Actually went with LW-IMC1608 because we needed a combined metal detector and checkweigher that doesn't hog floor space but still handles the 5g to 600g range we run most of our pouches through, and the 160x80mm aperture is tight enough for our smallest packs but the 150mm width clears them fine — we usually have stock, but confirm lead time if you're on a deadline.
Sensitivity specs are decent for this class: Fe down to 0.5-0.7mm, non-Fe at 1.0mm, and stainless 304 at 1.0-1.2mm, which is useful because those 304 shavings from our depalletizer keep showing up in audits, and the ±1g accuracy on the weigh side is tighter than most combo units we've looked at, though that assumes product isn't bouncing.
Belt speed ranges form 10 to 70m/min, so we'll probably run it around 30m/min for our frozen chicken strips (usually 400g packs or so) since faster tends to throw off the checkweigher on sticky products anyway, and the IP54 rating is fine for our dry processing area but I wouldn't use it in wet washdown zones — that's an IP65 unit territory.
It rejects via air blast or alarm stop depending on what you set, and data exports to Excel via USB (which our QC team wanted for lot traceability), but what it does is it consolidates metal detection, checkweighing, and historical logging into one stream instead of two separate machines fighting for the same line space.
Compliance-wise, it's built in SS304 with a touch-screen HMI that's pretty straightforward to navigate, and the suppiler has standerd EU CE docs plus a COA for each unit shipped — we usually need import docs handed over in 5 business days or so for customs, so request that upfront.
The belt assembly comes off for cleaning (a detail you'd miss until you've scrubbed a fixed conveyor), and for food pharma guys it holds up better than domestic hardware for mainland specs if you're in the US or EU, though the working height is 800mm give or take 100mm and you might need leg levelers if your line sits higher.
It handles products from 5g to 600g, with a weighing accuracy of ±1g. If your items fall outside that range, this model won't work for you.
Yes, we provide material certificates for the SS304 construction and can share sensitivity test reports for Fe, Non-Fe, and SS304 on request.
Lead time is typically 15-20 working days after order confirmation. The MOQ is one unit, so you can start with a single machine.
You can select either rejection mode directly on the touch screen HMI. Switching between alarm stop and air blast is a simple menu change, no hardware modifications needed.
Keep it in a dry, clean environment within its IP54 rating—indoor use is fine. No special storage required, just power it down and cover it to prevent dust buildup on the belt and sensors.
