Adam Sentinel SFC 400 Combi Inline Checkweigher & Metal Detector

Combined Checkweighing and Metal Detection

The Adam Sentinel SFC 400 is a combined dynamic checkweigher and metal-detection system designed to provide two important production quality-control processes within one integrated solution.

Products are automatically weighed as they travel through the conveyor system while the integrated metal detector provides an additional inspection for unwanted metal contaminants. Combining these processes can reduce the amount of separate inspection equipment required on a production line while maintaining automated product inspection.

With a maximum weighing capacity of 3 kg and 1 g readability, the SFC 400 extends the Sentinel Combi range to larger products than the SFC 200. The system is particularly relevant to food and beverage manufacturing, where both weight control and contaminant detection can form important parts of production quality assurance.

Key Specifications

Two Quality-Control Processes in One System

Combining checkweighing and metal detection allows products to undergo both weight verification and metal-contaminant inspection as part of the same automated production process. Products that do not meet the configured requirements can be removed from the production flow using the specified rejection system.

This makes the SFC 400 particularly suitable where production efficiency, product consistency and contaminant control are important considerations.

Quote on request. Sentinel systems are made to order and configurable for individual applications. Final system specification, throughput, metal-detection performance, rejection method, conveyor dimensions and integration requirements should be confirmed for the intended application before ordering. Product specifications may be updated by the manufacturer.
