants such as calcified bone in textured and overlapping product applications.
Mettler-Toledo’s new CM (checkweigher and metal detector) combination system provides flexibility and is available in a range of price points. The all-in-one checkweigher/vision/x-ray/metal detector system provides comprehensive quality control in a single unit.
On the vision system side of the business, Mettler-Toledo will showcase the V31. This system’s capabilities include verifying the integrity of graphics, reading and verifying 1D and 2D codes and inspecting alpha-numeric characters to prevent labeling errors.
Mettler-Toledo’s Profile Advantage checkweigher features a conveyor designed specifically for meat and protein applications. The system contains stainless-steel construction, tool-less removable components and other features which can withstand harsh washdowns. Also on display at the IPPE booth, will be a Profile Advantage pipeline metal detector designed to inspect liquids, slurries and purees.
The C35 washdown AdvancedLine checkweigher can reject under- and overweight packages to ensure legal weight requirements are met while reducing product giveaway. The system features FlashCell™ EMFR technology allowing the machine to maximize accuracy at throughputs of up to 800 packages per minute. Its IP69 rating also promises protection against caustic detergents and high-pressure cleaning.
Connecting all the systems is Mettler-Toledo’s advanced connectivity and data management solution — ProdX™. The technology’s machine-to-machine communication can help processors reduce auditing time and facilitate faster product recalls if needed.
Mettler-Toledo will showcase all its inspection technologies at Booth C24159 during IPPE 2025.
